Three-layer Co-extrusion Dry Cross-linking Production Line
1. Description
For 10-132 kV polyethylene power cable compressed copper or aluminum stranded cable core: internal screen,
insulation, external screen, three-layer co-extrusion and cross-linking;
This line is used for making medium and high voltage power cable, and it consists of pay-off stands, take-up stands,
accumulator, caterpillars, extruders, a three-layer crosshead, tubes, a sag device and other single machines.
The dry chemical cross-linking method can produce 10-132KV PE cable, and the form of the distribution tube is catenary type.
The cross-linking tube adopts short circuit heating, nitrogen cross-linking and water cooling.
Internal and external shielding and insulation of the cable can be extruded and continuously produced at the same time.
In the cross-linking pipeline, the cable can undergo a chemical cross-linking reaction with a certain process line speed
(reaction time) at the protection of high temperature, high pressure and nitrogen. Cooling gradually in the pre-cooling
tube, cooling in the water cooling pipeline, and the final product are produced to ensure the cable has a good electrical
insulation property, anti-aging property and thermal mechanical property.
Using the MMI+PLC control system, each production process data can be online: storage, retrieval, modification, and intuitive
operation, simple, convenient.
