Lead extrusion specialist HFSAB celebrates 60th anniversary in Düsseldorf
H. Folke Sandelin AB (HFSAB) from Motala, Sweden, will be co-exhibiting at wire 2018 (Düsseldorf, April 16-20) with Niehoff Maschinenfabrik GmbH & Co. KG of Germany.
The world's leading specialists in lead extrusion and cable stripping equipment is celebrating 60 years this year. HFSAB personnel will be available to discuss the latest lead extrusion controls and technology for saving lead during the extrusion process. Potentially saving hundreds of thousands of US$ each year. HFSAB is most famous as the specialist in lead extrusion equipment and know-how for trouble free lead sheathing of cables thus providing a perfect moisture barrier. For the last 60 years, the Lead Extruder from H. Folke Sandelin AB (HFSAB) has been designed, manufactured and assembled only in Sweden.
The Lead Extruder (in the right picture) is horizontal, floor standing, easy to install and maintain, fully automatic and extremely reliable with its state of the art control system, enabling continuous operation for weeks with little or no variation in temperatures, wall thickness or concentricity. The lead wall thickness can be kept to a minimum with corresponding savings in lead. A range of high quality and energy efficient Melting Pots are available for 10, 18, 35 and 60 tonne capacities.
Also available from HFSAB are cable stripping machines, the CRRS (in the image below) and Model SM-H. Both capable of removing individual layers without causing any damage to the subsequent layer below. As a result, enabling the outer jacket, Lead Sheath or triple layer XLPE to be re-applied and the cable repaired. The CRRS is used for the removal of outer sheathing materials such as HDPE with or without a bonded thin aluminium metallic sheath, PE, PVC or Lead. The CRRS has a cable diameter range from 30 to 180 mm and is capable of removing 220 kV XLPE insulation up to a thickness of 25 mm. The Model H has a smaller cable diameter range of 10 to 125 mm and can remove XLPE thicknesses up to 15 mm.
