  • Festoon cables
    The Rheyflat-N screened and unscreened rubber flat festoon cables are designed to be used in handling systems, lifts and e-chain cable carrier systems in power, control and bus applications with high mechanical stress and frequent bending in one plane only. The copper-screened versions of the cable are used in environments where protection is needed against electro-magnetic disturbances caused by power cables.
  • Railway cables
    The Rheyhalon NSHXAFOE EN cables are designed to EN50264-3-1 to be installed in internal and external railway applications, such as in and on locomotives, trains and trolley buses, along with switching stations and control panels.

  • Project: Upgrade of all electrical and communications systems at a fish feed plant
    International fish feed supplier Nutreco recently upgraded its fish feed production plant in the Hobart suburb of Cambridge, Tasmania. The upgrade of the facility, which operates as Skretting Australia, included an extensive $3m rewiring of the entire plant by electrical services company Pacific Services Group (PSG) Tasmania. Skretting Australia is Australasia’s leading supplier of commercial fish feed. The plant was officially opened by Tasmanian Premier Lara Giddings in September.
  • $300m cable upgrade for manufacturing facility
    Maser has successfully completed the supply of instrumentation, thermocouple and process control cables that were required for a major $300m upgrade to a large manufacturing facility in southern New South Wales.
  • Supplying HV cable for mission-critical airport power
    When Downer Engineering installed kilometres of power cabling alongside the runway at Melbourne Airport, the mission-critical environment required the project to be completed within a very tight time frame, since minimal air-side disruptions could be tolerated. Likewise, Downer’s suppliers had to meet equally tight delivery schedules.
  • Electrical cable for a cantilever bridge
    Olex cable was installed as part of an upgrade to ensure the continuing operation of the four-lane Spit Bridge at Seaforth, NSW.
