First for Rautomead in South Africa

Aberdare Power Cables, the largest wire and cable producer in South Africa, has taken delivery of a new Rautomead RS continuous casting machine for the production of oxygen-free copper wire rod. The Rautomead wire rod casting machine will supply 12.7mm diameter rod to a continuous extrusion line that requires oxygen-free grade material to produce high quality copper strip sections. The casting machine will also supply 8mm wire rod for use in the production of specialist wires within the Aberdare group. The contract for the 6,000 tonne per year continuous casting equipment was signed during a visit by Jonathan Victor (Divisional Managing Director, Aberdare Power Cables) and Dietmar Anders (Senior Process Engineer, Aberdare Power Cables) to the Rautomead factory last year.
