We supply crossheads for wire and cable extrusion lines, including pressure heads, tube heads, and combination tooling designed for insulation and jacketing applications across a wide range of conductor sizes and materials. Our inventory covers crossheads compatible with equipment from leading manufacturers such as Maillefer, Nokia Maillefer, Rosendahl, Davis-Standard, Nextrom and Troester, among others, ensuring a reliable replacement solution regardless of your line configuration.

Crossheads are the core component of any wire and cable extrusion line, responsible for directing the molten polymer around the conductor or cable core in a controlled and uniform manner. Pressure-type crossheads force the material to contact the conductor before exiting the die, ideal for tight adhesion in primary insulation. Tube-type crossheads allow the melt to form a tube that collapses onto the conductor, preferred for cable jacketing applications where surface finish and controlled shrinkage are critical.

We offer crossheads compatible with the full spectrum of thermoplastic and thermoset compounds, including PVC, XLPE, HDPE, LLDPE, PP, TPE, HFFR, and EPR. Whether your line processes fine magnet wire, medium-voltage power cable, automotive wiring, fiber optic sheaths, or instrumentation cable, we can source the appropriate crosshead geometry, bore configuration, and material grade to match your production specifications.

All crossheads are available with worldwide shipping and full technical support to assist with installation, tooling alignment, and process optimization. Whether you need a direct OEM replacement or an equivalent crosshead for your single-screw or twin-screw extruder, our team is ready to assist with selection and sourcing to minimize your line downtime.
