ATE Stand: 11C77

AlphaGary Stand: 11G22

ATE has recently presented two new induction heating systems that complete the range of continuous heating for parallel treatment of wires. These new systems are called IMW and CMW. The main feature of IMW system is the simultaneous heating of each wire, also when they have a different diameter, by means of a dedicated inductor that is fed by the related frequency converter.

AlphaGary will present the latest grades to be added to the extensive range of compounds for the global wire and cable manufacturing industry. These include: • Megolon™ – halogen free, low smoke, fire retardant (HFFR, LSOH) compounds • Low die drool compounds for high speed extrusion • Tear resistant compounds for demanding environments such as found in the Middle East • Optical fibre tight buffer compounds • Oil resistant compounds having high flexibility • Compounds that have high char formation when burned in demanding fire tests. • RoHS and REACH compliant grades Smokeguard ® – low smoke, highly fire retardant PVC compounds with good char integrity • Insulation and jacket candidate for ‘Plenum’ rated cables • US “National Electrical Code ® ”: CMP (Cat 5e; Cat 6+), OFNP, CL2P, CL3P, FPLP, etc • For cables requiring the higher Euro- classification, defined by the CPD • RoHS compliant and lead free versions • Olefin fillers/separators required ple- num applications • Good transmission properties and processability GW Series – PVC compounds • Flame retardant grades for require- ments for cables listed from general purpose to riser • Low temperature grades • Excellent transmission properties for communications cable applications. Garaflex ® – thermoplastic elastomers • Flexible, flame retardant, low temper- ature, 105 degree rated with UV resistant compounds. • Vinyl and olefin based compounds for a variety of applications.

❍ A new system from ATE

The CMW system is destined to a group of wires heated by means of a single induc- tor fed by only one frequency converter. The numerous advantages of these new systems make them preferable to the traditional ones in terms of efficiency, consumption, quality and compactness. Some application examples may be the annealing, stress relieving, brass-diffusion, pre-heating and, in any case, integrated in other industrial processes requested by the customer. The main types of ATE induction heating systems are: • Medium and high frequency converters (unit power to over 2,000 kW, frequency from 0.5 to 150kHz) • Induction heat treatment plants of wires, bars, tubes and strips îî
