Automatic Wire Coil Strapping Line: Compacting, Strapping, Wrapping and Tilting

Executive summary This clip shows our automatic wire coil strapping and packing line. Bright wire coils stand on a turntable under a blue vertical press that compacts and straps them, roll on to a turntable wrapper controlled from an HMI panel, and are then tilted by an upender onto an eye wrapper. Roller conveyors link the stations.

What the clip shows

Step What you see
Compacting A vertical press holds the coil stack down
Strapping Straps are fitted while the coil is pressed
Wrapping A turntable wrapper wraps the coil outside
Tilting An upender tilts the coil 90°
Eye wrap An eye wrapper ring passes film through the eye

Selection checklist

  • Coil outer and inner diameter.
  • Coil height and weight.
  • Coils per hour.
  • Straps per coil.
  • Film or no film.
  • Line layout.

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 compacts, straps, wraps and tilts wire coils, then wraps them through the eye.

Q: Why compact the coil? A: Pressing holds loose wire tight while straps go on.

Q: How many coils per hour? A: 40 coils per hour at a 90 s slowest station in the worked example.

Q: Why tilt the coil? A: The upender lays it on its side for eye wrapping.

Q: Can stations be left out? A: Yes, outer wrap and eye wrap are chosen per packing spec, either or both.

Q: Which standards apply? A: For CE markets, ISO 12100 and EN 415-10.
