Executive summary This clip follows wire from the drawing blocks to a strapped coil on our line. A coiler lays the drawn wire into a coil, a conveyor carries the coil to a strapping press, and the press compresses it while the strapping head bands it. The compact, strapped coil then leaves on the outfeed conveyor.

What the clip shows
| Step | What you see |
|---|---|
| Drawing | Blue wire drawing blocks |
| Coiling | The coiler lays wire into a coil |
| Transfer | The coil moves on the conveyor |
| Press strapping | The press compresses and straps the coil |
| Outfeed | Strapped coils leave the press |
Why compress before strapping
- Smaller coil. Compression lowers coil height for storage and transport.
- Tight straps. Straps lock in the compressed height.
- Stable stacking. Flat, firm coils stack safely.
- Less damage. Loose wire does not catch or tangle.
Strap count
Worked example (illustrative).
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Loose coil height (illustrative) | 1,000 mm |
| Compressed height (illustrative) | 800 mm |
| Height saved, 1,000 − 800 | 200 mm, 20% |
| Straps per coil (illustrative) | 4 |
| Coils per hour (illustrative) | 30 |
| Straps per hour, 4 × 30 | 120 |
What we set per coil
| Setting | Depends on |
|---|---|
| Press force | Wire size and coil weight |
| Straps | Number per coil |
| Strap | PET or steel |
| Conveyor | Coil size |
Selection checklist
- Wire diameter.
- Coil OD, ID, height and weight.
- Compressed height wanted.
- Straps per coil.
- Coils per hour.
- PET or steel strap.
Safety
- Keep clear of the press while it closes.
- Stay out of the coiler area while it runs.
- Lock out before clearing a jam.
- For CE markets, the machine is designed to ISO 12100 and EN 415-10.
Engineering FAQ
Q: Why compress the coil? A: It lowers coil height and makes the coil firm for stacking.
Q: How much height is saved? A: It depends on wire size, coil density and press force; 200 mm, 20%, in the worked example.
Q: How many straps per coil? A: 4 in the worked example; set per coil.
Q: Does the line include coiling? A: Yes, the clip starts at the coiler after the drawing blocks.
Q: Which strap does it use? A: PET or steel, set per coil.
Q: Which standards apply? A: For CE markets, ISO 12100 and EN 415-10.
Next step
We match a wire coil strapping line in three steps:
