How to choose a cable solution for the line plan of filling and packaging integrated equipment?
1. Common Cable Types for Filling & Packaging Integrated Equipment
Power Cables
- RV Cable: Copper-core PVC insulated flexible wire, rated for 450/750V, featuring flexibility and bend resistance, suitable for power connections in filling machines.
- Example Specifications: AC220V±10% 50Hz, meeting the power requirements of filling equipment.
Control Cables
- ZR-RVV Flame-Retardant Control Cable: Multi-core copper PVC insulated cable for signal transmission and control systems, with flame-retardant properties ideal for automated control in filling equipment.
- Example Specifications: ZR-RVV-30*0.75 (30 cores, 0.75 mm² per core).
Industrial Drag Chain Cables
- Used for power transmission in moving parts (e.g., filling head reciprocation), requiring high flexibility and abrasion resistance.
- Common Models: TRVV (PVC-sheathed drag chain cable).
High-Temperature Cables
- Teflon High-Temperature Cable (e.g., AF250 FF46-2): Resistant to high temperatures (200°C+) and corrosion, suitable for hot sealing or sterilization modules.
- Features: Silver-plated copper core, UL-certified (e.g., UL1332).
2. Application Scenarios & Performance Requirements
- Power Connections
- Use RV or EV cables with oil resistance and flexibility for frequent movement and humid environments.
- Signal Control
- ZR-RVVP cables for PLC signal transmission; shielded variants (e.g., ZR-RVVP) for noise immunity.
- Moving Parts
- Drag chain cables (e.g., TRVV) must meet high flexibility and tensile strength requirements.
- High-Temperature Zones
- Teflon cables for hot sealing/sterilization; confirm temperature range (e.g., 200°C for Teflon, 150°C for silicone).
3. Cable Selection Recommendations
- Power Cables: Prioritize RV/EV series; cross-section depends on power (e.g., 1.5–4 mm²).
- Control Cables: Match core count to control points (e.g., 24 cores for multi-station control).
- Drag Chain Cables: Choose TRVV or PUR-sheathed models for enhanced durability.
- High-Temperature Cables: Verify operating temperature (e.g., Teflon for 200°C+, silicone for 150°C).
For further details on electrical parameters or installation standards, consult industrial cable selection manuals or contact manufacturers for customized solutions.
