MV CCV Line for Medium Voltage Cable
35kV Cable Extrusion Line, Triple Extrusion
This MV CCV line is typically designed for triple extrusion of XLPE insulated medium voltage cables for use at voltages ranging from 6kV to 35kV. By absorbing world's advanced catenary continuous vulcanization (CCV) technology, Baicheng Miracle has developed and manufactured this three-layer extrusion dry cure cross-linking line in-house, which was the first in the domestic market.
Our independently developed three-layer crosshead has obtained national patent, due to its great convenience and ease of alignment. Furthermore, the patented control technology in catenary line is characterized by high resistance against interference, ensuring an exceptional stability.
Medium voltage cables manufactured by this extrusion line are supplied in diverse sizes, diameters, lengths, layer thickness and other technical specifications. Depending on applications, the produced XLPE insulated power cables can be laid directly in the ground or buried in underground ducts, also suitable for submerged under water and working on overhead transmission systems.
- Triple extrusion process for XLPE insulated cables of voltages up to 35kV;
- Capable of manufacturing power cables used for a variety of applications;
- Computer control, touch screen operation, Siemens TIA Portal software, and high-resolution HMI interface;
- Triple crosshead provides great convenience and ease of alignment;
- Customer-specific modified versions are available, which deviate from the standard version in speed adjustment by control of CV tube temperature;
