CableCorder CC4 – twist & save with E³ technology
With its future-oriented technology, the CableCorder CC4 cabling machine, which has been awarded the Saurer E³ label, offers energy savings of up to 50 % in the tire cord cabling process. Since energy represents by far the most significant cost factor in the overall cabling process, this promises revolutionary production cost savings for manufacturers of tire cord. The reduction in energy consumption also results in a lowering of the heat load in production facilities, which in turn leads to a lowering of air conditioning costs. The higher economic efficiency is also increased by up to 50 % fewer yarn breaks, improved quality and high machine efficiency. The added value for machine operators consists of lower noise emissions in the production facility and reduced operating times thanks to user-friendly machine handling. An innovative enhancement of the machine to the production of 2-ply tire cord is the option for producing also 3-ply tire cord in a single-stage process.
