Heavy-Duty Steel Cable Drums for Industrial Applications
Heavy-Duty Steel Cable Drums for Industrial Applications
Steel Cable Drums
Our Steel Cable Drums have been designed to operate on the high-load industrial cable handling and they are designed with great strength, durability as well as precise winding. The cable drums are made of solid mild steel with tapered flange geometry and are suggested to use with power cables, industrial wiring, mining and cable reeling systems.
We produce corrugated or flat flange (welded + nut and bolted steel cable drums) fully welded and welded + nut and bolted, depending on the operation requirements.
Product Construction & Components
Flange: The flanges are made of corrugated or plain steel with tapered profile to wind cables.
Outer Ring: Enhances the periphery of the flange and prevents deformation under compression.
Inner Ring: This is used to reinforce the structure at the hub region to transfer load.
Inner Drum (Barrel): This is a cylindrical surface with cables wound tightly and safely.
Tie Rods, Nuts and Tie Channels: Ensure structural integrity and keep drums in place.
Central C-Channel Assembly: Coat of arms both the torsional and axial strength of the drum.
MS Strengthening Plates: Strengthening of high stress parts to prevent deformations.
Spindle Bush: This is a machined bush that is used to have the shaft mounted and turned correctly.
