SKET Double-Twist Bunching Machines were developed for the stranding of steel roping wires.
Robust machine construction, patented wire and strand guide systems and optimum treatment and stressing of the wire ensure a highly effective, efficient and reliable stranding machine sys-tem enabling the production of excellent quality strand at speeds up to 120 m/min.
SKET-Double-Twist Bunchers provide the optimum approach for the manufacture of
- elevator rope strand
- strand for crane ropes
- conveyor belt reinforcement strand
- strand and spiral ropes for the automobile industry
- strand for steel cord
- small diameter wire ropes
Dependet upon requirement and application, SKET-Double-Twist Bunchers are designed either as OUT-IN-machines type MSDN:
- great flexibility – the number and size of the wire pay-off bobbins is independent of the machine size
- used in conjuction with long length pay-off bobbins up to 1000 kg or wire coils, the system ensures high machine running efficiency
- reduced investment costs when compared with tubular stranding machines
or as IN-OUT machines type MSDC:
- very compact machine design and high speed operation
- strand quality can be observed and controlled from outside the working area
- very low energy and space requirement
