Coperion says its ZSK twin screw extruder is a flexible system for the production of different cable compounds Coping with cable compounds
Coperion says its ZSK twin screw extruder represents a flexible and economical system for the production of different cable compounds, with high throughput rates, gentle product handling, and high energy efficiency being just three advantages of the series. In addition, the modular design of the process section allows for individual configuration for the varying
requirements of different types of cables. Beside the process section, all peripheral equipment can be adjusted according to the process needs giving manufacturers maximum flexibility. Homogeneity of the cable com- pounds is considered vital when producing high quality products. The ZSK extruder is suited for this task as the superior mixing properties
turbine systems, solar/photovoltaic systems, and EV charging cables,” Chen said. “Materials for these applications must withstand tough outdoor environments and water immersion safety testing protocol, whilst maintaining flexibility and perfor- mance with a thinner jacketing wall. We have expanded our product portfolio, production capacity, and technical capabilities, to provide solutions to customer investing in infrastructure expansion. Our portfolio includes semi-conductive materials for power cables, halogen-free e-beam curable, as well as moisture curable crosslinking options for solar and other cables used in renew- able energy platforms.” In energy distribution, renewable energies are
currently mapping out new grid systems linking various solar plants and windmills to distribution networks. To address this need, Benvic has launched two new additions to its Linkflex HF series, which contain halogen free, flame retarded, and low smoke zero halogen properties. Based on a polyolefin matrix, the Linkflex HF series complies with IEC60754-2 standard for low acidity emissions and behaviour during fire exposure has been optimised to allow cables to meet EN 50575 standard classes from Eca up to B2ca. The new grades, HFS109 and HSF110, are

effectively avoid agglomerations ensuring excellent dispersion of ingredients. Together with the high accuracy Coperion K-Tron feeders and reliable peripheral equipment Coperion offers complete systems that give manufacturers the means to produce high quality cables with the appropriate characteristics in at a good price/performance ratio.
intended to cover applications from low to high voltage, as well as provide sheathing with excellent fire performance. The photovoltaic panel market is currently booming, and its connection to various distribution networks calls for a specific kind of cable. Inside the Linfkex HF range, a new crosslinked version HFX003 addresses this specific need with improved material resistance, and to help improve financial viability, Benvic says it is innovating a new generation of compounds that will avoid the bedding operation and lower costs.
