om;d.c;dar;tan;s-s;avi;w/d;cho;jzaOur Triple Crosshead THX 35/75 MV ensures minimum material consumption and down time.
Our Triple Crosshead THX 35/75MV is used for a three-layer extrusion of MV XLPE and EPR cables. An additional flow distributor for EPR insulation is applied. The dimensioning of the flow channels ensures exact thickness for each layer.
The crosshead is equipped with Bi-Flow distributors. Bi-Flow technology in XLPE extrusion enables more accurate wall thicknesses and improved roundness of the cable. The head can be centred with zero screws prior to extrusion. Insulation and insulation screen layers can be adjusted independently. Centring can be repeated without touching the centring adjustment screws when the crosshead is dismantled. The connections between the crosshead and the extruders are fixed when the extruders are movable. This arrangement gives the operator optimum space for crosshead handling. The crosshead design allows a quick change of extrusion tools when the new cable dimensions are close to the ones presently used.
An independently controlled fluid circulation unit is used for the crosshead's temperature control. The heating capacity is at least 8 kW and the cooling capacity 5 kW at 120 °C.

Maillefer has added a Longitudinal Tape Applicator unit into its product portfolio recently. With this unit, customers have the means to apply a radial water blocking feature for various cable types. Water blocking barriers are usually aluminium, copper or plastic based water swellable tapes. The longitudinal tape is applied during the same process as final sheath. Read more

Legend Valve & Fitting, Inc. has been in the business of providing plumbing and hydronic systems for over 30 years. The bulk of their business came from sales of copper & brass components and systems. That’s until Legend decided to explore the potential for PEX and PERT products nearly ten years ago. “And what a great decision that was,” sums up Mike Boehk, General Manager of American Legend Manufacturing, based in Michigan, USA.
