Polyester or Steel Reinforced Hi-Cap Shingle Can Cable is manufactured from polyester resin, thermally fused to a durable core to provide consistent reinforcement the entire length of the cable.
Reduces neckdown: All the problems usually associated with “neckdown”, stretching, uneven cable surfaces, jam-ups, excessive breaks, downtime for re-splicing are significantly reduced.
Faster, easy splicing: With our can cable tool kit, anyone can make a splice in less than 15 minutes, and the cable’s lighter weight makes installations safer too.
Stretch-resistant: Shingle Can Cable will not stretch under the stress of heavy loads. That means no “cable surge”, less downtime, fewer “neckdowns” and better productivity.
Rust and moisture resistant: There’s no Nylon cover to strip off, no exposed steel to rust or cause rim burn. Thermoplastic will not absorb water or oil. Shingle Can Cable is particularly well suited for dairies because it is impervious to the acidic atmosphere than can rot nylon and rust steel cables.
Abrasion-resistant: Shingle’s tough thermoplastic formula resists damage even under the abuse of raw-edged cans.
Cuts noise reduction: Shingle Can Cables smooth surface virtually eliminates the noise commonly associated with steel.
Saves energy: Since Shingles thermoplastic cable is only one-third the weight of steel cable, there is less energy consumption and greater energy savings.
