Executive summary This clip shows our orange slit coil strapping machine on site. A flat slit coil arrives on the roller conveyor, the strap head comes down, and steel strap passes through the coil eye and around the outside before it is tensioned and sealed. Close-ups show the strap guide and head as they work.

What the clip shows
| Step | What you see |
|---|---|
| Infeed | A flat slit coil on the roller conveyor |
| Head down | The strap head lowers to the coil |
| Through the eye | Steel strap passes through the eye and around |
| Seal | The strap is tensioned and sealed |
| Close-ups | Strap guide and head details |
Why strap through the eye
- Holds the wraps. Radial straps stop inner and outer wraps sliding.
- Steel strap. Strong enough for heavy slit coils.
- Flat coil. Strapping eye-vertical keeps the coil stable.
- Inline. The coil stays on the conveyor.
Straps per coil
Worked example (illustrative).
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Straps per coil (illustrative) | 4 |
| Strap cycle (illustrative) | 20 s |
| Index between straps (illustrative) | 5 s |
| Time per coil, 4 × (20 + 5) | 100 s |
| Coils per hour, 3,600 ÷ 100 | 36 |
What we set per coil
| Setting | Depends on |
|---|---|
| Straps | Number per coil |
| Strap | Steel width and thickness |
| Index | Coil rotation between straps |
| Conveyor | Coil size |
Selection checklist
- Coil OD, ID, width and weight.
- Straps per coil.
- Strap size.
- Coils per hour.
- Line layout.
- Wrapping after strapping or not.
Safety
- Keep clear of the strap head while it moves.
- Wear gloves when handling steel strap.
- Lock out before clearing a strap jam.
- For CE markets, the machine is designed to ISO 12100 and EN 415-10.
Engineering FAQ
Q: How does it strap a slit coil? A: Steel strap passes through the eye and around the outside.
Q: Why through the eye? A: Radial straps hold the inner and outer wraps.
Q: How many coils per hour? A: 36 with 4 straps per coil in the worked example.
Q: Which strap does it use? A: Steel strap, as in the clip.
Q: Does the coil leave the conveyor? A: No, it stays inline.
Q: Which standards apply? A: For CE markets, ISO 12100 and EN 415-10.
Next step
