Have you started noticing open nodes (after formation or from aged batteries), broken wires, “fishbone effect” or narrowing of the size of your expanded grid?

It’s time for a general check-up of your Expanded Metal Line! Here below some tips to prevent the creation of defects on the grid:

#1 REGULAR CHECK-UP

Check regularly the transmission units to ensure that there is no backlash between the organs. Bushing and columns of the expander should be replaced at least once a year.

Have a look at the detailed checking and replacement procedure! 

#2 UPGRADE YOUR EQUIPMENT WITH STATE-OF-THE-ART PUNCHES

Since 2019, Sovema has redesigned the expander’s punches to:

• Improve resistance to wear and tear
• Provide higher adaptability to working conditions (no need for very precise adjustments)
• Improve grid quality
• Keep wires intact

#3 REFURBISH YOUR EXPANDER
