Executive summary Our automatic coil wrapper takes hose coils, pipe coils and reels off a roller conveyor and wraps film through the eye. The standalone wrapper runs 20–40 s per coil, and a full coiling-to-palletizing line runs about 30 coils per hour. The coil eye, the coil OD and your extrusion rate decide the model and the layout.

How the inline wrapper works
Our automatic coil wrapper stands over a roller conveyor. The coil lies flat, the wrapper centers and secures it without manual help, and a vertical ring passes through the coil eye while rollers turn the coil. Frequency converters set the ring and roller speeds, and the PLC and touch screen hold preset programs for each coil size.
Because coils arrive and leave on conveyors, nobody lifts them between coiling and wrapping. Our video shows hose coils and reels running through this sequence under the guarded wrapping head.
Eye and coil windows
The ring has to pass through the coil eye, so the eye (ID) is the first check. For a reel, the eye is the core bore.
| Parameter | Packing line standard | FPH-300N | FPH-400W |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coil ID | 350–400 mm | 300–700 mm | 300–1,250 mm |
| Coil OD | 500–650 mm | 500–1,000 mm | 700–1,500 mm |
| Coil width | 150–250 mm | 100–300 mm | 150–400 mm |
| Coil weight | 8–50 kg (up to 300 kg on heavy-duty lines) | 10–100 kg | 10–100 kg |
| Time per coil | 20–40 s standalone | 23–35 s | 30–55 s |
| Max ring speed | confirmed in proposal | 120 r/min | 100 r/min |
Illustrative examples: a hose coil of 400 mm ID, 600 mm OD and 200 mm width fits the standard line and the FPH-300N. A large reel with a 900 mm bore and 1,300 mm OD needs the FPH-400W.
Seconds per coil versus extrusion rate
The wrapper is rarely the bottleneck. Compare its cycle with how often your extruder finishes a coil:
- Wrapper. At 20–40 s per coil, a standalone wrapper can handle 90–180 coils per hour.
- Full line. Coiling, strapping, wrapping and palletizing together run about 30 coils per hour.
- Extruder (illustrative). 100 m coils at a line speed of 20 m/min make one coil every 5 min, or 12 coils per hour.
So for this example, one wrapper serves the extruder with time to spare. We check the numbers for your lines before deciding whether one wrapper can serve two extruders.
Line modules
| Module | What it does |
|---|---|
| Automatic hose and pipe coiler | feeds, tensions, cuts and forms coils of PVC, CPVC or PEX inline with the extruder |
| Precision tensioner | keeps pipe length accurate and coils evenly tight |
| Automatic layering | winds organized multi-layer coils |
| 180° turning system | rotates finished coils automatically for immediate strapping or wrapping |
| Automatic coil wrapper | wraps film to protect coils from dust, moisture and scratches |
Film and material
| Item | Specification |
|---|---|
| Wrapping material | LLDPE stretch film, PE, PVC or woven tape |
| Overlap | 10–90%, set on the HMI |
| FPH-300N film roll | 90–100 mm wide, 100–180 mm OD, 50 mm core |
| FPH-400W film roll | 90–120 mm wide, 100–150 mm OD, 50 mm core |
Utilities and safety
| Utility | Packing line | FPH-300N | FPH-400W |
|---|---|---|---|
| Power supply | 380 V, 50 Hz, 3 phase | 380 V, 60 Hz, 3 phase | 380 V, 60 Hz, 3 phase |
| Power | confirmed in proposal | 1.9 kW | 1.5 kW |
| Compressed air | 6–8 kgf/cm² | confirmed in proposal | confirmed in proposal |
A guardrail surrounds the wrapping head. Power figures are as listed on each model page. 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 an inline coil wrapper
- Coil or reel ID, OD and width.
- Heaviest coil.
- Coils per hour per extruder.
- Film, PVC or woven tape.
- Coiler, strapper and palletizer in the same line.
- Conveyor height and floor space.
Engineering FAQ
Q: Can the same wrapper take reels and coils? A: Yes, if the reel bore is at least 300 mm, the smallest eye our FPH wrappers take, and the reel width is inside the model’s width window.
Q: How fast is the wrapper? A: 20–40 s per coil standalone, or about 30 coils per hour as part of a full line.
Q: Will one wrapper keep up with our extruder? A: Usually. At 12 coils per hour from the extruder, a 20–40 s wrapper has spare capacity.
Q: What is the largest reel you wrap? A: The FPH-400W takes 300–1,250 mm ID and 700–1,500 mm OD, up to 100 kg.
Q: Does the line need compressed air? A: Yes, the packing line uses 6–8 kgf/cm².
