www.read-eurowire.comThe RN-Z silicone
extrusion line is
the newcomer
Rosendahl is constantly investing in its
cable manufacture technology. Its decision to
deal with liquid-cooled extruders and silicone
was therefore rather inherent. With this new
manufacturing solution, the company is ringing
in a new round in its product development.
The properties you have to consider when
dealing with silicone as a material are quite
different from those of polymers. A perfect
crosslinking process is the be-all and end-all in
order to keep the material stable and process
it into a cable with the requisite mechanical
properties. In so doing, the extruded cable is
treated at temperatures from 600°C to 800°C.
The RN-Z silicone extrusion line has been
extensively
tested
at
Rosendahl’s
new
technology centre. The process was analysed
and mathematically tracked, evaluated, and the
figures compared. The results were very positive
with a perfect crosslinking, high product quality,
high centricity and high throughput.
