Following extensive trials at BWE’s headquarters in Ashford, the Institute for Metal Forming (IMF) in Freiburg (Germany), invested in a Conform™ 315i machine for their ongoing research and development in light metals (i.e. magnesium). Dipl.-Ing. Christoph Kaden of the IMF explains: The new Conform™ 315i expands the IMF’s capabilities to produce long products of light […]
BWE has recently installed and commissioned a Conform™ 315i line in Brazil for Aluminium Refrigeration Tube. The Continuous Rotary Extrusion (CRE) machine converts a single aluminium rod (9.5mm or 12.0mm Ø) into finished round or multi-port tube, in various sizes to meet customer’s specifications. BWE’s patented Induction Heated Tooling System enables the machine to continuously […]
BWE’s SheathEx™ technology was first developed in 2005. The process is now the preferred method for ‘seamless’ aluminum sheathing of High Voltage Cables. Until now, all machines supplied globally have been for a corrugated aluminium sheath. This is a well proven and reliable process from 2 x 12.0mm diameter aluminium rods. BWE are now […]
A SheathEx machine uses two aluminium rods (12.0mm or 9.5mm ø) to form a ‘seamless’ aluminium sheath around HV and EHV cables.
This year proved to be very successful for BWE. As well as a Conform™ machine for refrigeration tube and a Conklad™ machine for specialised OPGW cables, BWE secured three further contracts for their unique SheathEx™ technology.
BWE is pleased to announce a new addition to the range of Conform™ and Conklad™ continuous extrusion machines. The new machine is designated Conklad 315 and is based on the highly successful and well-proven Conform 315 model.
