In industries where vertical movement and high mechanical stresses are common, choosing the right reeling cable is crucial. The PUR-HF TROMMEL 0.6/1kV LV Reeling Cable stands out as a specialized solution for drum and vertical reeling applications, meeting both international standards and demanding operational requirements.

What Are the Key Applications of PUR-HF TROMMEL Reeling Cables?

The PUR-HF TROMMEL cable is designed specifically for environments with high mechanical stress, torsion, tension, and torque. Its main applications include:

  • Vertical drum reeling: Ideal for lifts, hoists, and other vertical transport systems in industrial settings.

  • Festoon systems: Capable of supporting speeds up to 200 m/min, suitable for moving equipment along horizontal tracks.

  • Moderate mechanical stress environments: Can also be used where movement is frequent but loads are lighter, thanks to its integrated strength member.

  • Exposure to harsh substances: The PUR sheath offers resistance to hydrolysis, oils, alkalines, and solvents, making it ideal for chemical or outdoor environments.

A real-world example comes from mining operations in Indonesia, where PUR-HF TROMMEL cables have been installed in vertical ore lifts. They have demonstrated exceptional durability under high-speed reeling, reducing downtime caused by cable wear.

Which Standards Do PUR-HF TROMMEL Cables Comply With?

The cable complies with major international standards:

  • IEC 60228, IEC 60502 – Conductor and cable design.

  • DIN VDE 0293-308, DIN VDE 0250 – Electrical and mechanical testing.

  • IEC 60332-1 – Flame retardancy.

  • HD/EN/IEC 60811-2-1 – Material testing.
    This ensures global compliance, high safety, and reliability for industrial applications.


FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions About PUR-HF TROMMEL Reeling Cables

How does PUR-HF TROMMEL differ from standard reeling cables?

Unlike standard cables, PUR-HF TROMMEL features a reinforced strength member, anti-twisting braid, and PUR-HF sheath, making it ideal for vertical drum and high-speed reeling applications. It is more resistant to torsion, tension, chemical exposure, and mechanical wear.

Can PUR-HF TROMMEL be used outdoors in tropical climates?

Yes. The PUR sheath provides excellent resistance to hydrolysis, oils, alkalines, and UV radiation, while the LSZH insulation ensures fire safety, making it suitable for Indonesia’s tropical conditions.

What is the recommended installation practice?

  • Maintain a minimum bending radius of 6 x overall diameter for fixed installations and 8 x diameter for mobile applications.

  • Avoid sharp directional changes; minimum distance for change of direction: 20 x overall diameter.

  • Use correct reeling speed: up to 200 m/min for horizontal and vertical movement.

Is PUR-HF TROMMEL suitable for mining applications?

Absolutely. Case studies from Indonesian tin and nickel mines show excellent performance under high vertical tension and repeated reeling, with minimal cable wear and downtime.

What maintenance practices are recommended?

  • Regularly inspect sheath and core for mechanical damage.

  • Avoid excessive bending beyond recommended radius.

  • Ensure proper storage and handling to prevent twisting and abrasion.


How to Choose the Right PUR-HF TROMMEL Cable for Your Application?

  1. Determine voltage and current requirements.

  2. Identify operational stress: vertical, horizontal, torsion, chemical exposure.

  3. Select the appropriate number of cores and cross-sectional area.

  4. Check bending radius and minimum distance for direction change.

  5. Verify compliance with IEC and VDE standards.

By following these steps, engineers can ensure optimal performance, safety, and long service life for industrial reeling applications.


Installation Tips for Maximum Performance

  • Align drum correctly: Misalignment increases torsion and wear.

  • Use tension monitoring: Prevents overstressing cables.

  • Temperature management: Ensure ambient temperature does not exceed the cable’s rating (-40°C to +90°C).

  • Periodic testing: Electrical and mechanical tests can detect early signs of fatigue or damage.


Why Choose PUR-HF TROMMEL for Industrial Reeling Applications?

The combination of high mechanical strength, flexible design, chemical resistance, and global standard compliance makes PUR-HF TROMMEL a reliable solution for industries ranging from mining, manufacturing, port operations, to heavy-duty lift systems. Its performance has been validated in tropical and harsh industrial environments, including Indonesia’s mining sectors, ensuring reduced downtime and increased operational efficiency.
