Interested in developing your cable production process with no risks and no interruptions?

The world’s only vertical pilot curing line for medium, high and extra high voltage cables is available for accelerated trials in Maillefer’s R&D Center in Finland. You can rent the line for a day and get the possibility to test your ideas and pilot new technologies with two experienced experts.
Description

Several cable issues are only visible after the curing process. The Maillefer vertical pilot line is equipped with a full-scale extrusion group capable of producing model cables up to 750 kV at realistic line speeds. It also has a curing tube for model cable curing as part of the process as well as Clean Room. The line requires significantly less material for a trial run than a real production line.

The Vertical Pilot Line consists of the following equipment:

  • NXW60-20D
  • NXW80-20D
  • NXW200-24D
  • THX 70/150 HV
  • THX 70/150 LR
  • IWT
  • Curing tube
  • Smart Dosing system
  • Conductor heating up to 200 °C.

 

Deliverables

One-day Vertical Pilot Line use for idea testing and technology piloting including two Maillefer’s operators. The full-scale facilities to develop the cable production as a whole.

Recommendation and consultation for but not limited to:

  • Material testing
  • Extrusion optimization
  • CV process optimization
  • Model cable sample production (one per day).
