The invention relates to an apparatus for unravel-ling wire ropes (3), which are made up of a complex of different materials, having a peeling device (1) with an opening (5), through which a core (9) of the wire rope (3) passes along a through-feed axis (D) and a through-feed direction (Z), while an outer portion (10) is separated, said peeling device (1) comprising a mandrel (4) through which the opening (5) passes axially, with at least one rotatable cutting wheel (12) being provided next to the mandrel (4), which wheel has on the circumference thereof at least one blade (13) and the axis of rotation (R) of which wheel is substantially transverse to the through-feed axis (D), characterized in that a cut-ting profile (6) of the blade (13) or a common cutting profile (6) of the blades (13) is concave in form.

A device for separating a core and sheath of cable includes an apparatus delivering the cable along cable feed axis parallel to longitudinal axis of cable. Two knives cut sheath to two portions mechanically dissociated from one another. Each knife cuts sheath over its whole thickness in radial cutting zone with respect to central axis of the cable. Two blockers extend the knives in the direction of the feed axis of the cable and keep the core in position along the feed axis of the cable. At least one ramp extends from each knife in a second direction perpendicular to the radial cutting zone and to the feed axis of the cable. The ramp has an outer surface extending away from the cable feed axis in the first direction when movement takes place in the feed direction of the cable to separate the core and the portions of the sheath.

According to typical inventive practice, a cable is grasped by a Kellum grip and is positioned through the topside “V”-notch of an “M”-structure. Two wires engage pulleys and a ratchet distanced from the pulleys. The pulleys are joined with a grip plate, attached at an axial end of the Kellum grip. The ratchet is joined with a ratchet plate, proximate and/or attached to the “M”-structure. The “M”-structure has joined therewith three blade wheels having cutting orientations in the same linear direction. The blade wheels are situated interiorly and perpendicularly in correspondence to the geometric sides of the inverted triangle defined by the “V”-notch. Each blade wheel is adjustable to suit the diameter of the cable positioned through the “V”-notch. Ratcheting of the wires moves the ratchet plate and hence the “M”-structure, resulting in creation via the blade wheels of three parallel slices in the cable along its axis.

The disclosure relates to an apparatus for continuous processing of a cable-to-be-recycled simultaneously with being pulled from a pull zone during reconductoring or restringing so as to avoid storing the cable-to-be-recycled on a reel, wherein said cable-to-be-recycled has a cable length equal to a length of the pull zone, wherein the cable-to-be-recycled has aluminum strands surrounding a core, and wherein the cable-to-be-recycled is pulled during a pull from the pull zone by a first puller, the apparatus including: a strand cutter adapted to be used in proximity to the puller and adapted to continuously receive the cable-to-be-recycled and to cut through the aluminum strands of the cable-to-be-recycled, while in proximity to the puller, so as to remove segments of the aluminum strands from the core of the cable-to-be-recycled, for recycling of the segments of the aluminum strands, while leaving the core intact as the cable-to-be-recycled passes through the strand cutter during the pull from the pull zone of the cable-to-be-recycled.

A continuous processing system and method for the continuous processing of an electrical conductor cable having aluminum strands encasing a steel core directly from a puller or from a puller and reel, simultaneously or on-the-fly during substantially the entirety of a reconductoring or re-stringing of the cable, wherein such cables are used for power lines or for static wires. The system is adapted to cooperate with a pulling machine. The pulling machine may be formed integrally within the system or may be a conventional pulling machine which cooperates with the system. The processing system runs continuously, substantially without interruption, during the pull of all of the cable from the pull zone of the reconductoring or restringing.

A removing apparatus (2) includes a first removing section (11) and a second removing section (12). The first removing section (11) includes a rotating disk (15) and a driven roller (16). The rotating disk (15) has a pair of left and right first to fourth left and right removing blades (21) to (24) attached thereto. When the rotating disk (15) rotates in a counterclockwise direction, a coil conductive wire (3) sandwiched between the rotating disk (15) and the driven roller (16) is transferred in a transfer direction. When the rotating disk (15) rotates in a counterclockwise direction, the left and right side surface portions of the insulating coating (4) are removed by a blade portion (21b) of a pair of left and right first left and right removing blades (21).

A peeling apparatus 1 includes a first peeling die and a second peeling die respectively including a pair of cutting blades 251 that peels the insulating film by being moved in a direction perpendicular to an axial direction of the conductive wire material 2 to cut the insulating film, and a support die 253 that supports a side surface of the conductive wire material 2 from a downstream side in a moving direction of the cutting blades 251 at the time of cutting by the cutting blades 251, the support die 253 of the first peeling die including a convex portion 2533 protruding toward the conductive wire material 2.
