om;d.c;dar;tan;s-s;avi;w/d;cho;jzaOur accumulators are easily adapted to your production needs. The accumulation capacity and change over speed are adjusted to correspond to the line performance to maximize your productivity.
Our Accumulator MHE SBS 1200 has a horizontal beam on which the carriage moves. A set of (moving) wheels are fixed to the carriage. The "fixed" set of wheels with a pneumatic cylinder can move about 400 mm along the beam, and work as a dancer to keep the cable tension low. The cable loops between the two sets of wheels are supported by horizontal cable supports. The machine is equipped with a Unidrive AC drive only. The whole control system is built inside the drive.
The carriage is pulled by a chain from an AC motor which is controlled by a frequency converter to give constant torque, which results in approximately constant cable tension. Cable tension can be adjusted from a control panel which can be freely mounted for easy operation.
The accumulator is automated, and the carriage can be jogged when threading the cable. The accumulator uses either composite, aluminium or coated aluminium wheels which allow low tension in addition to great mechanical strength.
| Cable diameter, max. | 45 mm |
| Pulling force in the carriage, max. | 15 000 N |
Exact values depend on the assembly.

The performance of extruded high voltage XLPE insulated cables is improvable by reducing the degassing burden and realizing longer extrusion run times. Development towards those goals was rendered possible after years of close technical collaboration with material suppliers and cable manufacturers. Read more

Flexible vulcanized joints (FVJ) also known as flexible factory joints are typically used in extending delivery lengths of extruded subsea cables. Lengths of XLPE insulated cable core are often limited by the capacity of extrusion, degassing or basket lay-up. Factory joints overcome these constraints. Read more

Since two decades, Maillefer has been providing production systems for manufacturing multi-layer composite pipe with diameters ranging from 14 to 32 mm and from 16 to 63 mm. Today, our two model lines, the PCL32 and PCL63 that cover the two size ranges have evolved much. We are closer to 60 m/min, which first presented serious challenges to polymer and aluminum tape suppliers. Read more

Two X-ray gauges are used in CV lines to measure thicknesses, concentricity & diameter during production of MV, HV and EHV cables. Now, the second gauge at the cold end (after end seal) is orientable to give a synchronized visual of measurements taken by the 1st gauge at the hot end. Read more
