A double twist buncher is a type of machine used in the wire and cable industry for stranding or bunching multiple wires together to form a single strand. It is commonly used for applications such as elevator ropes, crane ropes, conveyor belt reinforcement strands, automobile industry ropes, steel cord strands, and small diameter wire ropes.
Features and Benefits of Double Twist Bunchers:
Machine Types: Double twist bunchers are available in two main types: OUT-IN machines (type MSDN) and IN-OUT machines (type MSDC).
OUT-IN machines offer great flexibility in terms of the number and size of wire pay-off bobbins, and they can be used with long-length pay-off bobbins or wire coils, ensuring high machine running efficiency. They also have reduced investment costs compared to tubular stranding machines.
IN-OUT machines have a very compact design and operate at high speeds. They allow for easy observation and control of strand quality from outside the working area and have low energy and space requirements.
Machine Configurations: Double twist bunchers can be configured for various applications, including:
Bunching machines for the manufacture of single and multi-layer unilay strand (Seale, Seale-Warrington, Filler construction).
Bunching machines for the manufacture of spiral wire rope strand and Bowden Cable strand in regular and cross lay.
Bunching machines for the manufacture of spiral wire ropes.
Bunching machines for the manufacture of single or multi-layer steel wire strands such as Bowden Cable strand and flexible shafts.
Speed and Efficiency: Double twist bunchers are designed to operate at high speeds, with some models capable of producing strand at speeds up to 120 m/min.
Strand Quality: These machines ensure the production of excellent quality strands due to their robust construction, patented wire and strand guide systems, and optimum treatment and stressing of the wire.
