Speed optimization for cross-linked PE insulation (PE-Xa) at a horizontal CV line

$15.00

Low margins and strong competition in todayโ€™s automotive cable production require highly efficient productivity and low amounts of scrap. Extrusion lines for cable insulation with peroxide crosslinking material are often considered slow running by principle. Based on process simulations and machinery component optimizing, a CV line concept for products with increased heat resistance has been trimmed to reach more than 1,000 m/min production speed with XLPE.
