Compression machine Pump and Head

[230kv]

1- I need your suggestion to buy Compression machine Pump and Head (Light Weight) till Conductor ACAR 1081.6 MCM – Drake 795 ACSR

2- What is the different between some type of head force developed 60 tons and others 100 tons, did this effects the crimp itself?:)

A 100T head uses a wider die than a 60T so you need fewer bites. In my experience, the wider the die the less chance of producing a banana.

Go for a double acting head if you can, the release is faster. On our single acting 60T the release is so bad that we have to get a podger (spud wrench) in and force the ram down. For this reason the 60T head rarely comes out. we use the 36T head in the air and the 100T on the ground.

Hope this helps.
