Conductor preheater During the manufacture of data cables, a reliable conductor preheating is required to ensure optimum adhesion of the insulation on the wire. For these applications Sikora offers the preheating system, Preheater 6000. The Preheater 6000 is positioned before the extruder and preheats the wire by means of inductive heating from 100°C to 180°C, depending on product type.

Sikora offers the device with its own processor system, Ecocontrol 600, directly integrated in the pre-heater housing. The Ecocontrol 600 displays the product and production para- meters numerically and graphically on a clear 8.4" TFT monitor. Moreover, it includes a trend display of the relevant data, such as temperature and line speed. An integrated product library stores and recalls product recipes. To ensure a stable temperature and optimum adhesion the required power is calculated by the Preheater 6000, depending on line speed and product diameter.
