Wire Drawing: Copper rods (8mm diameter) are drawn through diamond dies to produce fine wires (0.10–0.32mm diameter), with lubricants (vegetable-based oils) preventing surface damage.

Stranding: Strands are twisted in a concentric or bunch pattern using computer-controlled stranding machines. Lay length is set to 10–15x strand diameter (e.g., 1.5mm for 0.1mm strands) to balance flexibility and structural stability.

Tinning (Optional): Strands are passed through an electroplating bath containing tin sulfate solution, with current-controlled deposition ensuring a 0.005–0.01mm coating. Post-tinning, strands are annealed at 200°C to reduce brittleness.

Compounding: Silicone rubber, fillers, and additives are mixed in a twin-screw extruder at 80–100°C to form a homogeneous compound, which is then pelletized or formed into continuous strips.

Extrusion: The Stranded Conductor is fed into a rubber extrusion machine, where the silicone compound is forced through a die to coat the conductor. Die dimensions are precision-machined to ensure insulation thickness tolerance of ±0.02mm.

Curing: The Insulated Wire passes through a hot-air oven or steam chamber at 150–200°C for 5–10 minutes, cross-linking the silicone polymer to achieve its final mechanical and thermal properties.

Spools are wrapped in anti-static plastic film to prevent dust accumulation and electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, critical for electronic applications.

Wooden reels include moisture barriers (kraft paper) to protect silicone insulation from humidity during long-term storage.

For export, reels are shrink-wrapped and placed in cardboard cartons with foam inserts to prevent movement during transit.

Pre-cut lengths (0.5m–10m) available in sealed poly bags for retail or small-scale use, labeled with installation instructions.

Bulk packaging for OEMs: 1000m reels on palletized wooden crates with custom labeling (customer logos, part numbers).

Color-coded spools for easy gauge identification (e.g., red for 16 AWG, blue for 22 AWG).

Road Transport: For domestic shipments, enclosed trucks with temperature control (15–25°C) are used to avoid insulation hardening (cold) or softening (heat). Spools are secured with straps to prevent rolling.

Air Freight: Small spools (≤50m) shipped via air in climate-controlled containers, with weight limits (≤30kg per package) to avoid crushing.

Sea Freight: Large reels packed in shipping containers with desiccants to control humidity (≤60% RH). Wooden reels are palletized and secured with dunnage to prevent shifting.

Spools must be lifted using forklifts or cranes with reel handlers, avoiding direct contact with the wire surface to prevent insulation scratches.

Manual handling of small spools requires gloves to prevent oil/sweat transfer, which can degrade silicone over time.

Avoid stacking heavy reels on lighter ones; maximum stack height for 500m wooden reels is 2 units.

Transport vehicles must maintain temperatures between 5°C and 35°C to prevent silicone from becoming brittle (below 0°C) or tacky (above 40°C).

Exposure to direct sunlight is minimized using covered trailers or container liners, as UV radiation can cause insulation discoloration over time.
