DRUM STRANDERS & CABLERS

800-4500MM

The primary components of any Drum Strander Line are

rotating take-ups, rotating payoffs or, a combination of
both. Drum Strander lines can be configured to cable
round, compressed, compact and sectored insulated
cores, strand Milliken (segmented) conductors, apply steel
wire armouring and screen power cables, among many
other possibilities.
