Executive summary This clip follows drawn wire into a coil and on to packing on our line. The coiler lays the wire into a coil, roller conveyors carry it to the wrapping station, and the coil leaves covered in yellow film. Wrapping straight after coiling keeps the wire clean and dry before storage.

What the clip shows
| Step | What you see |
|---|---|
| Coiling | The coiler lays drawn wire into a coil |
| Conveying | Coils move on roller conveyors |
| Wrapping | A wrapping station covers each coil in yellow film |
| Outfeed | Wrapped coils leave the line |
| Line | Blue stations along the conveyor |
Why wrap straight after coiling
- Clean wire. Film keeps dust off straight away.
- Dry wire. Less rust in storage.
- No waiting. Coils go from coiler to film with no buffer stock.
- Colour coding. Film colour can mark wire grade.
Coil sizes and pace
Worked example (illustrative).
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Coil OD (illustrative) | 800 mm |
| Coil ID (illustrative) | 500 mm |
| Coil height (illustrative) | 400 mm |
| Coils per hour (illustrative) | 40 |
| Film overlap (illustrative) | 50% |
| Time per coil at the wrapper, 3,600 ÷ 40 | 90 s |
What we set per coil
| Setting | Depends on |
|---|---|
| Machine and ring size | Chosen for the largest coil |
| Film | Colour and layers |
| Overlap | Storage time |
| Conveyor | Coils per hour |
Selection checklist
- Wire diameter.
- Coil OD, ID, height and weight.
- Film colour and layers.
- Coils per hour.
- Strapping needed or not.
- Layout after the coiler.
Safety
- Keep clear of moving stations.
- Stay outside the fence while the line runs.
- Lock out before clearing a jam.
- For CE markets, the machine is designed to ISO 12100 and EN 415-10.
Engineering FAQ
Q: What does the line do? A: It coils drawn wire and wraps each coil in film.
Q: Why wrap right after coiling? A: To keep the wire clean and dry from the start.
Q: Can film colour vary? A: Yes, colour can mark the wire grade.
Q: Can strapping be added? A: Yes, before wrapping.
Q: What sets line speed? A: Coils per hour from the drawing machines.
Q: Which standards apply? A: For CE markets, ISO 12100 and EN 415-10.
Next step
We match a wire packing line in three steps:
- Submit your layout drawing with wire sizes, coil sizes and coils per hour, to info@fhopepack.com.
- Receive a proposal within 48 hours with the machine data and layout.
- Book a site survey so we confirm the drawing line exit.
