Executive summary
A wound pipe or hose coil has to be packed so it stays tight and clean, and a coil wrapping machine holds the coil while film is laid around it. This machine carries the pipe coil on a rotating support, releases film from a side roll through guide rollers, and wraps it around the coil as the support turns. The operator positions the coil and starts the cycle, and the machine packs it under power. Coil size, film width and wrap layers are confirmed per project.

Why pack a pipe coil
A pipe wound into a coil is loose on its outer layers and collects dirt in handling. A film cover holds the outer layer and keeps the coil clean until it is used.
Packing the coil with a machine covers the full surface more evenly than hand wrapping. Coil range is confirmed per project.
What the machine does
The machine is a coil wrapping machine used to pack a pipe coil. The coil is carried on a rotating support, and film releases from a side roll through guide rollers. As the support turns, the film is laid around the coil from top to bottom, building the cover in layers.
The operator positions the coil and starts the cycle; the machine packs it under power. Coil diameter and wrap layers are confirmed per project.
Coil on a rotating support
The coil sits on a rotating support with a pair of support rollers that carry it during the wrap. Turning the coil lets the film cover the whole outer surface without moving the film head around the coil.
Support and drive range are confirmed per project.
Film over the coil
Film feeds from a reel on the side through yellow and white guide rollers, forming a loop that travels along the coil as the support turns. The film is kept under tension so the layer fits close.
Guiding the film in a loop keeps the layer even around the coil profile. Film width and tension are confirmed per project.
What the footage shows
Our footage shows a pipe coil set on the rotating support, film feeding from the side through guide rollers, and the coil turning as the film is laid around it. It is a general demonstration, so your coil size, film and wrap layers are confirmed with us per project.
Typical configuration
Figures below list functional design boundaries rather than numeric values, and are confirmed per project.
| Parameter | Typical range, confirmed per project |
|---|---|
| Load | pipe coil on support |
| Turning | rotating support, rollers |
| Film | side reel, guided loop |
| Cover | top to bottom layers |
| Guarding | fenced working area |
| Electrical supply | 380 V three phase 50 Hz, or 220 V single phase for light machines, selected per project |
Selection checklist
| Question | Confirm per project |
|---|---|
| Load range | coil diameter, width, weight |
| Film | width, grade, tension |
| Layers | top to bottom count |
| Support | roller size, speed |
| Guarding | site layout |
| Electrical supply | voltage, phase and frequency on site |
Operation and safety
Position the coil on the support and start the cycle from the control; the support turns and the film wraps under power. Keep clear of the support, the film path and the guide rollers while the machine runs, with the safety guarding closed.
Routine checks cover the support drive, the rollers, the film feed and the tension system, per the machine manual. Confirm the film setup against the coil before each run.
Engineering FAQ
Q: What does this machine do? A: It packs a pipe coil by turning it and laying film around it.
Q: Why wrap a pipe coil? A: Film keeps the outer layer tight and the coil clean.
Q: How is the coil turned? A: A rotating support carries the coil on rollers during the wrap.
Q: How is the film applied? A: Film feeds from a side reel through guide rollers as the coil turns.
Q: What does it suit? A: Pipe and hose coils.
