Our Water Cooled Extruder NMR 80 is designed to process thermally sensitive polymers and elastomers at low temperatures. Typical materials are semiconductive, sheathing and insulation rubbers in stripe and granular form.
Extruder barrel
The barrel material is nitrided steel nitrided to the mimimum depth of 0.4 mm. The feed section has a smooth exchangeable bushing.
Hydraulic feeding roller for stripe rubber
The rubber stripe is fed with a roller. A hydraulic unit and a motor for the roller are included.
Power transmission
An AC or a DC motor is mounted with a flange onto the gearbox body. The motor is connected directly to the primary shaft of the gearbox with gear coupling.
Temperature control system
Each zone in the extruder barrel has separate temperature control. The barrel is heated by resistors moulded in cast aluminium heating elements. The pressurized, closed cooling water system includes cooling pipes and proportional valves. The cooling pipes are wound around the barrel. The cooling system is connected to the water station. Temperature in each zone is measured by thermocouples located tangentially close to the inside surface of the barrel. The thermocouple reacts quickly to changes in the process conditions providing fast feedback control for heating and cooling. To control heating and cooling each zone has a PID-controller. The feedbox has separate cooling water circulation regulated by an adjustable ball valve.
Pressure control
Melt pressure is measured at the barrel end. The maximum allowed pressure can be preset in line control. Overpressure activates an alarm. A pressure fuse at the barrel end acts as a mechanical guard, releasing the pressure if its nominal value is exceeded. Cables between the extruder and control cabinet are included in the delivery, except the optional motor cable. Screw cooling parts with a rotating connector and hoses are included in the delivery.

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
