In view of increasing demand of E-beam Cables in India, Company has diversified into manufacturing of Electron Beam Crosslinked Cables by establishing a State of the art manufacturing facility situated at Rewa (M.P.). This E-Beam facility is a 3.0 MeV Electron Beam Accelerator along with suitably designed handling systems suitable for irradiation of various types of Electrical & Automotive Cables & Wires, PE Sheets, Polymeric Tubes/ Pipes, Heat Shrink products, Gems & Diamonds, Medical product sterilization. The E-Beam irradiation curing of Elastomer and other polymeric cables has several advantages over conventional steam/dry curing method.
By crosslinking, polymer chains are linked together by so-called cross links. A three-dimensional polymer network is created where the molecules have been joined together into a new non meltable polymer system. Now, the polymer chains loose some of their ability to move as individual chains. The result is no melting.
E-beam technology - Ionizing energy, as provided by an accelerated electron beam (EB), is an efficient means of crosslinking polymers used for wire and cable insulation and jacketing. In this process, the three-dimensional unmeltable network is produced. This can be done without heat. E-beam processing is fast, good, controllable and in a lot of cases more economical than thermal and/or chemical crosslinking.
The electron beam processing in wires and cables helps to improve thermal, chemical, barrier, impact wear and other mechanical properties to meet the demanding applications of the customers in wires and cables.
VTL has installed suitable handling systems to use the facility for following products
A solar cable is the interconnection cable used in photovoltaic power generation. Solar cables interconnect solar panels, PV cells and other electrical components of a photovoltaic system. Solar cables are designed to be UV resistant and weather resistant. They can be used within a large temperature range and are generally laid outside.
These cables are designed for connecting photovoltaic power supply and can be used in flexible & fixed installations for indoor / outdoor usage with high mechanical strength under extreme weather conditions.
