– SheathEX – High Voltage Power Cable Sheathing Line

– 2 x 12mm Aluminium Feedstock Rods are unwound, straightened and cleaned before being fed into the SheathEX Machine

– The Cable Core (126.3mm diameter in this case) is hauled from a Drum Pay-Off and fed into the SheathEX Machine

– The Cable Core is protected by a Water-Cooled Core Feed Tube that passes through the hot zone

– The extruded Seamless Tube (in this case 151.2×2.8mm) is cooled rapidly before it is possible for it to come into contact with the Cable Core

– Flash (aluminium leakage) is low, typically 2-5%

– Extrusion Tension is maintained by a Caterpillar Hauler and the Tube is corrugated in-line before winding the finished cable onto a Drum Take-Up
