Leading manufacturer of cable machinery and related equipment, Maillefer Extrusion India Private Limited, has launched a new helical crosshead THC 70/150 HE crosshead designed for medium and high-voltage poly-propelene insulated cable production.
The crosshead features an optimised helical distributor that ensures accurate wall thickness, centricity, and roundness of the cable. The helical design increases overlapping in the insulation seam area, thereby improving the cable’s electrical properties.
The crosshead is designed with short residence times, streamlined flow channels and efficient electric heating. These features favour long production lengths and smooth layer surfaces. The centering of all layers can be adjusted independently, providing flexibility and precision in production.

The conical flow pieces of the crosshead are made of nitrided steel. This material choice ensures continuity in production for many years, making the Maillefer THC 70/150 HE Crosshead durable for cable production.
As per Maillefer, the THC 70/150 HE Crosshead offers several key benefits:
The three-layer extrusion supports MV and HV PP insulations up to 500 kV. The crosshead ensures precise cable dimensions and supports extended production runs without interruption. The versatile product can handle a wide range of production requirements. It is designed for easy operation and reduces the risk of damage. The crosshead also allows for quick setup, saving valuable production time.
