How to choose the suitable cable reel? | Conductor-stranding process


Reel with double-skin flanges
.
Cable conductor or wirerope consist of several single metal wires or strands of metal wire laid (twisted) into a helix. This structure is stable and flexible.
The conductor is normally made by stranding machine, for example twist buncher machine, Tubular Stranding Machine, Fork Stranding machine, Rigid Frame Stranding Machine, Cage Stranding machine.
In this article, we will choose the most suitable cable reels for the various stranding machines.



1.    The reels for twist buncher machine

The twist buncher machine can produce the LAN cable, flexible and rigid copper wire, power wire.
The plastic reels is common, but now more and more factories choose small steel flat steel reels or pressed steel reels. And for the large twist buncher machine, the take-up bobbins are industrial metal drums, which are more durable and cheaper.

 2.    The reels for tubular stranding machine

The tubular stranding machine can produce steel stranded wire, aluminium stranded wire, and control cable.
The curly edge and stiffeningribs reels are the most common pay-off reels for this machine. The pressed bobbins are made from steel plate, the flange is pressed to bars and machined to beaded edges, both of which increase the strength of the reels.
If you produce the steel stranded wire, the steel plate steel reels may be the best choice. The flanges are thick steel plate and the drum is thick-wall steel pipe. Which can stand the tight pressure of the steel wires.

3.    The reels for fork stranding machine

The fork stranding machine is very common machine in the cable and wire industry. It can produce Cu, Al wire, ACSR, compacting the sector conductors.
The double wall high speed steel reels and pressed steel reels are the most two kinds of process reels for this machine.
The double wall bobbins are drum-turned and dynamically balanced process reels. They run smoothly and very concentric in high rotation rate. These stranding reels are suitable for high speed stranding machine.

4.    The reels for rigid frame stranding machine

The rigid frame stranding machine is the most common stranding machine in cable and wire industry. It has much stronger structure and higher running speed. It is better to use dynamicallybalanced reels, such as, double-skin flange steel reel, which is heavy duty process reel with double-skin flanges and curly edge.
While, if the stranding machine is not high-speed machine, the single flange pressed steel reel can be used.

5.     The reels for cage stranding machine

Reel with single wall rimmed flange in pressed steel is the most commonly used for this type stranding machine.

For the record, this article is a brief introduction, you'd better to choose the cable reels according to actual situation. If you want to know any more, please access to our website: www.nriss.com
