Executive summary This clip shows our slit coil packing line. Narrow coils lie eye-up on yellow roller conveyors, a strapping head drops through the eye and bands each coil with PET strap, an orbital ring wraps the coil eye-through with film, and a gantry stacks the finished coils on a pallet. The line is built stiff enough for the coil weight while every contact point is chosen to protect the soft coil edges.

What the clip shows
| Step | What you see |
|---|---|
| Line overview | Our workshop with the packing line and stacker |
| Conveying | Slit coils lie eye-up on yellow roller conveyors |
| Strapping | A strapping head descends through the coil eye and bands the coil with PET strap |
| Wrapping | An orbital ring passes through the eye and wraps the coil in film |
| Stacking | A gantry picks the wrapped coils and stacks them on a pallet |
Rigid frame, gentle contact
| Contact point | How we protect the coil |
|---|---|
| Conveyor rollers | Coils ride flat on the face, not on the edge |
| Strap | PET strap, which does not cut into soft edges like steel strap can |
| Wrapping ring | The film wraps the coil without the ring touching it |
| Stacker gripper | The gripper picks through the eye and sets coils down gently |
The frames and gantry are heavy steel so they stay stiff under the coil load, while the parts that touch the coil are soft or non-contact.
Stack height on the pallet
Worked example (illustrative).
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Coil width (illustrative) | 150 mm |
| Stack height available above the pallet (illustrative) | 1,200 mm |
| Coils per stack, 1,200 ÷ 150 | 8 coils |
| Coil weight (illustrative) | 300 kg |
| Stack weight, 8 × 300 | 2,400 kg |
What we set per line
| Setting | Depends on |
|---|---|
| Strap | PET strap, or steel strap with edge protectors on less sensitive coils |
| Film | Film width and layers |
| Stacking | Coils per stack and pallet pattern |
| Contact parts | Coil surface and edge sensitivity |
Selection checklist
- Coil OD, ID, width and weight.
- Coil surface: steel, stainless, aluminium or copper.
- Straps per coil and strap type.
- Film layers.
- Coils per hour from the slitter.
- Pallet size and stack height.
Safety
- Keep clear of the strapping head and the wrapping ring while they run.
- Stay outside the fenced gantry working area; access is through interlocked gates.
- Lock out before clearing a strap or film 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 straps each slit coil through the eye, wraps it eye-through with film and stacks it on a pallet.
Q: How are the coil edges protected? A: Coils ride flat, PET strap is used, the ring does not touch the coil and the gripper picks through the eye.
Q: Why a rigid frame? A: So the machines stay stiff under coil load and place each coil accurately.
Q: How many coils per stack? A: Stack height available above the pallet divided by coil width; 8 coils of 150 mm in the worked example.
Q: Can it handle copper or aluminium coils? A: Yes. We set strap, film and contact parts to the coil surface.
Q: Which standards apply? A: For CE markets, ISO 12100 and EN 415-10.
Next step
We match a slit coil packing line in three steps:
- Submit your layout drawing with coil sizes, weights, materials 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 slitter exit layout.
