Steel fibre production machine from Eurolls The new machine guarantees a high and continuous production of steel fibre and, with the appropriate tools, can be preset for the production of any type, shape and dimension.

A feature of this machine is the introduction of a new concept that combines simplicity of operation with high performance and production. Another innovation is the tolerance range of the inlet wire material: it is so broad that it permits the processing of wire rejected from other processes, into a quality final steel fibre product with a high market value.

Multiwire stranding – without a break

COS 1200-37 multi-wire concentric stranding line from Pourtier – Gauder Group is designed to produce round or sectoral compacted strands of 7, 19, 37 or 61 copper (dia. 1.5 – 3mm) or aluminium (dia. 2 – 3.5mm) wires.

The concentric construction and multi-wire process permit speeds up to 500rpm (com- pared to 200rpm with a traditional rigid stranding line) while keeping a short line length. Each bobbin is equipped with an individual driven tension control for the prevention of wire breakage, optimisation of the final section and, therefore, resistance of the cable.

A 37-wire line is composed of 6 independent modules of two reels of three wires each, individually motorised by AC motors. Filling of the reels is made from basket pay-offs with an individual capstan to pull the cable and to equalise the tension of each wire, reaching the best winding quality. Higher speed, smaller space, safer production, this flexible line also allows reduction of copper remainders, all the parameters being adjustable from the Colour Touch Screen Control Panel for a better process control.
