Queins & Co. GmbH, Germany, have upgraded its FLR type rigid strander, one of the most versatile and sophisticated rigid stranders on the market. These machines are designed to produce copper and aluminium as well as aluminium alloy conductors. They can be equipped with compacting heads to manufacture round conductors, straight and pre-twisted sector conductors. Newly designed pneumatically actuated calliper brakes per bobbin, for constant tension from full to empty bobbins, also for thin wire diameters, noiseless operation and maintenance free. With the practical semi automatic side loading system (alternatively also ‘top-loading’) the loading procedure guarantees the minimum possible down time of the line. The new 2500mm double disc capstan reaches 200kN pulling force and the renewed design of the portal type pay-off and take-up handle reels with a weight of up to 20 tons and 2500mm. Heavier designs are available on request. Preformers can be installed behind the cages for easier operation with aluminium alloy wires. Finally such machine can be laid out to armour with steel in one step of up to 61 armouring wires, working in tandem and with preformer. Queins will exhibit at the wire Southeast Asia a number of large sized pictures of delivered machines to the rope and cable industry. Further information to the range of different delivered lines for special applications such as power transmission, CTC conductors, steel rope applications and other fields can be given during the exhibition.
