Cable Extrusion

Heatsense Cables are one of only two companies in the UK able to provide cable extrusion using PTFE for coating cables. This unique extrusion process allows us to produce high-quality PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) cables. We manufacture a range of PTFE equipment wires and cables which meet the BS3G210 standard, as well as Single Shot Thermocouple Cables in Figure 8 and Round Styles; all meeting the rigorous requirements of IEC60584-2 Class 1, ASTM E230, and ANSI MC96.1.

PTFE Ram Extrusion Line

Cable Extrusion is a specialised manufacturing process that involves the precise extrusion of PTFE material to create cables with exceptional properties. PTFE, known for its excellent temperature resistance, chemical inertness, and electrical insulation, is an ideal material for demanding applications. The ram extrusion process ensures uniformity, precision and consistency in the extrusion of PTFE, resulting in cables with high-performance characteristics. PTFE cables offer superior temperature resistance, excellent dielectric properties, low friction and resistance to chemicals making them suitable for demanding industries and environments.
