Executive summary Corrugated hose has to leave the extruder as tidy coils that hold their turns in storage and transport. Our hose coiler in this video guides red corrugated hose through a yellow arm onto a turning metal disc, and the finished coils are strapped and stored. Strap per coil follows from the coil height and the coil wall. We set both per project.

What the video shows
A thick red corrugated hose runs into the yellow guide arm of our blue-framed coiler and down to the centre of the turning disc. The disc winds the hose into tight concentric turns, with the hose end fixed at the centre and the drive below.
A white grid fence surrounds the coiling area. Later shots show finished coils stacked on a metal rack beside yellow buffer blocks, one with a grey-blue strap across it and another tied with white cord.
How the hose coiler works
| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| Feed | The hose runs in from the line through the guide arm |
| Fix | The hose end is fixed at the disc centre |
| Coil | The disc turns and lays tight turns |
| Strap | The finished coil is strapped or tied with cord so the turns hold |
| Store | Strapped coils go to the rack |
The guide arm lays each turn next to the last, so the coil is even and stacks flat. To wrap coils in film as well, see our automatic pipe coiling and wrapping machine.
Strap per coil
A strap through the coil eye runs round one wall section. Illustrative example:
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Coil OD (illustrative) | 1,200 mm |
| Coil ID (illustrative) | 600 mm |
| Coil height (illustrative) | 300 mm |
| Wall, (1,200 − 600) ÷ 2 | 300 mm |
| Band length, 2 × (300 + 300) | 1,200 mm |
| Bands per coil (illustrative) | 4 |
| Strap per coil, 4 × 1.2 m | 4.8 m |
Add the seal overlap to each band when you order strap.
Coils ready for storage
| Choice | What it decides |
|---|---|
| Bands per coil | How well the turns hold in handling |
| Strap or cord | Strap for heavy coils, cord for light ones |
| Coil height | How many coils stack on a rack level |
| Coil OD | Rack and pallet size |
We set the coil size from your rack and shipping limits. For film-wrapped corrugated coils, see our corrugated pipe rolls wrapping machine.
Controls and safety
The disc turns with force and the guide arm moves over it. Keep people outside the fence while the coiler runs, and fix the hose end only with the disc stopped.
The standards that apply depend on the destination market. For CE markets, ISO 12100 sets the risk-assessment method and EN 415-10 sets general requirements for packaging machines.
Selection checklist for a hose coiler with strapping
- Hose OD, material and corrugation.
- Coil length, OD, ID and height.
- Line speed from the extruder.
- Bands per coil and strap type.
- Storage rack and shipping limits.
- Floor space and power supply.
Engineering FAQ
Q: How does the coiler lay even turns? A: The guide arm lays each turn next to the last on the turning disc.
Q: How much strap does a coil take? A: About 4.8 m for four bands on a 1,200 mm OD, 600 mm ID, 300 mm high coil in our example, plus the seal overlap on each band.
Q: Strap or cord? A: Strap for heavy coils, cord for light ones; our video shows both.
Q: Is the coiling area guarded? A: Yes. A white grid fence surrounds it.
Q: What sets the coil size? A: Your rack and shipping limits.
Next step
We plan your hose coiler in three steps:
- Submit your layout drawing with hose sizes, coil lengths and line speed to info@fhopepack.com.
- Receive a proposal within 48 hours, with the coil size and strap plan.
- Book a site survey to check the extrusion line layout.
