RANPREX ® LAMINATED DENSIFIED WOOD

The Gund Company manufactures a wide range of insulation materials for the various types of transformers that are available today. Our application engineering expertise can help you understand both your insulation material selection and your component configuration options – whether it’s for large liquid filled transformers, dry type distribution transformers or low-voltage electronic transformers.

Rancan is produced in Italy, particularly by pressing red beech veneers that incorporate a patented thermosetting resin at a predetermined temperature. The result is a dense and exceptionally strong material that is ultimately suitable for many different applications.

Ranprex ® offers excellent electrical and thermal insulation properties. In addition to that, it also provides outstanding physical and mechanical properties in terms of its ability to compress, bend and successfully handle strong impact. This laminated densified wood insulation is self-lubricating and highly wear-resistant. There is even remarkable resistance to high and low temperatures, as well.

In the long run, the high-quality products and close work with the most significant transformer OEMs in the world enabled Rancan to become the largest producer of densified laminate wood for liquid-filled transformer applications. Rancan is essentially a leader in the production of Laminated Densified Wood, which is typically used in all industrial sectors. As a result, the company has been able to successfully reach top rated standards of quality.

The Gund Company recommends Ranprex ® for its various characteristics. These characteristics are mainly given by the special exploitation of its fibres. Thus, making this material different and distinct from all other composites.
