1. Working Principle of Core Wire Insulation Extrusion Line
The Core Wire Insulation Extrusion Line operates based on the principle of "melting-extrusion-forming-cooling-winding", and Newtopp has optimized each link with professional technology:
- Conductor Feeding: The cable conductor is stably fed through the pay-off device, and the tension control system independently developed by Newtopp ensures that the conductor remains straight and stress-free during operation, laying the foundation for insulation concentricity.
- Material Melting & Conveying: The extruder screw, designed and optimized by Newtopp’s R&D team, adopts high-wear-resistant materials and a special thread structure. It efficiently conveys, melts and plasticizes insulation materials (such as PE, PVC, Teflon) while avoiding material adhesion and screw chrome peeling.
- Precision Extrusion: The molten insulation material is extruded onto the conductor surface through a high-precision die. The SCR power control system and imported temperature control table adopted by the equipment realize ±1℃ temperature control precision, ensuring uniform material melting and stable extrusion pressure.
- Shaping & Winding: After extrusion, the insulated conductor is cooled by a water tank to solidify the insulation layer, then the intelligent wire diameter detection system (with automatic feedback and adjustment function) monitors the outer diameter in real time, and finally the integrated take-up device completes the winding.
Newtopp’s Core Wire Insulation Extrusion Line integrates the core technologies of its independent R&D center, such as intelligent control system and integrated structural design, which not only simplifies the operation process but also improves the consistency of product quality.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What types of conductors are suitable for the Core Wire Insulation Extrusion Line?
A: The equipment is compatible with copper conductors, aluminum conductors and copper-clad aluminum conductors with a diameter of 0.1mm-2.0mm, which can meet the insulation processing needs of automotive cables, new energy cables, data transmission cables and other products. Newtopp can also provide customized die solutions according to customer-specific conductor specifications, based on its rich experience in cable equipment customization.
Q2: Does the equipment support striped insulation extrusion? How to switch between single-layer and striped modes?
A: Yes, the Core Wire Insulation Extrusion Line supports both single-layer and single-layer+striping insulation extrusion. The switching between modes only requires replacing the corresponding die and adjusting the material feeding parameters through the dedicated touch screen. The equipment’s fast color change design ensures that the mode switching time is controlled within 30 minutes, reducing production downtime. This functional design is derived from Newtopp’s in-depth research on the production needs of multi-type cables.
Q3: How much space can the integrated structure save compared with traditional equipment?
A: The traditional core wire insulation extrusion system requires separate arrangement of accumulator, capstan, take-up, meter counter and other auxiliary devices, with an overall length of about 12-15M. Newtopp’s Core Wire Insulation Extrusion Line integrates all auxiliary functions into one structure, reducing the overall length by more than 5M (the actual length is 7-10M), which greatly saves the factory’s horizontal installation space. This structural optimization is one of the core technological achievements of Newtopp’s R&D center for space-saving equipment.
Q4: What is the service life of the screw in the extrusion line? How to ensure its durability?
A: The screw of the Core Wire Insulation Extrusion Line is made of high-wear-resistant alloy steel and undergoes special heat treatment process, with a service life of more than 30,000 working hours under normal use. Newtopp ensures the screw’s durability through strict raw material selection and precision machining in the finishing center. At the same time, we provide regular screw inspection and maintenance guidance to help customers extend its service life.
