Stacker Reclaimer Reeling Cable – Flexible, Rugged Performance

Category:

Stacker Reclaimer Reeling Cable (Heavy-Duty Reeling Drum Cable)

Product Overview

Designed specifically for power and control reeling systems on stacker reclaimers, this reeling cable delivers consistent electrical performance in the most demanding dynamic applications. Power and control circuits feed through cable reels, enabling reliable energy supply and signal transmission to the entire machine. Typical deployment environments include ports, harbors, metallurgical works, cement plants, steel mills, coking plants, coal storage yards, and power stations, where the cable must withstand severe mechanical stress.

Integrated strength members – available as galvanized steel wire or high-tenacity jute – absorb tensile loads and the dynamic forces generated during high-speed winding and unwinding. The specially engineered structure and advanced jacket materials allow installation in dry or damp indoor environments as well as exposed outdoor locations.

Key Features

  • Extreme Flexibility – Fine-stranded oxygen-free bare copper conductors deliver excellent conductivity while maintaining the pliability required for constant reeling.

  • Abrasion, Bend & Torsion Resistance – An optimized core-lay length, precision copper stranding, and a special nitrile compound prevent conductor breakage under repetitive bending and twisting.

  • Optional EMI Protection – A tinned-copper braid shield effectively blocks external electromagnetic interference, keeping control signals clean (shield available on request).

  • High Tensile Strength & Extended Service Life – High-strength galvanized steel wire strength members (optional), jute fillers, and a cushioning non-woven fabric wrap work together to absorb mechanical loads, improving safety and durability.

  • Weather, Oil & Tear Resistance – The proprietary nitrile-based elastomer jacket or imported PUR sheath retains its physical properties in harsh, oily, and outdoor environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the minimum bending radius for this reeling cable?
The recommended minimum bending radius is typically between 8× and 12× the cable outer diameter, depending on the specific construction and sheath material. Tighter radii can be engineered for custom projects.

Can the cable be used in wet or submerged conditions?
Yes, the weather-resistant jacket handles moisture, dampness, and occasional water exposure reliably. For operations involving frequent submersion, we recommend upgrading to an imported PUR sheath to maximise hydrolysis resistance.

Is galvanized steel wire reinforcement mandatory?
The integrated steel strength member is highly recommended for high-speed reeling, long vertical drops, and situations where mechanical loads must be kept off the conductors. It can be omitted if the application does not require additional tensile support, but including it significantly extends service life.

Do you provide custom configurations – connectors, lengths, integrated fibre optics?
Absolutely. We manufacture stacker reclaimer reeling cables to your exact specifications, including custom core counts, hybrid power/data designs, pre-assembled lengths, and compatible cable reel terminations. Share your requirements with our engineering team for a tailored proposal.

What standards and certifications does this cable meet?
We manufacture in accordance with IEC guidelines and can supply test reports demonstrating compliance with CE, RoHS, and other regional requirements upon request. Please inform us of the certifications your project demands, and we will ensure full alignment.
