Our automatic dual take-ups are known for high reel change-over reliability in any application at top line speeds. The dual take-ups are designed to work independently from line controls, therefore providing an easy adaptation and a fast plug & play installation to any line.
The Automatic Dual Take-up EKP 8 is designed to serve versatile applications in building, installation and special wire and cable extrusion lines.
Downtime and the need for maintenance are minimized through a careful choice of components and a reduced number of parts requiring maintenance.
To guarantee a fast start-up, the machine is thoroughly tested and optimized for customer reels. The control cabinet is fixed on the machine frame and pre-wired.
The wire tension is steplessly adjusted by a pneumatically loaded accumulator and it is set on the control panel.

When thinking about sustainability in the cable industry, Maillefer considers where we can have the most impact on carbon footprint. Our own actions as an equipment provider are clearly modest compared to the effects we can have on the cable manufacturing end. In cable production, the materials processed during the extrusion phase easily represents 95% of the carbon footprint generated. This is because cable making consumes much material. At Maillefer, we can have the biggest impact by helping our cable-making customers achieve their sustainability goals. Our shared goal is to make more with less. Read more
