Conform™ and Conklad™ are well
established continuous extrusion tech-
nologies in the non-ferrous, cable and
tube industries. Typical applications
include copper and aluminium rectangular
wire (magnet wire for transformers), solid
aluminium conductor (SAC for cables),
copper bus bar, trolley wire and other
shaped conductors, AS wire, OPGW,
CATV, round refrigeration tube, multiport
or PFC tubes in different alloys.
BWE’s SheathEx™ technology is fast
becoming the new alternative to
seamless aluminium sheathing of high
voltage cables. The SheathEx process
provides a continuous (no stop marks),
reliable (no weld) and cost-effective
(cheap materials, low energy, etc)
method of sheathing high voltage power
cables.
A new Conform machine has been
specifically designed to extrude solid
aluminium conductor (round or sector
shaped) from 2 x 9.5mm diameter rods,
providing a cost-effective process to a
product in demand.
A new Conklad machine has been added
to the range, enabling small and delicate
cores to be sheathed from one
aluminium feedstock rod instead of two.
The machine will reduce capital and
running costs for applications such as
AS wire, OPGW, sheathed composite
cores, reinforced aluminium wire and
solid aluminium conductor (SAC).
BWE continues to manufacture and
supply a complete range of cold welders
and dies for a fast and reliable solution
to welding non-ferrous materials from
fine wire to round rod.

Candor Sweden AB
Stand: G17
Candor was founded in 1946 and is
specialised in wire cleaning and plating
plants and as a supplier of chemicals for
various applications.
The company will present the latest
developments of the Copperjet, a high
speed copper coating plant, chemical or
electrolytic, for high quality welding
wires. The plant will copper coat the wire
at high speeds up to 25-30m/s with best
possible cleaning and coating quality.
A modular design makes it possible to
satisfy a wide range of quality demands
and applications for CO2, MIG, FCW and
SAW welding wires, and also stainless
steel welding wires with ultrasonic or
electrolytic cleaning. The Copperjet is
available with optional Candojet HW hot
water spray pre-cleaning, high current
density spray pickling, and Copperjet
copper coating, with looping of the wire
or straight wire pass line with Copperjet
technology. Candor will also present its
technology for wire plating plants for
both ferrous and non-ferrous wires.
The company offers single- and
multi-wire cleaning and plating lines for
ferrous and non-ferrous wires for various
applications such as:
• Welding wire cleaning and copper
coating
• Ultrasonic and electrolytic wire
cleaning for round and shaped wires
• Candojet HW – hot water wire
cleaning for round and shaped wires
• Single- and multi-wire electrolytic
plating plants for wires such as
tinning, coppering, nickel plating,
silver plating and galvanising for all
sorts of wire materials

Condat
Stand: H46
With 160 years of expertise, Condat’s
lubricant range is recognised worldwide
in the wire drawing market (mechanical
and electrical wire). The Vicafil and
Steelskin range gathers together a wide
choice of wire drawing soaps, surface
treatment, neat and soluble oils and
degreasing products. Nowadays, to
increase productivity, wire drawing
machines feature more and more drafts
and elevated drawing speed. To satisfy
these challenges, Condat has developed
a new wire drawing lubricant: Vicafil
Senja.
Launched in February 2017, Vicafil Senja
gives the following key benefits:
• HSE-friendly solution: low borax
level, no nitrites
• High performance: its specific
formulation offers added shear and
temperature resistance
Vicafil Senja offers an optimal adherent
lubricant film all through the most
demanding drawing lines in terms of
speed and number of drafts. It has
encountered great success on steelcord
process, phosphated PC wire and
welding wires. For example, on PC wire,
coupled with Vicafil TN 1548 for the first
draft, Vicafil Senja allows a higher
drawing speed (on phosphate/soaped
rod).
Together with Vicafil Sumac (low borax)
and Santale 6 (borax-free soap), Condat
can now offer a tailored solution for the
most demanding applications. For
aluminium wire drawing, Vicafil’s TFA
neat oils range is designed to offer both
low residues and extended operating life.
