High-capacity reels for the fibre optic industry
With over 15 years experience in producing and marketing a full range of spools and reels that meet the current and future demands of companies producing fibres, fibre-ribbon and optical fibre cables. Sonoco Crellin BV, The Netherlands, a European affiliate of the American company Sonoco, offers a wide range of proprietary reels that have been developed to meet the equipment requirements of leading OEMs in this market.
The company has recently introduced high-capacity reels that have been developed in close co-operation with Nextrom, the world’s premier supplier of manufacturing solutions and services to the fibre optic industry. High-capacity reels are specially designed for use in fibre draw, proof testing, fibre ribbon lines and cable stranding equipment and holding significantly more product than current Sonoco Crellin reels. Reels are now capable of holding approximately 375km and 725km length of fibre. Flange diameters are respectively 450mm and 540mm. To accommodate different equipment, shaft diameters come in three diameters: 1”, 2” and 3”; flanges are tapered in both executions. For automatic fibre transfer from one reel to another in a dual take-up, tapered flanges can be executed with different slots to pass the fibre through. Both these new reels can be adapted to existing Nextrom machinery. Nextrom has upgrade packages available to modify the machines accordingly. Due to offering variable traverse sizes customers can design their own customised reel.
