Abstract: In order to solve the problems of labor intensiveness, high cost and low efficiency in traditional manual cable laying in the electromechanical installation of cement engineering projects, a solution of mechanized cable laying is proposed. The cable conveyor and the engine power winch are the key equipment in this solution. The solution takes cable conveyors and electric winches as the core equipment which has the technical characteristics of portable equipment,flexible operation and less damage to the cable, and is suitable for complex construction conditions.Trials and comparisons conducted at three representative laying scenarios for a 5 000t/d cement clinker production line in Zhejiang Province demonstrated that the efficiency of mechanical cable laying for large cross-section cables can reach 76~102 meters per person per day, which is 6~8 times that of manual laying. For small cross-section cables, a combined human-machine approach improves efficiency by 21% compared to manual methods, while mechanized installation reduces costs by 81%~86% and effectively lowers both physical strain and safety risks. The mechanical cable laying can further guarantee the cable laying quality and efficiency by optimizing the preparatory work, arranging the equipment reasonably and strengthening the inspection after laying. It is a better construction solution for the electromechanical installation of cement engineering projects.
