Our Super Steam Curing Calculation NSS is a recipe generator for the line control of Super Steam CV lines (SSCV lines). By using a numerical simulation model, which contains heat transfer and cross-
linking kinetics, it optimizes the running conditions during cable production from start-up to shut-down. The calculated production parameters include line speed, tube heating zone temperatures, extruder outputs and screw speeds.
