Product Overview

At its core is a 90mm high-torque screw (25:1 L/D ratio) crafted from nitrided alloy steel, paired with a high-performance drive system that achieves output rates of up to 600 kg/h for PE, PVC, and TPE materials. A standout feature is its self-cleaning barrel design—equipped with helical grooves and reverse-threaded sections—that reduces resin buildup, cutting downtime between material changes by 40%. Its precision die head (crosshead or side-feed) ensures tight diameter control (±0.03mm), critical for meeting strict industry standards.

Applications

Power Cables:

Ideal for low-voltage (LV: 0.6/1kV) and medium-voltage (MV: 6–10kV) power cables, producing abrasion-resistant sheaths with tensile strength ≥12MPa and elongation at break ≥200% (per IEC 60811-1-1).

Telecom Cables:

Supports fiber optic cable sheathing (microducts, loose tubes), offering UV resistance (per ISO 4892-3) and moisture barrier properties to protect sensitive optical fibers.

Building Wires:

Meets demands of residential and commercial wiring (e.g., NYM, H07V-K cables), with flame-retardant sheaths compliant with UL 1581 (vertical flame test) and BS 6346 (fire performance).

Automotive Wires:

Produces oil-resistant sheaths (fluoropolymer or special PVC) for automotive harnesses, withstanding temperatures up to 125°C and resisting degradation from engine oils and coolants (per ISO 6722-1).

FAQ

Q: What is the maximum sheath thickness achievable?

A: The line can extrude sheaths up to 5mm thick, with uniform wall thickness across the cable circumference (variation ≤5%) thanks to the precision die design and pressure feedback control.

Q: How long does it take to clean the barrel between materials?

A: The self-cleaning barrel design—with helical grooves that scrape residual material—reduces cleaning time to 15–20 minutes, compared to 45–60 minutes for conventional lines.

Q: Does the line include quality control sensors?

A: Yes, it integrates laser diameter measurement (accuracy ±0.01mm) and online spark testing (3kV–15kV adjustable) to detect pinholes or thickness variations in real time, ensuring 100% quality inspection.

Q: Can it process recycled materials?

A: Yes, the high-torque screw design and enhanced mixing sections allow processing of post-industrial recycled plastics (up to 30% content) without compromising sheath quality, supporting sustainable manufacturing goals.
