Cable Extrusion Process: Materials, Equipment and Quality Control
The cable extrusion process is a manufacturing method used to apply insulation, coating, sheathing, or jacketing materials around conductors, wire cores, or cable cores through a heated extrusion system. It is one of the most important processes in wire and cable manufacturing because it directly affects cable diameter, insulation thickness, concentricity, surface quality, mechanical protection, electrical performance, and production efficiency. In a typical wire and cable extrusion process, polymer material is fed into an extruder, heated and plasticized, pushed through
