How to choose the suitable cable reel for wire-pulling process

Cable reels are widely used in the electric cables, fiber optic cables and metal wire products. From the wire-pulling process to the wire-stranding process, from the enameled wire production line to the EHV cable production line, you will find the various cable and wire reels. Normally the cable and wire reels are made from wood, plywood, plastic and steel. But how to choose the proper reels for your machine? This article attempts from the wire-pulling process latitude to discuss how to do this job well.

Rod breakdown machine is necessary for this process. Because of powerful pulling force  and high temperature of wire, the pulling tools for rod breakdown machine are normal very strong. The enhanced steel spools are the best choice. The enhanced steel spools are made from very thick steel plate and thick-walled seamless steel pipe. Often the spools equipped with roll edge, reinforced ring, reinforcing bars, or enhanced drum. The spools are very strong for wirepulling process. By the way, if the wire is high temperature, you should let the steel steels and spools manufactory to know that, which is very important. Click here for more information.

As the wire diameter becomes more and more small, you should choose the high-speed flat steel reels. For example metallic, enamelled and capillary metallic wires, you'd better choose the high-speed flat steel reels. The steel reels are turned all over, and dynamically balanced for speeds up to 50 m/s. The fully turned flange steel reels are normally according the DIN 46397 or the your requirements. You should provide the clamping device technical parameter, the manufactory will produce the reels for you. Click here for more information.

If your products are those metallic, enamelled and capillary metallic wires, now you should drawing them on the delivery reels. This reels normally are plastic reels, according to the loading capacity, the manufactory will provide you the most economic plastic reels.

If your products are steel wire like silicon cutting wire and tire-cord wire, you should choose the radial tires steel spools and cutting-wire steel spools. Clickhere for more information.
