PAKISTAN CABLES LAUNCHES THE HIGHEST VOLTAGE (69 KV) CCV line for MV cables in Pakistan

Pakistan Cables launched the nation’s first highest voltage (69KV) CCV line for Medium Voltage (MV) cables through world class German technology. As the pioneer in the wires and cables industry in Pakistan, the company has a legacy of breaking barriers. In addition, Pakistan Cables has also set up a High Voltage Testing (HVT) facility at Nooriabad, which enables testing of cables at higher voltage grades.
“This is a significant milestone for the Company during its 70th year anniversary. It reflects 70 years of uncompromised dedication and setting Industry benchmarks. I am thrilled at the outcome and proud of our team, who drove the project with a lot of hard work.”, said Fahd K. Chinoy, Chief Executive Officer Pakistan Cables Ltd.
To ensure the highest quality and efficiency for Medium Voltage (MV) Cables, Pakistan Cables brings cutting edge German technology in the form of the TROESTER® MV CCV Line for the first time in Pakistan. Proven engineering excellence, the TROESTER® CCV line, is an outcome of decades of dedication in the Extrusion industry; a befitting choice for Pakistan Cables as an industry pioneer in Pakistan. The world renowned TROESTER® CCV line set up exclusively at the new Pakistan Cables Nooriabad factory is focused on manufacturing highly efficient product range of High & Medium Voltage cables possible.
The Company’s world class and highly integrated manufacturing facility at Nooriabad, boasts various sophisticated cable manufacturing technologies with rigorous quality control and assurance facilities reflected in its trusted range of product solutions, both at home and abroad.
Key Features of the new CCV line for MV Cables:
• Highest capability of 69 KV in Pakistan.
• Fast product changes matched with high production speed ensure timeliness.
• Efficient sag control system for superior accuracy.
• Fully automatic compound handling system ensuring a contamination free line, an absolute essential for superior quality product.
• In line X-ray machine for checking concentricity, thickness, ovality and overall diameter of all three layers of insulation.
• Highly skilled engineers incorporate innovative developments and experience directly in the machine components like extruders, extruder heads, CCV tubes, cable machinery and line controls.
In-line Dry Curing Process
Pakistan Cables employs in-line drying curing for all its CCV lines along with the state-of-the-art triple cross head extrusion where the conductor screen, Insulation and Insulation Screen are extruded simultaneously by means of a Triple Cross Head which has following advantages:
• Reduces micro voids and moisture content in insulation and ensures enhanced and stable breakdown strength and uniform insulation structure.
• Ensures extremely accurate layer thickness
• Ensures high purity in the frontier limit between the semi conductive layers and the insulation.
• Provides optimal fusion of the individual layers without contamination.
• Ensures a firm bond and smooth interface between each layer thus improving electrical properties.
• Prevents unforeseen damage to the conductor or insulation screen during manufacturing process.
Quality Control
• Very strict quality control during processing using SIKORA-X-RAY unit for thickness measurement in continuous mode for all extruder layers.
• Recording of trends enabled after every two seconds.
• The unit continuously scans 360o geometry of the cable and displays maximum, minimum and eccentricity of all three layers separately.
Quality Assurance
The Company’s quality policy is deeply instilled in its vision to ignite possibilities for all its stakeholders especially its customers. All manufactured products fully meet the specifications which they are designed to meet for customers in Pakistan as well as international markets.
Pakistan Cables sources its raw materials from reputed international suppliers. The most important cable constituents such as XLPE material and copper are procured from the world’s leading suppliers of cable components.
Products have already been type tested at international agencies. Several products are also type tested and certified by KEMA, Netherlands. Some products are also TUV certified. Type tests are also performed in-house on predefined regular basis to ensure and guarantee the quality of manufactured products.
