Chelles Cedex/FR (Pourtier) – Gauder Group announces that it has been granted an order for a project for ABB HV cables in Sweden. Having manufactured cables for over 120 years, ABB is one of the world’s most experienced companies with the longest tradition in the high voltage field, especially in underground XLPE and HVDC submarine cables.
The challenge consists in one stranding line and one screening line to manufacture very large diameter power cables. The 128 wires rigid cage stranding line is composed of five cages (12+18+24+30+36) and is specially designed for the production of round conductors with profiled wire, as well as prespiralled segmental conductors for high voltage and extra high voltage cables. This innovative performance can be achieved thanks to the development of a new “jumbo” prespiralling and compacting head with four pairs of rollers 300mm diameter as well as a huge double wheel capstan 4m diameter with 40 tons pulling force.
Also, as ABB was looking for a safe loading system, Pourtier has developed an ingenious side automatic robot system which enables to handle a complete rack without loading / unloading reels one by one.
The second part of this impressive project is a rigid cage screening line 84 wires made of two cages of 42 reels (six rows of seven reels). The line is equipped with two fully automatic loading trucks to load the 630mm in the carriage from their rack.
This unique project is a milestone for the Gauder Group as it strengthens the leading position of Pourtier in rotating machines for HV cables. This is the fruit of a long collaboration, already started some 15 years ago when ABB bought a first Pourtier Milliken drum twister line, which allows both partners to become a reference in their own fields, in the past and in the future.
