WIRE PREHEATING
ProTHERMICTM PH300-TW Series Wire Preheater
Особенности
- For induction preheating of solid and stranded copper, copper-clad and aluminium wires up to 200°C (300°C for High Temperature (-HT) models) prior to insulation extrusion.
- Twin wire model accepts two wires in parallel for simultaneous heating (pulleys for each wire are independently free to rotate).
- Improve insulation-to-wire adhesion and stripping characteristics, especially at high line speeds.
- Preheats solid wires up to 3mm in diameter and stranded wires up to 3.2mm in diameter.
- Housed in rugged enclosures to survive harsh industrial environments.
- Controlled using a user-friendly, menu-based LCD interface display unit.
- Available with industry-standard communications interfaces fitted either as standard or as an option.
- Available in different power output models suitable for all budgets and line speeds.
- Available in 200, 400 and 480 VAC 3-phase mains supply voltage models.

ProTHERMICTM PH300-TW Series Wire Preheater
Operating principle
The wire pair is looped around the two pulleys and through the core of the transformer. The wire entry/exit pulley is electrically conducting and thus short-circuits the wire loop to form a single secondary turn for the transformer. Electrical power delivered to the transformer primary is transformed in to a large induced current in the wire which causes rapid and concentrated heating of the wire.
Technology
The shorting pulley rim is manufactured from a special copper alloy that has high electrical conductivity and good wear resistance.
The insulating pulley is manufactured from resin bonded fabric which has good wear resistance and low thermal conductivity to minimise wire-to-pulley heat loss.
The pulleys are mounted on low friction, double row ball bearings to minimise the drag force (tension increase) on the wire as it passes through the preheater. Both pulleys are precision machined to ensure that uniform tension is applied to the wire, thus reducing SRL problems in data and telecommunications cable applications.
The preheater is powered from a 3-phase mains input, which is converted to a high-frequency supply by a specially designed inverter, the output of which is automatically adjusted to deliver the necessary power to maintain the required “Preset Temperature” regardless of wire size or production speed.
The preheater is fully protected against mains supply phase loss or brownouts.
