Powder distributor for filling a cable

摘要

A device for filling the interstices of multi-stranded cable with powder, comprising an outer cylindrical housing and a concentric inner tube with an annular chamber between them. The tube at one end carries a coaxial impeller located at the outlet end portion of the housing. Powder is fed into the chamber and a helical screw pushes the powder onto the impeller which is rotated to distribute the powder onto conductors passing from a strander around the device and into a closing die.
