How fast does the hose coiling machine wind?

At 1 to 60 m per minute, with high and low speed settings, on two coiling stations.

Which coils fit the FPH-200N wrapper?

Coils of 250 to 650 mm ID, 450 to 800 mm OD, 120 to 280 mm width and 5 to 30 kg, at 20 to 35 s per coil.

Can the coil be wrapped in paper instead of film?

Yes. The FPH-200N runs stretch film as standard, with paper as an option.

Hose winding and wrapping machine: coil, then film wrap

Description: An automatic hose winding and wrapping machine coils the hose on a drum to a set length, then wraps the finished coil in stretch film through its eye. This clip shows the winding drum with its expanding arms, the machine inside a mesh guard, and stacks of finished film-wrapped black hose coils.

Executive summary An automatic hose winding and wrapping machine continuously takes flexible conduit or extruded hose, winds it on an expanding mandrel drum to a preset length, and transfers the strapped coil to an orbital stretch wrapper that applies film through the coil eye. This engineering review covers the two-station coiling mandrel, integrated pneumatic collapsing arms, perimeter safety interlocking, and palletized coils wrapped in protective film. Our equivalent turn-key system integrates a dual-station automatic coiling and strapping unit (5 to 35 kg coils, 1 to 60 m/min continuous feed) with the FPH-200N orbital eye-through wrapper (20 to 35 s cycle time) for synchronized downstream packaging.

What the clip shows

Finished coils. Stacks of finished corrugated conduit (marked ICTA Ø20 mm, 100 m) stand palletized on the plant floor. Each coil is uniformly wrapped in clear stretch film through the center eye, providing moisture protection and securing product documentation and tracking labels.
The winding drum. A dual-disc faceplate features a radial array of six synchronized expanding mandrel arms with low-friction guide blocks. A precision traversing guide arm feeds hose into the hub, governing layer pitch to prevent cross-winding.
Winding operation. Driven by a variable-frequency drive, the mandrel rotates at high speed to build tight, structurally stable coils while maintaining tension feedback synchronized with extrusion line haul-off.
Machine guarding and transfer. The line is enclosed within an industrial interlocked welded-wire safety cage. The front transfer section features pneumatic kick-off cylinders and a gravity roller conveyor delivering tied coils to the packaging stage.

While the primary footage focuses on high-speed coiling and extraction, the packaging process completes at the adjacent orbital wrapping station, converting raw extruded tube into distribution-ready pallet units.

From hose to wrapped coil

Extruded hose enters the packaging cell continuously from cooling troughs. An inline dancer accumulator decouples upstream extrusion speed from the coiler’s acceleration and indexing cycles.

The machine winds the product to the designated meter count, actuates a flying guillotine shear, holds the tail, and binds the core with radial strapping bands before the drum collapses. This ensures spring-tempered polymers do not unravel during transfer.

The secured coil ejects onto the infeed table of the FPH-200N orbital wrapper. A rotary ring carriage carries stretch film through the coil eye, applying an overlapping protective shell that seals out dust and moisture.

Step	Machine	Process Description
Tensioned Coiling	Dual-station hose coiler	Synchronized mandrel winding with automatic servo traversing layer pitch control
Tail Cut & Strapping	Integrated binding unit	In-mandrel PP strapping locks coil geometry before mandrel collapse
Mandrel Release	Expanding core assembly	Pneumatic arms collapse radially inward; push plate ejects coil to conveyor
Orbital Wrapping	FPH-200N coil wrapper	Pre-stretch film traverses through the eye at programmed overlap (40% to 60%)
Label & Palletizing	Discharge station	Barcode label applied over film face; coils stacked horizontally or vertically

Takt check

Extrusion speed dictates cell cycle time. The coiling cycle time (T_coil) is calculated by coil length divided by linear extrusion line speed:

T_coil = (Coil Length in meters ÷ Line Speed in m/min) × 60 s

For a 50 m conduit coil running at 60 m/min: (50 ÷ 60) × 60 = 50 s.
For a 100 m conduit coil running at 60 m/min: (100 ÷ 60) × 60 = 100 s.

Because the coiler employs two alternating stations, winding occurs without interrupting extrusion. Station indexing, cutting, and strapping consume approximately 15 to 20 s within the parallel cycle.

The FPH-200N orbital wrapper completes an eye-through protective cycle in 20 to 35 s. Because 35 s ≤ 50 s, the wrapping station maintains a buffer margin over the upstream feed, eliminating bottleneck accumulation. A powered metering roller conveyor balances line flow.

Selection checklist for a hose winding and wrapping machine

Hose structural properties: Outside diameter, wall thickness, minimum bend radius, and material memory (e.g., PVC, PE, corrugated PA, rubber).
Coil dimensional envelope: Target ID, maximum OD, and stack width checked against the 350–550 mm ID and 500–800 mm OD operational envelope.
Extruder line synchronization: Line haul-off speed (m/min) matched to dancer storage capacity and dual-station index speed.
Primary retention: Number of PP radial straps required (2, 3, or 4 points) prior to mandrel stripping.
Packaging barrier requirements: LLDPE film layer overlap ratio (waterproof/dustproof) versus reinforced VCI/kraft paper wrapping for abrasion-sensitive compounds.

Controls and safety

High-speed coiling drums and rotating orbital film rings carry pinch and entanglement hazards. The automated cell requires physical separation and positive-break safeguarding:

Perimeter Guarding: 2000 mm high welded wire perimeter fencing conforming to ISO 14120, preventing unauthorized personnel access during automatic cycles.
Interlocked Access: Access gates equipped with Category 4 / PLe dual-channel safety interlock switches (EN ISO 13849-1). Opening the gate initiates a controlled Category 0 emergency stop to all servo and pneumatic drives.
Maintenance Lockout: Safe operation requires full adherence to OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) protocols prior to entering the cell for manual reel changeover, knife maintenance, or clearing jams.
Compliance: Designed and built in compliance with ISO 12100 risk reduction standards and EN 415-10 safety requirements for packaging machinery.

Engineering FAQ

Q: How does the system prevent thin-wall corrugated pipe from crushing during winding? A: The coiler incorporates closed-loop dancer tension control. Torque limits on the mandrel drive adjust dynamically relative to the increasing coil diameter, preventing excessive radial force and ovalization.

Q: What is the cycle time of the FPH-200N orbital wrapper? A: Average cycle time ranges between 20 and 35 seconds per coil, depending on ring RPM, film width, and the programmed overlap percentage.

Q: Can the line run without an inline extruder? A: Yes. The system can be configured as an offline rewinding station incorporating motorized payoffs, pneumatic tension brakes, and independent meter-counting sensors.
