"Cable Alliance Holding" (part of the Ural Mining and Metallurgical Company) took part in the 18th International Exhibition of Cable and Wire Products Cabex and the All-Russian Cable Congress. The events were held in Moscow on March 19-21, 2019.
More than 200 companies presented their developments at the exhibition. The KhKA stand was dedicated to the quality of cable products. The enterprises of the holding have introduced a unique quality control system for materials, semi-finished products and finished products. The modern laboratory base allows all types of tests to be carried out, which excludes the supply of cable products manufactured with deviations from the standards.
“The most important element of the control system is the study of the properties of the materials from which the insulation and sheath of cable products are made. Some manufacturers of polymer compositions change their composition without notifying the cable operators and deteriorating the quality characteristics of materials. Recipe changes cannot be detected by standard methods. A deep and at the same time sufficiently prompt research is necessary. At the plant in Kolchugino, we use thermal analysis methods that allow us to draw a conclusion about the stability of the formulation and the possibility of using polymers for cable production, "said Andrey Boev, Deputy Technical Director for Science of KhKA LLC.
At the company's stand to visitors offered to take a closer look at the work of the Elektrokabel laboratory by taking a virtual 3D tour of the enterprise. The first excursionist was the head of the Kolchuginsky district Maxim Barashenkov. And right at the stand, the participants and guests of the exhibition could see the testing of the conductive core of the cable.
KhKA also paid special attention to the upcoming anniversary of the Elektrokabel plant. Visitors could leave a wish for the enterprise, the authors of the most original ones received gifts from the hands of director Vladimir Ivanov.
The program of the cable congress included a discussion of the current state of the industry and development plans, the fight against counterfeiting, the connection between production and science, etc. ... UMMC and Cable Alliance Holding acted as the general partner of the event.
