Capital requirements generally include land acquisition, construction, equipment procurement, installation, pre-operative expenses, and initial working capital. The total amount varies with capacity, technology, and location.
To start an aluminum cables manufacturing business, one needs to conduct a market feasibility study, secure required licenses, arrange funding, select suitable land, procure equipment, recruit skilled labor, and establish a supply chain and distribution network.
Aluminum cables require raw materials such as high-purity aluminum (99.5% or higher) in ingot, billet, or wire rod forms, along with alloying elements like magnesium, silicon, and iron for desired properties. Insulating materials such as PVC, XLPE, and polyethylene are essential, while copper or steel may be used for shielding. The outer sheath, typically made from PVC or other polymers, is also required to provide durability, weather resistance, and protection against environmental factors.
An aluminum cables factory typically requires melting and alloying furnaces, continuous casting machines, and wire drawing benches. Other essential equipment includes annealing furnaces, stranding machines for conductor assembly, extrusion lines for insulation and jacketing, and testing facilities for quality control. Proper material handling, spooling, and packaging equipment are also necessary for efficient production and distribution.
The main steps generally include:
Sourcing and processing of raw aluminum
Adding alloying elements such as magnesium (Mg), silicon (Si), or iron (Fe) and melting aluminum
Continuous casting/extrusion of billets or rods
Hot rolling aluminum billets/homogenizing
Wire drawing to required diameter
Annealing/heat treatment
Stranding individual wires/bundling into conductors
Insulation extrusion of PVC, PE, or XLPE over the stranded conductor
Jacketing/outer sheath application to the cable
Testing & quality control of the cable
Packaging, storage, and distribution
Usually, the timeline can range from 12 to 24 months to start an aluminum cables manufacturing plant, depending on factors like site development, machinery installation, environmental clearances, safety measures, and trial runs.
