Product Overview

Its 150mm barrier-type screw with 30:1 long generates high melt pressure (up to 200 bar) for processing PE, PVC, and XLPE materials at output rates of up to 800 kg/h. A standout feature is its predictive maintenance system, which uses vibration sensors and AI analytics to forecast component wear (e.g., screw barrel, drive bearings), reducing unplanned downtime by 30%. The smart die head with automatic centering adjusts for cable diameter variations (±0.02mm) in real time, ensuring compliance with IEC 60502 (power cables) and ANSI C119.4 (utility cables).

Applications

Power Cables:

Produces abrasion-resistant PE sheaths for medium-voltage (10–35kV) and high-voltage (110–220kV) power cables, with impact resistance (Izod ≥20 kJ/m2) and UV stability (≥3,000 hours QUV exposure) for underground and aerial installations.

Telecom Cables:

Supports fiber optic cable sheathing with moisture barrier layers (e.g., aluminum-laminated PE), compliant with ITU-T G.652 (optical performance) and IEC 60794 (environmental testing: -40°C to 70°C).

Industrial Cables:

Processes oil-resistant TPE sheaths for machinery cables (e.g., robot arm cables), withstanding mineral oil immersion (72 hours at 100°C) and chemical exposure per ISO 6722-3.

Renewable Energy:

Manufactures weatherproof sheaths for solar panel DC cables (TüV 2PfG 1169) and wind turbine interconnection cables (IEC 61400-23), resisting ozone, UV, and temperature extremes (-40°C to 90°C).

FAQ

Q: What is the maximum sheath thickness achievable with this line?

A: With the optional thick-layer die, it extrudes sheaths up to 8mm thick (e.g., for armored power cables) with uniform wall distribution.

Q: How does the AI system optimize energy consumption?

A: The AI algorithm adjusts heating zone temperatures and motor speeds based on material flow and ambient conditions, reducing energy usage by 15–20% compared to conventional lines.

Q: What is the cleaning process for the die head?

A: The self-cleaning die head uses pneumatic purging with dedicated cleaning compounds, reducing residue removal time to 10 minutes between production runs.

Q: Can it produce multi-layer sheaths with different material properties?

A: Yes, it supports dual-layer co-extrusion (e.g., PE core for flexibility + PVC outer layer for flame resistance) with precise layer ratio control (10–90%).
