Smallest in the range
BWE’s Conklad 315 machine is based on the highly successful and well-proven Conform
315 model. The Conklad 315 is the smallest machine in the BWE Conklad range but
incorporates many of the standard design features found on the larger machines, such
as hydraulic shoe opening, feedstock shear, epicyclic gearbox and torque tube.
The Conklad 315 operates in tangential mode, using a single infeed rod, for cladding
and sheathing operations. The machine has been optimised for high efficiency
production of:
• Aluminium clad steel wire (AS Wire)
• OPGW and CATV cables
• Sheathed composite cores
• Reinforced aluminium wire
• Solid aluminium conductor (SAC)
The basic machine construction is based on the proven BWE design, which has a
record of reliable operation over many years of service. Extreme rigidity, the ability
to operate at high extrusion pressures and separately controlled wheel and die
temperature ensures that tooling clearances remain optimal throughout long
periods of continuous operation.
Automatic die heating and wheel cooling systems ensure rapid pre-heat to the correct
starting temperature and maintain optimum extrusion conditions during production
without operator intervention.
Overall economics are further improved by insert tooling that allows the
wearing surface of the main tooling component, the die chamber, to be replaced at
minimal cost.
BWE offers a wide range of services tailored to customers’ needs, ranging from
machine-only supply with customers providing their own ancillaries to full turn-key
systems including plant engineering, training, installation and commissioning.
