Abstract
Abstract In a machine for stranding elongate material for example metallic wire, comprising a first support means for receiving spools of the material to be stranded, a rotary twisting component, and a second support means for receiving a take-up spool for the stranded product, said rotary twisting component is disposed within an enclosure, means is provided for creating at least a partial vacuum within the enclosure, and sealing means is mounted in a wall of said enclosure through which the stranded product leaving the rotary twisting component is led to the takeup spool. Said first support means may also be disposed within said enclosure.
