Complete wire and cable extrusion line
01 / 08Wire & Cable Extrusion Equipment
Equipment scope — Cable production equipment
What the Line Does
A cable extrusion line applies insulation or jacketing polymer around a conductor or cable core in one continuous pass: pay-off releases the conductor under controlled tension, a preheater conditions it for adhesion, the extruder and crosshead coat it with melt, multi-stage cooling troughs set the wall, and a spark tester, diameter gauge, capstan and dual take-up close the loop with full-line speed synchronization.
Line Types We Configure
We match line configurations to the product: high-speed building wire and electronic wire lines, silicone rubber lines with hot-air vulcanizing ovens, high-temperature fluoropolymer lines, and physical foaming lines for coaxial and data cable. Each quotation covers the extruder size, crosshead, cooling length, electrical controls and acceptance criteria.
Material Pairing
Because LSZH supplies both the compounds and the machinery, line proposals are validated against the actual material — screw compression ratio, temperature profile and irradiation route are checked against the compound TDS before the line is quoted.

Complete line architecture
From conductor pay-off to finished reel
The line is configured as one synchronized production system. Cable structure, compound behavior, finished dimensions and output target determine the equipment sequence, screw and crosshead, cooling length, inspection units and reel handling.

Four process families, one proposal workflow
01
Building & Electronic Wire
PVC, PE, LSZH/HFFR and XLPE/XLPO insulation or jacketing lines configured around conductor range and finished diameter.
02
Automotive Wire
Fine-conductor and thin-wall production with concentricity, surface quality and inline inspection built into acceptance planning.
03
Silicone Rubber Cable
Dedicated extrusion, crosshead and hot-air vulcanizing sections matched to the silicone cable construction.
04
Fluoropolymer & Communication Cable
High-temperature FEP/ETFE lines and physical foaming lines configured for the intended communication-cable process.
Core equipment modules
Each stage is sized as part of one line
The proposal connects material preparation, process control and finished-reel handling to the same cable construction, speed target and acceptance criteria.
Module 02
Line Control & Synchronization
Drive, temperature and line-speed controls coordinate the extruder, cooling, inspection, haul-off and reel handling.
Module 03
Finished Reel Handling
Take-up torque, reel dimensions and changeover method are configured around the finished cable and output target.
