Extrusion Lines for Silicone Cables: Innovative Solutions for High-Quality Production

Silicone cables play a crucial role in numerous modern applications. Whether in high-performance automotive systems or medical devices, they consistently deliver reliable performance even in demanding environments. Additionally, their exceptional properties make them well-suited for extreme temperature conditions. But what provides silicone cables with the flexibility necessary for these complex applications?

The Key Technologies: Shock Tunnels and Infrared Tunnels

Innovative technologies, such as shock tunnels and infrared tunnels, are employed to facilitate efficient and high-quality vulcanization of silicone cables.

Shock Tunnel
The shock tunnel facilitates non-contact vulcanization of silicone cables. Utilizing high-energy infrared radiation, it penetrates the material and induces rapid vulcanization through internal heating. This process effectively prevents imprints caused by deflection rollers in downstream machines, ensuring consistently high product quality.

Infrared tunnel for silicone cables
Infrared tunnels are characterized by their compact design and modular construction. They can be flexibly combined depending on the production speed. Deflection devices enable space-saving vulcanization. Reduced energy consumption, thanks to an optimized cooler design and high-quality thermal insulation, guarantees efficient operation. Short heat-up times ensure that the systems are quickly ready for use, and their simple operation and good accessibility contribute tooptimized, short set-up times.

Modular Design for Optimized Production Processes

The vulcanization of silicone cables relies on a modular design. The shock tunnel secures the silicone surface to prevent damage. Subsequently, the infrared curing tunnels ensure rapid and complete curing of the cable sheath. The selection of module numbers allows for customization based on various wire and cable diameters, as well as line speeds.

Infrared tunnels for silicone cables, as offered by companies like rubicon, are perfectly tailored for manufacturing silicone-coated cables. They are versatile and suitable for applications such as producing ceramic-insulated, flame-resistant fire protection cables. These tunnels feature a compact structure and flexible adjustments to match the required production speed, along with space-saving vulcanization facilitated by deflection devices for multiple cable passes.

Overall, extrusion lines for silicone cables provide an efficient production environment and high-quality solutions for demanding applications across various industries.

Versatile Applications of Silicone Cables

Silicone-coated cables, cores, and wires find widespread use across various industries worldwide:
