Steel fibre production machine
from Eurolls
The new machine guarantees a high and continuous production of steel fibre
and, with the appropriate tools, can be preset for the production of any type,
shape and dimension.
A feature of this machine
is the introduction of
a new concept that
combines simplicity of
operation with high
performance and
production.
Another innovation is
the tolerance range of
the inlet wire material: it
is so broad that it
permits the processing
of wire rejected from
other processes, into a
quality final steel fibre
product with a high
market value.

Multiwire stranding –
without a break
COS 1200-37 multi-wire concentric stranding line from Pourtier – Gauder
Group is designed to produce round or sectoral compacted strands of 7, 19,
37 or 61 copper (dia. 1.5 – 3mm) or aluminium (dia. 2 – 3.5mm) wires.
The concentric construction
and multi-wire process permit
speeds up to 500rpm (com-
pared to 200rpm with a
traditional rigid stranding line)
while keeping a short line
length. Each bobbin is
equipped with an individual
driven tension control for the
prevention of wire breakage,
optimisation of the final section
and, therefore, resistance of the
cable.
A 37-wire line is composed of 6 independent modules of two reels of
three wires each, individually motorised by AC motors. Filling of the reels
is made from basket pay-offs with an individual capstan to pull the cable
and to equalise the tension of each wire, reaching the best winding quality.
Higher speed, smaller space, safer production, this flexible line also
allows reduction of copper remainders, all the parameters being
adjustable from the Colour Touch Screen Control Panel for a better
process control.
