Rosendahl installed a high-temp test line at its facility in Austria

Rosendahl Nextrom is always striving to improve its technology and processes, implementing some kind of line upgrades and conducting laboratory tests. Just recently, the company has designed a flexible insulation test line RD-I for processing high-performance plastics and various low-temperature materials.

The greatest advantage offered by this line is definitely the high flexibility of the system: with its 6 integrated extruders, the plant can process a wide variety of layer combinations, which allow the producer to process a large number of cable variations on one line, targeting a wide range of applications and products.

Possible layer combinations:
1–layer;
2-layer in co-extrusion;
3-layer with skin–foam–skin (with low-temp-materials);
2-layer in tandem extrusion;
3-layer with high-temp-materials in co-extrusion and tandem extrusion.

The final cable products are usually employed for oil pump cables, heating cables or for any purposes that require cables of a high-temperature class and with high chemical and mechanical stability. These types of cables can be commonly found in medical, aerospace, and military technology, as well as in the automotive industry.
The line can now be seen at Rosendahl’s facility in Pischelsdorf, Austria.
