Extrusion Dies for Insulated Wire and Cable
Compression dies engineered for concentricity so the insulation wall can be run thin.
Product Overview
Extrusion Dies for Insulated Wire and Cable
Extrusion dies set the outside diameter of the insulation and, together with the tip, decide how concentric the wall is. SGT compression dies are built for superior concentricity, which is what allows a thin insulating layer — minimising material usage and scrap. Process technology is heat treatment with a tungsten carbide or diamond insert.

Key Benefits
What This Model Gives You
Superior Concentricity
The property that lets the nominal wall come down without risking a thin spot.
Carbide or Diamond Insert
Long service life under harsh conditions, so the die holds size through the run.
Engineered per Application
Each customised die is engineered with the application in mind to ensure proper wire centering.
Less Compound per Metre
More throughput, less material usage and less scrap add up on the insulated wire and cable manufacturer's margin.
Application Scenarios
Where It Is Used
- Building wire insulation lines
- Automotive cable extrusion
- Thin-wall and fine gauge insulation
- Data and control cable
Industries
Problems It Solves
Why Buyers Specify It
- Wall thickness set high only to cover eccentricity is compound paid for and never recovered
- A die that opens up mid-run drifts the outside diameter out of spec
- Off-the-shelf tooling ignores the compound and the line speed
Compared With Other Models
Extrusion tips guide and centre the conductor; extrusion dies set the insulation outside diameter. They are supplied as a matched pair. Carbide or diamond insert is specified where wear decides the tool life; stainless steel covers the larger sizes from 0.50 mm to 25.0 mm.
Use Guide
How It Is Set Up and Run
- Send conductor size, wall thickness, compound and line speed with the drawing.
- Fit the die and the matched tip together — neither works on its own.
- Set the vacuum and the draw-down ratio to the tooling, not to the previous set.
- Check concentricity on the first metres before committing the run.
Customisation and Supply
What Is Built to Order
Dies to Your Wire
Dies are manufactured for wire between 0.10 mm and 25.0 mm to suit round or profile wire and rod, to the customer's own specification, at -1% / +2% of the wire diameter.
Your Electrical Supply
On the motorised and hydraulic machines, operating voltage is built to the industrial supply of the destination country. State voltage, phase and frequency with the order.
Export Packing
Machines are packed in a strong wooden or plywood case as stated per model. Carry cases are supplied with the portable welders and the DA10.

Extrusion Dies for Insulated Wire and Cable Questions
What insert materials are available
Tungsten carbide or diamond insert, with heat treatment as the process technology.
Can dies be made to our drawing
Yes. Each customised extrusion die is engineered with the specific application in mind.
How does the die reduce scrap
Better concentricity allows a thinner insulating layer, which minimises material usage and scrap.
Are tips supplied with the die
Tips are quoted alongside — carbide or diamond insert from 0.050 mm to 12.50 mm, stainless steel from 0.50 mm to 25.0 mm.
