Cable Extrusion Line Supplier

A Cable Extrusion Line is a core production system in the wire and cable manufacturing industry, designed to apply insulation layers, inner sheaths, or outer jackets uniformly onto conductors or stranded cores. Within this category, all Cable Extrusion Line products share common objectives: precise material extrusion, stable dimensional control, continuous production, and compatibility with a wide range of cable structures and polymer materials.

In modern cable factories, the Cable Extrusion Line plays a decisive role in determining cable performance, safety compliance, and production efficiency. Whether used for power cables, data transmission cables, automotive cables, or new energy cables, a Cable Extrusion Line integrates extrusion, cooling, diameter control, traction, and take-up into a coordinated system. On this page, Cable Extrusion Line appears as a unified category representing solutions for insulation extrusion, sheath extrusion, and special material extrusion processes.

Jiangsu Newtopp Precision Machinery Co., Ltd. has been involved in the long-term development and manufacturing of Cable Extrusion Line systems since 2004. Based on extensive engineering experience in cable equipment, Newtopp integrates extrusion technology with upstream stranding and taping processes to meet the technical requirements of different cable types.

Common Functions and Core Performance of Cable Extrusion Line

All equipment within the Cable Extrusion Line category is designed around several shared functional and technical characteristics:

• Continuous and stable extrusion of thermoplastic or fluoropolymer materials

• Accurate control of insulation or sheath thickness

• Compatibility with single-core and multi-core cable structures

• High concentricity and smooth surface finish

• Adaptability to different conductor materials and diameters

From a system perspective, a Cable Extrusion Line ensures consistency from batch to batch, helping manufacturers meet international standards for electrical, mechanical, and environmental performance.

Working Principle of a Cable Extrusion Line

The working principle of a Cable Extrusion Line is based on thermoplastic material melting, pressurization, and shaping:

1. Material Feeding
   Plastic granules or powders (such as PVC, PE, XLPE, FEP, PTFE) are fed into the extruder through a hopper.

2. Melting and Plasticization
   Inside the extruder barrel, the rotating screw conveys, compresses, and melts the material using controlled temperature zones.

3. Extrusion Forming
   The molten material is pushed through a crosshead die, where it is evenly coated onto the conductor or cable core.

4. Cooling and Shaping
   The extruded cable passes through a cooling trough (water or vacuum type) to solidify the insulation or jacket.

5. Diameter Control and Haul-off
   Laser diameter measurement and traction units maintain dimensional stability.

6. Take-up or Coiling
   The finished cable is wound onto reels or drums for downstream processing.

This principle applies consistently across different types of Cable Extrusion Line systems, with variations depending on material and cable structure.
