Microduct

Are reel lengths too short? Do you want less joints?

Extend a micro-duct run by two or three times compared to a reel. When factored into the number of micro-ducts to be assembled into a bundle, that is a considerable reduction in joints.
Description
The barrel packing system is particularly suited for winding product at high speeds into octagon barrels. The target is to simplify the downstream operations of bundle assembly and jacketing. There is more length in each barrel, less changeovers and, as a result, less joints.


Deliverables
We help you integrate automatic barrel packing into your micro-duct production cell. A system is positioned at the end of each micro-duct extrusion line, in place of reel take-ups. Use of barrels also introduces changes in handling and payoff at the assembly and jacketing step.
