Finished power cables by merging Power SZ with sheathing

helps to get a long product length on bigger take-up reels. The advantage of non-rotating machinery allows a very safe working area for the operators and reduces the maintenance efforts. A perfect combination for optimised manufacturing conditions: low investment and reduced operating costs and efficient production of power cables.

heavy mass is in rotation, the working principle is the same as of conventional helical stranding systems. The pay-offs and take-ups stands in the line are stationary reelers that need no special foundation. The non-rotating reeler also helps to improve the line efficiency due to a very fast and simple reel loading and unloading cycle. As the reel does not need to be transferred between the stranding and the sheathing process, time and space saving is guaranteed. There is also no limitation for the size of take-up that

Getting from single insulated conductors to a finished power cable offers a lot of advantages for the manufacturer. The development of technologies and the improvement processes led to the merger of the Power SZ stranding and the sheathing process in one line. The equipment is the solution for low voltage cable up to 1kV with a cross section up to 240mm² of each single conductor. The perfect result of the finished power cable can be observed on the take-up reel.

Thanks to the SZ technology, where no

P P SV 410 D type NPS double spooler

which use a patented wire-laying algorithm and collapsible multi-way ABS plastic spools made in various sizes which offer a secure, stable and tangle free package both when full or partially empty and enable highest cable pay-off speeds into downstream processes. The SV 410 D type double spooler is designed for the non-stop production of NPS packages and when installed behind an extrusion line is capable of spooling automotive primary cable at a speed of up to 1,500m/min (4,920fpm). of accommodating all NPS 400 multi-way spools with a traverse width of 100 to 400mm without the need of exchanging pintles or spool take-up parts, reducing set-up and changeover times.

The wire and cable machinery developed by Maschinenfabrik Niehoff covers nearly all operations that are necessary for the production of non-ferrous wires and special cables. The product range includes pay-off and take-up systems like the WF type barrel coilers and TW static coilers for non-stop operation inline with wire production lines, the Bongard STN coilers for inline operation behind a galvanic plant, suitable for tin, silver and nickel plated copper wires, and the compact S type spoolers which are suitable as take-up systems for multi-wire drawing lines. Another example is the Niehoff Package System (NPS), an efficient, safe and economical handling system for primary automotive cables as well as bunched wires, strands, conductors and cables.

It comprises the SV type spoolers
