A new Conform machine has been speci cally designed to extrude solid aluminium conductor (round or sector shaped) from 2 x 9.5mm diameter rods, providing a cost-e ective process to a product in demand. A new Conklad machine has been added to the range, enabling small and delicate cores to be sheathed from one aluminium feedstock rod instead of two. The machine will reduce capital and running costs for applications such as AS wire, OPGW, sheathed composite cores, reinforced aluminium wire and solid aluminium conductor (SAC). BWE continues to manufacture and supply a complete range of cold welders and dies for a fast and reliable solution to welding non-ferrous materials from ne wire to round rod. SheathEx, Conform and Conklad are registered trade marks of BWE Ltd.

Conform™ and Conklad™ are well- established continuous extrusion tech- nologies in the non-ferrous, cable and tube industries. Typical applications include copper and aluminium rectangular wire (magnet wire for transformers), solid aluminium conductor (SAC for cables) copper bus bar, trolley wire and other shaped conductors, AS wire, OPGW, CATV, round refrigeration tube, multiport or PFC tubes in di erent alloys. With seven lines currently in production, BWE’s SheathEx™ technology is fast becoming the new alternative to seamless aluminium sheathing of high voltage cables. The SheathEx process provides a continuous (no stop marks), reliable (no weld) and cost e ective (cheap materials, low energy, etc) method of sheathing high voltage power cables.

For nearly 50 years, Borealis has been a supplier of advanced energy and infrastructure plastics solutions for the pipe, wire and cable and capacitor lm industries. Together with Borouge, its joint venture with the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), Borealis provides services and products to customers around the world. Recently the companies announced a true step-change HVDC innovation based on the Borlink™ technology platform. This new grade, Borlink™ LS4258DCE, supported by a unique track record of 15 years’ proven operational excellence and industry leadership in extruded HVDC materials, will support the further integration of renewable energies into the grid and the establishment of more
