Our Lay-plate Strander SZB is designed for building wire SZ-stranding. It consists of three parts, a stranding entry capstan, an SZ-strander and a sranding blocking caterpillar.
Building wire SZ strander SZB is an integrated stranding solution consisting of tension lowering capstan, lay-plate strander and torsion blocking capstan.
The capstan minimizes the wire tension and equalizes tension variations prior to stranding. The SZ stranding process is based on rotating lay plates. Each wire is guided trough lay-plates on its own route.
The wires are stranded in an assembling die, which ensures the order of the wires. The stranding point is after the stranding head and it is adjusted depending on the wire. Torsion blocking caterpillar is fixed on linear bearings for longitudinal movement to adjust the distance to the stranding point. The design of the stranding head and the assembling die ensure symmetric and precise stranding of the cable.
The SZB strander does not limit the speed of the filling/sheathing lines, and the untwisted reversal points are very short.
The caterpillar, speed controlled with a tension feedback, prevents strands opening.
The SZB is movable on rails, giving possibility to add equipments, like talcum device.
The motor controllers are located in a cabinet.

Over the past 30 years, Maillefer has delivered and started hundreds of catenary continuous vulcanization (CCV) lines globally. We can confirm that successful cable quality needs a perfect interaction between all the various components in a CCV line. To that end, Maillefer and Sikora GmbH, invented a means for securing the cable quality for both past delivered CCV lines and those to be delivered in the future. They named the device Siccon 600.

The productivity of an optical cable manufacturing line can be significantly improved by increasing line speed. The buffering process has introduced entirely new limits for these speeds, making the start-up procedure increasingly important. A rapid ramp-up to production speed may generate substantial scrap before the process stabilizes. Read more
