Rigid Stranders
AEI specialises in the design and manufacture of Rigid Stranding Machines suitable for the production of superior quality stranded conductor for low, medium and extra high voltage (EHV) power cables
- 1. Highly compacted conductor (by die / roll)
- 2. Prespiralled / straight sector shaped / Milliken conductor
- 3. Overhead conductor ACSR/AAAC/AAC
- 4. Pre-shaped wire (TW) overhead conductor
- 5. Copper screening of power cables
- 6. Steel wire / strip armouring
- 7. Laying-up of control cables
