Steel Wire Armouring
Rigid Armouring for High Pressure Hose
This solution for four and six layer spiral winding for high pressure hose uses standard supply bobbins, i.e. no rewinding is required. This unique manufacturing solution provides high outputs, long cycle times and statistically predicable curl and pitch performance necessary for optimum hose performance. Suitable for “pole” and “flex mandrel” solutions for either stand alone or in tandem with an extrusion processes. Typical applications include the 70lb or 32kg (BP 60) package with an average operating speed of 130rpm.
