How to Choose Flat Dedicated Cables for Stacker-Reclaimers

Published: 2025-05-23 15:57:38

Here are some key points for selecting the flat dedicated cable cable for cable bucket wheels at Shanghai Suoqi:

Consider the working environment of the bucket wheel

Temperature: If the bucket wheel operates in high-temperature environments, such as near furnaces, high-temperature resistant cables should be selected. Shanghai Suoqi's flat cables generally operate at temperatures from -20°C to 80°C, and higher temperature requirements require specification. In low-temperature environments, such as open-pit coal mines in the north, it is necessary to ensure the cable remains flexible at low temperatures. Suoqi flat cables have the characteristic of maintaining flexibility at low temperatures.

Corrosiveness: If the work environment contains corrosive substances such as acids, alkalis, or salts, for example at some chemical docks, it is necessary to choose Suoqi's customizable acid-alkali-salt mist corrosion-resistant series flat cables 1.

Mechanical stress: During the operation of a bucket wheel machine, the cables are subjected to tensile, bending, and torsional stresses, so it is necessary to choose cables with good tensile, tear-resistant, and bending-resistant properties. Shanghai Suoqi flat cables have stable tensile and tear-resistant performance, and with the same number of cores, their bending radius is smaller than that of round cables, making them capable of withstanding the frequent movement and bending of the bucket wheel machine.

Pay attention to electrical performance

Rated voltage: Select a cable with an appropriate rated voltage according to the electrical system voltage of the bucket wheel machine. Suoqi flat cables are available in different specifications such as U0/U 450/750V~0.6/1KV.

Conductor material: The conductor of Soke flat cable generally uses multi-stranded finely twisted oxygen-free bare copper wire, complying with VDE0295 CLASS 5 or 6 standards. It has good electrical conductivity, low resistance, and can effectively reduce energy loss and heat generation.

Insulation Performance: Insulating materials must have high insulation resistance and good voltage resistance performance to prevent leakage and short circuits. Suoqi flat cables use a special blended elastomer material for soft insulation, which can meet this requirement.

Determine the cable structure

Core wire arrangement: There are two types of arrangements: single-line arrangement or staggered arrangement. 1. The single-line arrangement is suitable for conditions where the free use length does not exceed 35 meters and the moving speed does not exceed 1.6 meters/second; the staggered arrangement is suitable for conditions where the free use length does not exceed 80 meters and the moving speed does not exceed 4 meters/second, and can be selected based on the actual operating speed and travel of the bucket wheel.

Reinforcement parts: If the cable of the bucket wheel machine needs to be freely suspended for more than 80 meters, cables with galvanized soft steel wire rope reinforcement can be chosen; Fiber aramid yarn can also be selected as reinforcement parts as needed to enhance the cable's tensile strength.

Sheath Material: Suoqi flat cables usually use a sheath made of a special compound elastomer neoprene material, which has good oil resistance, wear resistance, cold resistance, and weather resistance, protecting the internal structure of the cable from external environmental influences.

Consider other factors

Customized Services: Shanghai Suoqi Cable can provide customized services, capable of designing the most suitable cable solutions according to the specific operating conditions of the bucket wheel and the personalized needs of users.
