Elpress HKL/ KL Hydraulic Cutting Tools

Product overview

Elpress HKL/ KL Features

Elpress HKL/ KL Hydraulic Cable Cutting Tools is a series of hydraulic cable cutters covering almost all needs for cutting power cables and OH-line wires. The cutting heads can be operated with Elpress Foot Pump P4000, Elpress Battery and Mains Operated Electrohydraulic Pump PS710 or Elpress Mains Powered Pump P1000. The cutting capacity of any cutting tool may vary due to conductor design, insulation thickness, hardness of materials, etc.. Not suitable for steel wire and wire reinforced cable.

General Information

STRIPPING TOOLS
To strip insulation from cable there are the EMBLA, EMBLA RA, TOR and ODEN tools. They strip from approximately 0,02mm2 up to ∅ 40mm cable. The tools feature high precision, ergonomic adaptation, user friendliness and reliability.

CUTTING TOOLS
Tools are available in several variants for cutting Cu and Al cable up to approximately Ø 85mm. In addition to the simplest mechanical tools that cut cable up to Ø 20mm, there is a wide range of hydraulic tools for cutting cable up to approx 85mm.

The size of the conductor that the tools can handle mainly depends on the type of conductor to cut, whether it is a LV or MV cable and the class of the conductor. The hardness of the conductor’s material also affects the results. For example, the PKL54C is capable of cutting type Cu FKKJ 4 x 95 mm2 low voltage cable or Al AKKJ 4 x 240mm2 or MV cable type Al AXLJ 3 x 150mm2. The insulation takes some space on the medium voltage cable which is why it can be restrictive.

TOOLS FOR PEX CABLE
Finally, for the preparation of medium voltage cables, 12-24 kV and removal of conducting layers and PEX insulation, tools FBS1722 and FBS1723 are available.
