SZ laying-up line for submarine/offshore cables

and stranders for manufacturing extra high voltage cables or unique rotating machines of huge dimensions, mainly for umbilical and submarine cables or steel ropes. The company produces all of its machines in Spain. FLYMCA – Spain Fax : +34 942 55 98 65

The efficient machine, built with advanced and updated technical solutions, can run at up to 20m/min. FLYMCA builds all types of rotating machines for production of power and telecom cables and steel ropes: traditional stranders; laying-up machines; rigid, tubular, skip and planetary stranders; bow cablers; and drum twisting lines. The company also produces special machines, such as the one detailed above,

FLYMCA has produced a high-tech, complete line within a short delivery time, in order to help a European customer to supply cables used for cabling offshore wind farms, oil and gas production sites, islands connections or any other connections under water. The line is forecast to realise the laying-up of medium and high voltage cables with following composition: up to four conductors of 630mm 2 , each one with a diameter of 65mm over insulation; four additional conductors, each with a diameter up to 30mm; 16 additional conductors (fibre optics and filling items), each up to a diameter of 25mm.

It’s Seamless and It’s SheathEx™ The New Process for High Voltage

Cable Sheathing Main Features Include: •

▲ ▲ HRT-2 with reversible spindles

The equipment in Jian Hwa Enterprise’s HRT range features servo motors and Human Machine Interfaces. For manufacture, HRT is not only used for through and blind-hole nuts, but also for special shape or abnormal shape nuts. It keeps nuts and tapping spindle absolutely aimed at the centre while machine tapping. Based on strong mechanical design and precise forming, HRT machine life is extended and longer than traditional vertical tapping machines. Even running in the highest tapping speed condition, it keeps accurate tapping depth and won’t damage the blind nuts or taps. HRT also takes the pitch lead to keep the thread in high quality and match gauge inspection. The machine possesses CE qualification and is designed for safety considerations.
