Mining

TFCA is the premier leader in Mining cables from surface mining to the toughest underground applications; TFCA brand mining can handle the most extreme jobs and are engineered to handle any mining application from medium to extra heavy duty.

80 years of experienced in production has demonstrated a proven track record of manufacturing products for deep and surface mine applications. This has generated the ability to develop a very extensive range of mining cables that provide following features:

• Very good flexibility and dragging resistance due to adequate construction and applied materials
• Maximum working safety due to applying individual shielding and minimizing inducing of electromotive forces’ mutual induction
• Excellent electrical, mechanical and temperature parameters due to specially in-house developed formulations
• Abrasion, compression, tear and flame resistance due to Tele-Fonika’s in-house formulated jacketing compounds: Chloroprene (Neoprene), Chlorinated Polyethylene (CPE), Chlorosulfonated Polyethylene (Hypalon) and TPU (polyurethane).

For mining cables production Tele-Fonika uses only selected materials that with support of experienced staff, modern technology and factory’s Quality Assurance System ISO 9001 and 14001 enable the company to manufacture and supply products to the world’s most demanding standards and certifications.

Tele-Fonika thermosetting hard ethylene propylene insulation compound provides the properties needed for high dielectric strength, to resist the ozone, water and treeing. The insulation meets or exceeds requirements specified by the following standards: ICEA-S-75-381 WC 58-1991 Type EP I , ICEA S-68-516 WC 8-1988, Type II, UL 1581 type EP class 45.

JACKET

TFCA’s Neoprene and CPE based compounds provide the physical properties for performance and strength needed to resist the tear, abrasion, oil and are flame retardant. For added durability and reinforcement, TFCA Brand offers the extra tough TPU (polyurethane) jacket. Extra heavy duty, durable jackets have exceeded their performance in mines in Poland, Europe, USA, RPA and Australia and have had a proven history of reliability.

CONSTRUCTION

Tele-Fonika’s cable construction includes an integral fill, taped core and double layer jackets. Two-pass jackets with the nylon reinforcing open braid and special compounding technology applied provide durable bonding of the layers. Tele-Fonika’s Chloroprene (Neoprene) or Chlorinated Polyethylene (CPE) and TPU orange or yellow colored jackets have the same physical properties as the black jackets, with added visibility for mine applications. The jackets meet or exceed the requirements of extra heavy or heavy duty cross linked jackets of ICEA S-75-381 WC 58-1991.
