Automated Slit Coil Packaging: The Missing Link in Smart Steel Slitting Lines
In steel processing, the slitting line is often a showcase of speed and precision. But once slit coils are produced, packaging them remains a labor-intensive, time-consuming task—unless it’s automated. The Automatic Slit Coil Packaging System closes that gap by transforming a manual bottleneck into a streamlined, intelligent, and operator-light process.
This system doesn’t just move steel—it redefines the efficiency, safety, and scalability of modern slitting operations. For manufacturers investing in smart factories, it's more than an upgrade—it's essential infrastructure.
From Slit Coil to Pallet: A Fully Automated Journey
In traditional lines, heavy slit coils require cranes, forklifts, and multiple operators for manual centering, strapping, and stacking. That process is slow, inconsistent, and unsafe.
The Automatic Slit Coil Packaging System integrates a full range of inline automation modules—from coil down-ending and weighing, to strapping, stacking, and pallet outfeed. With precision mechanics and centralized PLC control, the entire system can be operated and monitored by just one technician.
???? Automated Packaging Process Overview
1. In-Feed & Centering
-
Slit coils arrive via conveyor
-
Centering table aligns coil with precision sensors (auto error correction)
-
Lift table raises coil for fork pickup
2. Coil Pick-Up & Transfer
3. Strapping (Optional Integration)
4. Pallet Stacking
-
Coils stacked one by one on timber-block-separated pallets
-
Gantry-type movement ensures smooth and accurate coil placement
-
Four supportive arms prevent coil damage during movement
5. Outfeed
