Costly water-cooled power cables and coils used in furnace applications are vulnerable to corrosion and overheating if they are not clamped into place sufficiently. Induction heating and foundry company ABP has eliminated these risks over the past two decades by using Band-It stainless steel strapping products on its power cable range. Water-cooled power cables are used to transfer electricity and cooling water to the furnace, with considerable dynamic forces exerted on the cables by the flowing current. With high replacement costs, a high-quality clamp is essential to ensuring that the cables supplied to the customer perform at optimal efficiency. Banding and ID Solutions Africa distributes and manufactures Band-It stainless steel strapping and buckles under license from USA-based Band-It-Idex, known internationally for its band clamping and fastening solutions.
