HFFR & LSOH Extrusion: market-benchmark performance by MFL Group
Safety requirements in the cable industry are continuously evolving, driven by stricter regulations and the increasing adoption of halogen-free compounds across global markets. In particular, cable manufacturers are required to meet increasingly demanding standards related to fire behaviour and CPR compliance, while maintaining high levels of productivity and product consistency.
Whereas traditional fire-resistant cable production could once rely on standard machinery, modern HFFR and LSOH materials require a new generation of extrusion lines capable of extremely precise process control, stable melt conditions, and consistent high-speed operation. Material sensitivity and performance expectations make process stability a key factor in achieving reliable output.
To address these challenges, MFL Group has developed a dedicated range of extrusion solutions in collaboration with leading global polymer manufacturers. The result is a technology designed to ensure high process stability, accurate melt temperature control, and consistent performance even with the most advanced halogen-free compounds.
The company’s systems are engineered to deliver up to +40% higher throughput compared to leading market benchmarks (EXB 120/25, 60 RPM), while maintaining stable quality and full compliance with CPR requirements. Fast compound changeovers without barrel disassembly, combined with stable processing conditions, help reduce downtime and improve operational efficiency.
A patented extruder design, precise thermal management, and long-term mechanical reliability ensure repeatable results and prevent material degradation even at high production speeds, making the system suitable for demanding industrial environments.
