Executive summary This clip shows our coil wrapping machine on a movable trolley, working at a steel plant. A forklift sets each steel coil on the saddle, the trolley brings the green ring into the coil eye and the coil is wrapped through the eye in blue film while it turns. The close-up shows the film roll on the ring.

What the clip shows
| Step | What you see |
|---|---|
| Loading | A forklift sets the steel coil on the saddle |
| Trolley | The trolley moves the ring into the coil eye |
| Wrap | Blue film passes through the eye as the coil turns |
| Close-up | The film roll on the ring |
| Unload | The trolley backs off and the coil is lifted |
How the trolley helps
- Open loading. The trolley pulls the ring clear for forklift loading.
- Fits the eye. The trolley sets the ring into the coil eye.
- Plant floor ready. Works beside the coil line.
- Sizes vary. Ring and saddle are set to your coils.
Film turns per coil
Worked example (illustrative).
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Coil outer diameter (illustrative) | 1,200 mm |
| Outer circumference, 3.14 × 1,200 | 3,768 mm |
| Film width (illustrative) | 100 mm |
| Overlap (illustrative) | 40% |
| Advance per ring turn, 100 × 0.6 | 60 mm |
| Ring turns per coil revolution, 3,768 ÷ 60 | about 63 |
What we set per coil
| Setting | Depends on |
|---|---|
| Ring size | Coil outer and inner diameter and width |
| Trolley stroke | Coil width |
| Overlap | Protection needed |
| Film | Colour and width |
Selection checklist
- Coil outer and inner diameter.
- Coil width.
- Coil weight.
- Coils per hour.
- Film colour.
- Forklift or crane loading.
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 trolley do? A: It moves the ring into the coil eye and pulls it clear for loading.
Q: How are coils loaded? A: By forklift onto the saddle, as in the clip.
Q: How many ring turns does a coil need? A: About 63 ring turns for a 1,200 mm coil at 40% overlap with 100 mm film in the worked example.
Q: Can it run beside a coil line? A: Yes, it works on the plant floor beside the line.
Q: Which film is used? A: Stretch film; blue film is shown in the clip.
Q: Which standards apply? A: For CE markets, ISO 12100 and EN 415-10.
