Hind Rectifiers (HIRECT) has recently announced the commercial availability of advanced copper conductors from its expanded facility in Sinnar, Nashik. The new product portfolio includes Continuously Transposed Conductors (CTC), Paper Insulated Copper Conductors (PICC), and Enameled Paper Insulated Copper Conductors (EPICC), designed for high-power transformers, traction motors, and wound components.

The conductors are engineered to support key infrastructure sectors such as power grids, railway systems, and industrial power networks, while also strengthening the company’s presence in global markets through exports.

HIRECT’s production lines offer flexibility in conductor sizing and insulation. CTC lines support 5 to 63 strands with customisable dimensions, while PICC and EPICC products accommodate copper widths up to 20 mm and thickness up to 8 mm. Advanced insulation capabilities enable precise control of thickness between 0.25 mm and 5 mm, ensuring high thermal and electrical performance.

The facility features a dust-free, air-conditioned manufacturing environment and integrates in-line optical testing systems, including pinhole and blister detection, to ensure dimensional accuracy and product reliability.

Certified under ISO 9001:2015, the Sinnar plant includes in-house testing laboratories for dielectric performance, high-voltage breakdown, and interstrand integrity, ensuring compliance with global quality standards.

BIO-ROXX Boosts Efficiency at Mühlacker Biomethane Plant

The Mühlacker biomethane plant in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, has recently enhanced its operational efficiency by integrating the BIO-ROXX substrate preparation module from Wangen Pumps. The system improves substrate consistency, handles long fibres, and effectively removes solid contaminants, addressing the growing complexity of biogas feedstocks.The plant, established in 2007, processes around 30,000 tonnes of feedstock annually from over 120 suppliers, producing biomethane and fertilisers. With increasing use of long-fibre materials such as straw and manure, the existing dry infeed system..
