"This kind of products is manufactured by IND. about 40 years. We produce cable products for the shipbuilding and offshore drilling platforms. It should be noted that if earlier the "trendsetters" in this segment were the Dutch, the Norwegians, the Germans, today cable products HCA on their behalf is not inferior to foreign analogues, and in some characteristics, even surpasses. In 2020, the volume of orders for this product has doubled compared to the previous year", - said the Deputy head of the Department for special projects of HCA on their behalf Fedor Gusakov.
In connection with the increased demand over the next two to three years it is planned to expand the capacity of plant No. 2 IND., which manufactures marine cables. Its performance increased significantly in 2019, after the installation of high-tech lines of continuous vulcanization, allowing both to apply the insulation and shell. Under the new investment program also considered the possibility to install another same line and upgrading several production sites. In the first place, will be improved system of managing lines.
At this point in the product line of "Electrocable" there are about 6 thousands of label sizes of marine cables. The design and specifications of these products are constantly improved: modern analogues weigh less, carry higher current loads, have a high electrical insulation resistance and high tensile strength, easier to use. They are resistant to the effects of salt mist, sea water, lubricating oil, diesel fuel, and resistance to vibration and shock nagruzkam.
"Production of marine cables is one of the main and very serious areas of "Electrocable". These products with advanced fire protection with insulation made of cross-linked polyethylene or ethylene propylene rubber. They are produced in full compliance with the requirements of Russian Maritime and River registers. In addition, the production of COPIES fully meet international standards in design, technical characteristics, methods of control and performance properties. Work is continuing on developing new designs of cables with the use of innovative materials and improved performance," - said Director of JSC "COPIES" Raul Toimatov.
