Reducing energy the Sampsistemi way!

Increasing market globalisation and the arrival of countries with enormous potential on the wire and cable manufacturing scene – particularly China and India – have forced producers to rethink company processes in an attempt to boost productivity, rationalise and reposition manufacturing programmes, and lower fixed costs and overheads. Over recent years, Sampsistemi has focused on researching and developing new solutions and ways of reducing the amount of energy used in wire and cable manufacture, not only for first and multi- wire drawing lines, but also for high-speed bunching lines. improving existing technology is currently the main strategy pursued at Sampsistemi. In particular, recent innovations include limited-slip multi-motor rod breakdown machines for copper, aluminium and alloys of the same; dual-motor multi- wire drawing machines with up to 56- wire solutions; and twin double-twist bunchers, engineered with either single or dual motors. In terms of bettering consolidated products, Sampsistemi has recently optimised drawing line gear transmissions; developed new high-performance systems for its double-twist bunchers; and engineered innovative annealers, incorporating wire cooling and drying systems. Other significant innovations for heavy duty drawing applications include the development of new electronic control and gear transmission systems, with Developing continuously new products whilst
