Our belt capstans ensure the stability of line speed and are highly reliable in long runs as well as with high pulling forces. The stable line speed minimizes cable diameter variations.
Belt Wrap Capstan BWC 800 is used in cable production lines to run the cable or the conductor at a desired line speed. An accurate speed is achieved with the AC motor, which is controlled by a frequency converter. The converter is located in the drive cabinet.
Pneumatic cylinders press the belt against the drive wheel, and the drive wheel provides the pulling force. The pressing force is adjusted from the belt wrap capstan control panel where the pressure gauges are located. The belt is opened and closed from the same 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
