Advanced Cable Stranding Solution: Exploring the Drum Twister

In modern cable manufacturing, efficiency and flexibility are key to meeting the growing demand for large-section and long-length power cables. The Drum Twister has emerged as an advanced solution, specifically designed for stranding high-capacity cables and Milliken conductors with exceptional performance.

The Drum Twister supports multiple production processes, including steel wire armoring, steel tape armoring, and copper shielding. With a production speed typically exceeding 30 m/min, it significantly enhances output compared to conventional stranding equipment. One of its standout features is the ability of pay-off bobbins to rotate synchronously with the take-up system or remain stationary, enabling both back-twist and non-back-twist operations. Additionally, the large take-up bobbin—up to 4000 mm—allows for longer production runs and expanded manufacturing capabilities.

From a technical perspective, the machine adopts a sub-motor driving system, ensuring high precision, balanced rotation, and strong structural performance. The integrated PLC and touchscreen interface enable real-time monitoring and adjustment of process parameters, while also providing fault detection and diagnostics to reduce downtime.

Furthermore, the equipment can be customized with various auxiliary devices such as wrapping units, armoring systems, and filling mechanisms to meet diverse production requirements. Overall, this machine represents a reliable and efficient choice for high-end cable production.
