Huestis’ Cable Jacket Stripper in action ▲ ▲

There are many reasons for scrap occurrences in cable manufacturing, and there are many stripping units in the marketplace – includingmany commercial strippers that utilise fixed knives or blades to cut the jacket or insulation as it is pulled by a cater puller or take-up. These machines have a common setback in that they do not follow the variations in jacket thickness because the blade height is fixed. Thus, the core is not protected from the cutting surface and, when variations occur, the conductor surface is scored, cut or damaged. The Huestis Cable Jacket Stripper allows for variations in the thickness of the jacket material and protects the core product by means of a stripping shoe that separates the core from the material as it is being cut or stripped. The machine is versatile, it can be customised for specific applications, and is solid in design with a history of performance and reliability. When used in conjunction with a pay-off and a take-up, it will handle a variety of size ranges. There are many successful applications on single and stranded (bare metal or cable core) as well as flat, shielded and fibre optics. It is available in bench and floor
