Coil wrapping machine for big cable coil with extremely large width

Mastering Oversized Loads: The FHOPE Horizontal Wrapping Machine for Wide & Heavy Cable Coils

Handling large-diameter, heavy, and exceptionally wide cable coils presents significant logistical and protective challenges, particularly for materials destined for demanding environments like construction sites. Ensuring these valuable assets remain undamaged during storage and transit is paramount. FHOPE Pack addresses this critical need with a specialized horizontal coil wrapping machine engineered specifically for these oversized loads.

1. The Challenge: Protecting High-Value, Bulky Cable Coils

Standard packaging methods often fall short when dealing with cable coils characterized by:

• Extreme Weight: Requiring robust handling and wrapping capabilities.
• Large Diameter: Demanding a machine with sufficient wrapping ring clearance.
• Significant Width: Posing challenges for achieving consistent, protective wrap coverage across the entire face and bore of the coil.
• Susceptibility to Damage: Risk of abrasion, moisture ingress, UV degradation, and handling damage during storage and transport.

Industries like construction, power transmission, and marine engineering frequently encounter these challenges, needing reliable solutions to safeguard their substantial cable investments.

2. FHOPE's Engineered Solution: The Horizontal Axis Coil Wrapper

FHOPE's coil wrapping machine employs a horizontal axis design, specifically advantageous for large and heavy coils. This configuration simplifies the loading and unloading process, often integrated with conveyors or requiring minimal assistance from overhead cranes or forklifts, thereby enhancing operational safety and efficiency.

3. Key Technical Features and Operational Advantages

This machine series is designed with performance and adaptability in mind:

• Heavy-Duty Construction: Built to withstand the rigors of industrial environments and manage substantial coil weights.
• Wide Coil Accommodation: Engineered with an appropriately sized wrapping ring and support structure to handle coils with exceptionally large widths, ensuring complete coverage.
• Variable Wrapping Materials: Compatible with standard stretch film, but can often be configured for VCI (Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor) film for enhanced corrosion protection, or even paper/woven materials depending on application requirements.
• Customizable Automation Levels:
  • Semi-Automatic: Requires operator intervention for loading, cycle initiation, and unloading.
  • Fully-Automatic: Can be integrated into production lines with automated coil feeding, wrapping, labeling (optional), and discharge systems, minimizing manual input.
• Precise Film Tension Control: Advanced tensioning systems ensure the stretch film is applied with consistent force, providing secure containment without damaging the cable or collapsing the coil eye. This optimizes film usage and guarantees load stability.
• User-Friendly Controls: Typically features a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) with an HMI (Human-Machine Interface) touch screen for intuitive operation, parameter adjustments (e.g., wrap counts, overlap percentage, tension), and diagnostics.
• Conveyor Integration: Designed for seamless connection with input and output conveyor systems, facilitating smooth material flow and integration into larger automated packaging lines or palletizing systems.
  

  

  4. Operational Experience: Streamlining the Wrapping Process

From an operator's perspective, the horizontal design significantly simplifies handling.

1. Loading: The coil is typically rolled or conveyed onto the input rollers. The horizontal orientation eliminates the need for complex lifting and tilting maneuvers often required with vertical wrappers for such large products.
2. Wrapping Cycle: Once the coil is positioned, the operator initiates the cycle via the HMI. The wrapping ring travels through the coil's eye, applying the stretch film layers according to pre-set parameters. The coil may rotate on support rollers to ensure even coverage around the circumference.
3. Film Management: Automatic film clamp and cut units (common on higher automation levels) secure the film tail at the start and cut it cleanly at the end of the cycle, preparing the machine for the next coil.
4. Unloading: The fully wrapped coil is discharged onto an output conveyor or is easily accessible for removal by forklift or crane.

This streamlined process reduces manual effort, minimizes the risk of handling errors, and significantly increases throughput compared to manual wrapping methods.

5. Tangible Benefits for Heavy Cable Industries

Investing in a specialized FHOPE coil wrapping machine delivers measurable advantages:

• Superior Product Protection: Consistent, tight wrapping shields cables from dust, moisture, UV rays, and physical damage during handling, storage, and shipping.
• Reduced Labor Costs: Automation significantly decreases the manual labor required for wrapping, freeing up personnel for other tasks.
• Improved Productivity: Faster wrapping cycles compared to manual methods lead to higher throughput and operational efficiency.
• Enhanced Safety: Minimizes manual handling of heavy and awkward loads, reducing the risk of workplace injuries.
• Optimized Material Usage: Precise tension control and programmable overlap ensure efficient use of stretch film, reducing packaging material costs.
• Professional Package Presentation: Uniformly wrapped coils present a more professional appearance to end customers.
