Quality protection: "Sibkabel" will increase production volumes of products for oil
JSC "Sibkabel" (included in the "holding Cable Alliance", uniting cable assets UMMC) has upgraded extrusion line in plant # 3. Workers replaced the shaping tool is designed to isolate oil-submersible cable.
New extruder head worth more than 3 million roubles has improved performance. Due to its installation speed of the extruder was almost twice that of the previous (17 meters per minute). Accordingly, the increased line speed of production volumes and oil-submersible cables with PTFE insulation (30%).
Also in the modern design element increased throughput. Due to the greater diameter of up to 16 mm2 (earlier to 11мм2) an opportunity to issue a broader range of sections. Accordingly, to expand the range of products for the oil industry.
"Upgraded the line processes fluoropolymers, which is made of insulation of cables and wires. They are known for their exceptional resistance to chemicals and corrosion. Also these materials can withstand the high temperature up to 230 degrees. These properties are particularly relevant for cables operating at great depths in difficult conditions", - said the head of the technical Bureau, shop No. 3 Victor Gutnik.
Fluoropolymers, in particular, are used in the production of design oil-submersible cable brand KIFBP-230. Its design consists of three conductors and two-layer fluoropolymer insulation. It is the insulation protects the product from corrosive well fluid and high temperatures. From mechanical damage the cable protected by a sheath of galvanized steel strip.
"the month of shop №3 produces more than 100 km of cable with fluoropolymer insulation. Modernization extrusion lines will enable the company to keep their finger on the pulse, to quickly adapt to changing conditions. High quality oil-submersible cable, among other things, provides the stability of commodity companies in the current economic environment," said Director of JSC "Sibkabel" Alexey Join.
