Executive summary
A long flexible pipe has to be wound into a coil and held, and winding and strapping by hand is slow. This automatic pipe winding and strapping machine coiler takes the pipe over guide rollers onto a coiling disc, winds it into a coil, and straps or holds the coil so it stays together. The operator feeds the pipe and the machine winds and ties the coil under power. Pipe size, coil dimension and strap pattern are confirmed per project.

Why coil and strap a pipe
A flexible pipe is long and takes space when it is laid straight. Winding it into a coil keeps the pipe compact and lets it be handled and shipped as one unit.
Once wound, the coil has to be held closed. Strapping or tying the coil keeps the layers together through handling. Pipe and coil range are confirmed per project.
What the machine does
The machine is an automatic pipe winding and strapping machine coiler. A pipe feeds over guide rollers onto a coiling disc that turns and draws the pipe into a coil. As the coil reaches the set size, clamp arms close to hold it and a tie keeps the coil closed.
The operator starts the cycle and the machine winds and ties under power. Pipe length and coil diameter are confirmed per project.
Guide then wind
Guide rollers lead the pipe from the infeed to the coiling disc. The disc turns and the pipe winds onto itself, layer by layer, until the coil is full.
Guiding the pipe before it winds keeps the coil even and stops the pipe rubbing on the frame. Guide spacing is confirmed per project.
Clamp and tie
When the coil is full, clamp arms close around the outer turns so the coil cannot spring open. A tie is then applied to keep the coil closed for the next steps.
Tying while the coil is clamped holds the outer layer in place. Tie number and position are confirmed per project.
What the footage shows
Our footage shows pipe feeding over guide rollers onto a coiling disc, the coil building up, and the clamp arms closing to hold the wound coil. It is a general demonstration, so your pipe size, coil dimension and tie pattern are confirmed with us per project.
Typical configuration
Figures below list functional design boundaries rather than numeric values, and are confirmed per project.
| Parameter | Typical range, confirmed per project |
|---|---|
| Load | flexible pipe |
| Infeed | guide rollers |
| Winding | coiling disc |
| Hold | clamp arms |
| Tie | strap around coil |
| Electrical supply | 380 V three phase 50 Hz, or 220 V single phase for light machines, selected per project |
Selection checklist
| Question | Confirm per project |
|---|---|
| Load range | pipe diameter, coil size |
| Winding | disc speed, layers |
| Clamp | arm travel, hold force |
| Tie | strap type, position |
| Line | infeed layout |
| Electrical supply | voltage, phase and frequency on site |
Operation and safety
Start the cycle and the pipe winds and ties under power; keep clear of the coiling disc, the clamp arms and the conveyor while the machine runs, with the safety guarding in place.
Routine checks cover the guide rollers, the disc drive, the clamps and the tie unit, per the machine manual. Confirm the pipe setup before each run.
Engineering FAQ
Q: What does this machine do? A: It winds flexible pipe into a coil and holds it with clamp arms and straps.
Q: Why wind a pipe? A: A coil keeps a long pipe compact for handling and shipping.
Q: How is the pipe guided? A: Guide rollers lead the pipe onto the turning disc.
