During the production of medium voltage (MV) and high voltage (HV) XLPE insulated power cables the melt temperature plays a critical role. It can affect the quality of the product as well as the productivity of the extrusion process. With polyethylene materials organic peroxides are used for cross-linking. Here, the melt temperature is subject to tight tolerances, since proper melting and homogeneity set the lower limit while avoiding premature cross-linking sets the upper one.
