Jiangsu Hopda Machinery Co., Ltd. Latest company case about Process Adaptability Analysis of High-Efficiency Cable Extruders for Indonesia’s 200MW PV-Storage Project
The 200MW AC mountain photovoltaic power station with an 80MW/80MWh energy storage system in the Morowali Industrial Park, Indonesia, is currently the country’s largest integrated PV-storage EPC project. It imposes stringent requirements on the reliability, environmental adaptability, and manufacturing consistency of supporting electrical equipment.
Located in a seismically active zone with complex mountainous terrain, the project requires cables to withstand long-term temperature and humidity fluctuations, mechanical stress, and potential geological disturbances. The material uniformity, thickness stability, and interfacial bonding strength of cable insulation and sheaths directly affect the electrical safety and O&M costs over the system’s designed service life of more than 25 years.
Against this background, the High-Efficiency Cable Extruder Series (Model 35–200) from Jiangsu Hopda Machinery Co., Ltd. provides critical process support for local and regional cable suppliers.
This series is specially designed for various insulation and sheath materials, including PE, PVC, XLPE, LSZH, HFFR, and Teflon, covering the full range of extrusion requirements from low-voltage control cables (minimum diameter 0.5 mm) to medium-voltage power cables (maximum 180 mm).
Its explicit extrusion rates are as follows:
XLPE: 65–1100 kg/h
LSZH: 85–1700 kg/h
PVC: 80–1600 kg/h
These meet the capacity and process window requirements of different production lines, such as DC-side cables for PV sites (usually XLPE or LSZH), AC connection cables for energy storage systems (mostly PVC or HFFR), and high-voltage grid-connection cables (often requiring co-extruded two-layer XLPE).
The extruders adopt specialized screw structures adapted to the rheological properties of different materials, paired with an advanced temperature control system, ensuring that cables for mountain projects maintain stable dielectric properties and mechanical toughness even at high altitudes and high humidity.
The large touch screen and customizable human-machine interface language enable the local Indonesian technical team to quickly master operation and parameter setting.
A 1-year warranty includes remote guidance and on-site maintenance response, satisfying the strict constraints of EPC contractors on supply chain delivery cycles and after-sales support timeliness.
This extruder is typically suitable for cable factory capacity upgrading, old production line replacement, and high-consistency insulation production, and can directly support the localized cable manufacturing capacity driven by this project.
