In medium- and high-voltage power cable manufacturing, the stranding and armoring stage determines mechanical strength, flexibility, and long-term reliability. The RLB Drum Twister with Steel Wire Armouring<\/strong><\/a> provides a complete, space-saving solution for laying up 2-, 3-, 4-, or 5-core cables (round, straight-sector, or pre-spiral sector conductors) while simultaneously applying steel wire armor.<\/p>\n

This universal rotating machine draws on proven designs used by leading global manufacturers for HV Milliken conductors, power cables, screening, and armoring operations. By integrating steel wire pay-off and pre-twist units directly into the line, it eliminates the need for a separate armoring machine, significantly reducing floor space, labor, and production steps while ensuring consistent quality that meets IEC, GB, ASTM, and international standards.<\/p>\n

Ideal for cable manufacturers supporting Saudi Vision 2030<\/strong> power transmission projects, NEOM, Aramco-related infrastructure, and broader GCC energy and industrial developments, this machine produces high-quality steel wire armored (SWA) cables ready for underground and direct-buried installations.<\/p>\n

Advanced Features & Process Advantages<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Flexible Back-Twist Control (0\u2013100%)<\/strong>: Freely adjustable via touchscreen for round or sector conductors, optimizing electrical performance and mechanical stress relief \u2014 critical for shaped conductors and long-term cable integrity.<\/li>\n
  • Integrated Steel Wire Armoring<\/strong>: Add centralized steel wire pay-off stands (bobbin or coil type) and pre-twist devices to produce fully armored cables in one operation. Supports up to 48\/60\/72\/84\/96 wires (typical 1.3\u20133.2 mm diameter) without extending line length.<\/li>\n
  • Precision Independent Drives<\/strong>: Each unit uses AC servo or induction motors with encoder feedback for high-precision synchronization. Rotating pay-off can operate independently, synchronized, or with individual speed control.<\/li>\n
  • Intelligent HMI + PLC Control<\/strong>: Store recipes, set lay length\/direction\/speed in real time, monitor production, and achieve automatic synchronization with take-up. Touchscreen interface simplifies operation and reduces training time.<\/li>\n
  • Optional Filling & Taping<\/strong>: Integrate up to 24 filling bobbins and semi-tangential taping heads (non-metallic or copper tape) for complete multi-layer construction.<\/li>\n
  • Heavy-Duty Configuration<\/strong>: Rotating caterpillar or large drum take-up handles finished cables up to \u03a6130 mm+ and heavy reels (up to 25\u201330 tons on larger models). Hydraulic lifting platforms ensure safe, efficient drum handling.<\/li>\n
  • Compact Line Design<\/strong>: Centralized steel wire pay-off positioned beside the main unit shortens overall production line length and reduces factory investment.<\/li>\n
  • Versatility<\/strong>: Suitable for LV\/MV\/HV power cables, Milliken segmental conductors (5\u20137 cores), screening operations, and even taping mode with stationary pay-off\/take-up for very large cables.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    These features deliver consistent lay length, tight armor adhesion, excellent bending performance, and reduced production costs \u2014 key advantages over traditional separate stranding and armoring lines.<\/p>\n
