Drum Twister Laying Up Machine

Drum Twister is a specialized machine used in the manufacture of electrical wires and cables. Its primary function is to twist multiple individual conductors (like copper or aluminum wires) or insulated cores together to form a bundled cable with a specific lay length (pitch).

Drum Twister:

Description: This is a heavy-duty machine where the entire take-up drum (the large reel that collects the finished cable) rotates to provide the twisting motion.

Function: It is primarily used for cabling—the process of twisting large insulated cores together. It is the preferred equipment for manufacturing medium to high-voltage power cables and large-diameter control cables.

Applications:

Power Cables: LV (Low Voltage), MV (Medium Voltage), and HV (High Voltage) power transmission lines.

Control & Signal Cables: Multi-core cables used in industrial automation.

Overhead Conductors: AAC, AAAC, and ACSR conductors for power grids.

Steel Wire Ropes: Some variations are used for twisting steel strands for construction or maritime use.
