Kokkuvõte

Coil upending turns a coil through 90°, between eye-horizontal and eye-vertical, for pallets, decoilers or packing lines. Turning through 180° flips a load over completely. A tilter does either on a fixed pivot, with the operator outside the fence, and our FPCT mechanical upenders cover 3–20 t in 50–100 s per cycle. Below: the solution types, the data, how to size one, and the safety points.

Why industry upends and turns coils

Steel, aluminium, copper and wire coils change orientation several times between production and the customer. A slitter or mill hands them over eye-horizontal; storage, pallets and many decoilers want them eye-vertical; export packing may need them turned back again. Each change done on a crane hook means a load swinging through 90° above people, edge damage where chains bite, and minutes of work.

A tilter makes the turn on a controlled pivot. The coil sits in a seat shaped for it, the operator stands away at the control box, and the same turn happens the same way every time.

Upending and turning solutions

Lahendus	Pöörduma	Tüüpiline kasutamine
Mechanical coil upender (FPCT)	90 °	steel and wire coils, 3–20 t
Spool and drum tilter	90 °	cable reels and spools
180° turnover / flipper	180 °	molds and loads that must land upside down

The mechanical upender is the workhorse for coils: gear-motor driven, it stops at any angle and holds there even if the power goes off. Spool tilters use a chain drive and seats for flanged reels. A 180° turnover suits loads that must be flipped completely.

How a mechanical upender works

Laadimine. A crane, forklift or coil car sets the coil in the L-shaped seat. The workbench is made to suit each product.
Kalluta. A gear motor drives the turning body through helical gears and a worm reducer. A heavy-duty four-roll device carries the load through the tilt. An inverter controls the speed.
Peatu. Two displacement limiters and limit sensors stop the turn at 90°; the worm drive holds the load at any angle.
Mahalaadimine. The coil, now in its new orientation, is lifted off or runs out on a conveyor.

The machine runs from a control box or a remote, which keeps the operator away from the turning position. The tilting platform works inside a mesh fence, and the operator stays outside it at the panel.

FPCT upender data

MUDEL	max koormus	võim	Tsükkel
FPCT-03	3 t	1.3 kW	50–90 s
FPCT-05	5 t	2.0 kW	50–90 s
FPCT-10	10 t	2.5 or 4.5 kW by version, confirmed at quote	60–90 s
FPCT-20	20 t	7.8 kW	60–100 s

Across the range, cycles run 50–100 s. Supply: AC 380 V, 50 Hz, or to your requirement.

Sizing example: an 8 t coil

Illustrative: heaviest coil 8 t, 25 coils to turn per shift.

Vaata	Arvutus	Tulemus
Rated load with margin	8 × 1.25	10 t → FPCT-10
Cycles per hour, slowest	3,600 ÷ 90	40
Cycles per hour, fastest	3,600 ÷ 60	60
25 coils per shift?	well under 40 per hour	jah

Tulemus. An FPCT-10 handles the coil with margin. The 40–60 cycles an hour are the machine’s own capability; crane rigging and transfer time, rather than the tilt cycle, set the real plant throughput.

How the coil arrives and leaves: crane, forklift, coil car or conveyor.
Seat shape: coil, spool or special load. The seat and frame are built to your OD, ID and width range.

Ohutus: EN 415-10 ja ISO 12100

Tilters used in coil packing lines are built to EN 415-10, with the risk assessment done to ISO 12100. The hazards are a heavy load moving through an arc, the crush zone under the turning body and a coil sliding in its seat.

Our upenders answer these with a mesh fence round the turning zone and a control box or remote that keeps the operator out of it. Limiters and sensors at the end of travel, an emergency stop and a position lock complete the set.

Inseneri KKK

Q: What happens if the power fails mid-turn? A: The gear drive holds the load where it is; the upender stops at any angle.

Q: How long is one turn? A: 50–90 s on the 3 t and 5 t models, 60–90 s on 10 t and 60–100 s on 20 t.

Q: Can it turn cable spools? A: Yes, with a spool tilter and seats for flanged reels.

Q: Can it turn a load through 180°? A: That needs a 180° turnover; tell us the load and we will propose one.
