ovality of cables.
Sikora’s product range also includes
spark testers for the detection of
insulation faults, lump detectors for the
detection of faults on the product
surface, capacity measuring systems
and devices for conductor preheating as
well as temperature measurement and

Sjogren Industries
Stand: K13
Sjogren Industries has introduced a new
wire puller that improves operator safety
and productivity, and is compatible with
a wide range of puller assemblies. The
product was developed by the
company’s in-house engineering and
product design team to address
real-world problems confronted in wire
mills every day, such as reducing risk of
operator accident or injury, reducing the
time required to perform spool start-up,
preventing wire breakage during start up,
less frequent replacement of puller
components, and preventing damage to
capstan surface during start-up.
The new Sjogren Puller incorporates an
ergonomic handle which, in conjunction
with a locking function that keeps the
puller jaws open, enables the operator to
easily hold the puller in one hand while
inserting the wire with the other hand.
The jaws are locked open by use of a
slide plate which retracts the upper jaw.
The slide plate can be easily gripped
while wearing heavy-duty work gloves, a
significantly more efficient (and safe)
process than forcing both jaws open
manually, as is common with many puller
designs.
