Extrusion lines for automotive cables

With years of experience in industrial automation, Elav designs and manufactures extrusion lines for insulating automotive electrical cables, combining engineering expertise, advanced technologies, and a focus on production efficiency.

Automotive cables are designed to ensure reliability and durability in harsh environments, such as engine compartments, onboard electrical systems, and control circuits in light, commercial, and industrial vehicles. They must withstand vibrations, extreme temperatures, oils, chemicals, and other stresses typical of vehicle applications.

Elav lines offer high-speed, versatile, and fully customizable configurations. They can process a wide range of thermoplastic materials, including PVC, PE, XLPE, XLPE Sioplas, XLPE Monosil with liquid silane, HFFR, and TPEE, ensuring continuous production, low maintenance, and minimal scrap. Production speeds can reach up to 1,500 m/min.

The extrusion lines for automotive electrical cables are comprised of:

• Pay-offs: with single or double cone (SDF), cantilever (SCT)
• Dosing system: volumetric or gravimetric, with an option for high-precision liquid silane injection (patented Si-Jet system)
• Cooling troughs: straight, single or multistep modules, with heated and cooled sections
• Take-ups: double automatic take-ups (ADA series) to maximize operational continuity

Configuration types

• Coex 2: insulation extruder + striping extruder
• Coex 3: extruders for insulation and skin/striping, with fast color change
• Coex 4: advanced system with rapid color change, extruders for insulation and skin/striping

All configurations can integrate the X-Flow system for a rapid color change without stopping the line, minimizing scrap and optimizing productivity.
