CableCorder Pioneering energy saving technology Cutting-edge technologies are the key factor for E³. Thanks to the innovative outer yarn feed device, the outer yarn is controlled and the yarn balloon thus reduced to a possible minimum. Since mainly the yarn balloon is responsible for the machine s energy consumption, the considerably smaller balloon compared with conventional cabling machines allows for reducing the energy consumption by up to 50%. CableCorder offers triple added value Energy costs can be up to 50% of overall production costs of tire cord, depending on the location, and therefore this innovation makes a considerable contribution to cost reduction and thus aiding economic viability and competitiveness. A slim yarn balloon reduces the noise level enormously compared with conventional cabling machines. This makes a strong contribution to enhancing the machine ergonomics. The active delivery of the balloon yarn reduces the yarn break rate by up to 50%. Patented technology The technology developed by Allma engineers allows for energy savings on the CableCorder of up to 50% compared with conventional cabling. The system has been patented in the main markets and may be exclusively used by Allma customers. 6 CABLECORDER CABLECORDER

The modern design of the user interface ensures an effective and safe handling of the machine. Innovation guaranteed As a market and innovation leader, we are committed to offer our customers solutions which enable them to meet the challenges of the future and guarantee their success. Increasing raw material and energy prices are one of these challenges. The requirement to be met by you is to economically manufacture a top-quality product. The requirement to be met by us is to make the right means of production available to you. With the CableCorder by Allma our customers are well prepared to meet the challenges of the future. 50 Success guaranteed Delivery speeds infinitely variable up to 60 m/min, large feed package and twist package weights of up to 15 kg ensure maximum productivity. The new technology allows you to set the energy savings of up to 50 % directly at the user-friendly touchscreen! 8 CABLECORDER CABLECORDER
Cooling of the electronic system The CableCorder can be equipped with optional two air/water heat exchangers for cooling the electronic control cabinet. Alternatively, air/refrigerant heat exchangers can be used. Controlled machine stop Controlled machine stop and restart in case of power failure through the use of an uninterrupted power supply UPS (additional device). No productivity loss, no quality loss. Constant yarn and package quality thanks to completely reproducible production data Your customers want to rely on the agreed twisting and package quality. Therefore, you can easily and centrally set and save all production data on the CableCorder screen. Thus each lot can be reproduced with identical quality at any time. Furthermore you can save any desired number of lots and transfer the data from one CableCorder to another. Cabling and two-for-one twisting on one machine The CableCorder combines the processes of cabling and two-for-one twisting in an intelligent way. Symmetrical 2-ply tire cord constructions are, as usual, economically cabled in top quality. On CableCorder equipped with the two-for-one package (additional device) you can economically process single yarns as well as symmetrical and asymmetrical 2-ply and 3-ply yarns. In this version, delivery speeds are infinitely variable up to 120 m/min. Two completely independently controlled machine sides underline the flexibility of the Cable Corder.

Energy-saving miracle An intervention in the process by means of the new outer yarn delivery system on CableCorder allows the balloon size to be optimised. The ingenious solution offers an energy saving of up to 50 %. Fewer thread breaks The outer yarn delivery system on CableCorder releases caught yarns thus ensuring troublefree unwinding. As a result, the already very low number of thread breaks is further reduced by up to 50 %. High precision The CableCorder inner yarn tensioner works highly precisely thanks to capstan system. Settings are reproducible at any time and can be quickly and easily transferred to all spindles. High process reliability Online monitoring of the yarn tension (EasyGuard) at every twisting position ensures maximum product quality at any time. High cord quality The Cord Regulator ensures equal lengths of the inner and outer yarns in the cord thus assuring high cord quality. The Cord Regulator offers high levelling and low total yarn tension. CABLECORDER CABLECORDER 11
Benchmark in safety, quality and economic efficiency High efficiency Thanks to the outer yarn delivery system, the efficiency is tremendously increased: The energy consumption is reduced by up to 50 % and analogous to energy saving, waste heat has the same value. Further, the number of thread breaks is lowered by 50 %.

Additional devices CordGuard The CordGuard measures the total yarn tension, recognises yarn breakages, continuously monitors the twisting process, detects mechanical defects at the inner yarn tensioner, Cord Regulator and capstan as well as threading errors of the operator and unwinding problems at the feed packages. HiLo creel The HiLo creel is adjustable in height and gives the user an ergonomically optimum creeling position. Suction of hot air Extraction of heat from the spindle area provides optimised climate thus ensuring high-quality yarns. A positive side effect of this is a reduced noise level. The CableCorder design and the highly improved energy balance allow for a considerably reduced air-conditioning system. Two-for-one package The newly designed two-for-one package permits processing of single yarns as well as symmetrical and asymmetrical 2-ply and 3-ply yarns on your CableCorder. Noise abatement Noise-absorbent mats for further reducing the noise level. Equipment for processing rayon and aramid Special finish and surfaces of yarn guiding elements for gentle treatment of the yarn when processing materials such as aramid and rayon. Clutchable capstan For individually stopping the capstan at each spindle to avoid yarn laps in case of long downtimes. CABLECORDER CABLECORDER 13
