Executive summary This video shows a hose coiling machine winding a blue flexible hose into a neat, tight coil, secured with white plastic straps, in roughly 30 seconds of footage. The operator only feeds the hose at the start and touches the finished coil at the end. Key structural details — guide rollers, dual guide posts, a dual-wheel pulling unit, and a simple three-button control panel — are visible below.
If you coile hose by hand, you know the problems: uneven coils, kinked product, tired arms, and slow turnaround. This video from FHOPE shows a machine built to solve exactly that. Below we walk through what the footage actually shows, what it does not show, and the questions a buyer should ask before making a decision.
What the video shows: the machine in action, second by second
The footage runs a little over 30 seconds and follows one complete coiling cycle. Here is what happens, based on frame-by-frame analysis:
| Time | What is visible |
|---|---|
| ~0s | Wide shot of the workshop floor: machine column, white base rollers, blue hose on the ground, yellow-black hazard tape |
| ~3s | An operator’s arm reaches toward the control area; the blue hose enters the machine’s infeed zone |
| ~6–12s | The hose passes through a metal guide structure; a large polished stainless guide roller rotates and lays the hose in a spiral |
| ~15s | The hose moves past two vertical stainless guide posts toward the dual yellow-wheel unit on the right |
| ~18s | Wide shot of the full machine layout, with the yellow wheel pair at center and a take-up platform below |
| ~21–24s | Hose continues steadily through the guide roller and guide post system; a clamping structure moves slightly |
| ~27s | Close-up of the finished coil: a full roll of blue hose, neatly stacked in concentric layers, held by white plastic straps |
| ~30s | A hand gently touches the coil edge to confirm its shape before handling |
The hose travels in one consistent direction throughout. It enters horizontally, is corrected and tensioned by the guide system, then winds inward in a spiral path. No twisting, crossing, or deformation of the hose is visible at any point.
Direct observation notes
The following observations stay close to the frame-by-frame analysis, with only light grammatical editing:
- The machine frame is black-painted metal; the operator-side work surface is a light off-white panel; guide rails and guiding parts are polished stainless steel.
- Main components visible: a large-diameter stainless guide roller with a spoked hub (left), two vertical stainless guide posts at center (for aligning the hose axis), a dual yellow-wheel unit on the right (rubber/urethane-covered rims on metal shafts), and a take-up/tensioning device at the bottom, partly obscured.
- The control panel is mounted at the upper right, tilted for access, with three raised industrial buttons: a red circular button on top (possibly emergency stop), a yellow square button in the middle, and a green circular button at the bottom (possibly start). No screen or digital display is visible.
- The product is a flexible polymer hose (possibly PVC, PU, or silicone) in a uniform bright blue, with a smooth, slightly matte surface.
- Relative proportions: hose outer diameter roughly 20–25 mm compared with a guide roller of roughly 300 mm; the finished coil is roughly 400–500 mm in outer diameter with a core of roughly 200 mm, wound in roughly 15–20 layers.
- The finished coil is secured with several white plastic straps. The hose stays round and evenly stacked, with no visible crush marks.
- Safety equipment observed: yellow-black hazard tape on the floor near the machine. No physical guarding around the rotating rollers, no light curtain, no door interlock, and no warning labels are visible in the footage.
- No readable text, nameplate, watermark, or certification mark appears in any frame.
How the coiling process works
Based on the sequence, the cycle has five stages:
- Feeding (~3s): the operator manually feeds the hose end into the machine inlet, resting it on the first guide posts.
- Guiding and tensioning (~6–12s): the hose is led over the large stainless guide roller and through the dual guide posts, which correct its axis and control tension.
- Coiling (~15–24s): the hose passes the dual yellow-wheel unit and is pulled by the take-up mechanism below, winding inward in a spiral path.
- Finishing and strapping (~27–30s): once the coil reaches its set diameter, feeding stops and white plastic straps are applied to hold the coil.
- Removal (~30s): an operator touches the finished coil to check it and prepares to move it.
The entire process is continuous with no visible interruption. No automatic unloading or transfer mechanism is shown — the finished coil is handled manually.
What the video does not show
The footage is a single continuous shop-floor shot, so several things a buyer would want to know are simply not observable:
- Rated power, voltage, and frequency
- Maximum coil diameter, hose length capacity, and coil weight
- Cycle time per coil and maximum line speed
- Machine model designation, manufacturer nameplate, or serial number
- Safety certifications (CE, UL, CCC) or compliance markings
- Motor, gearbox, or PLC specifications
- Hose material compatibility details, pressure ratings, or temperature range
- Whether automatic coil changeover, remote monitoring, or data logging is supported
Any of these details should be verified with the manufacturer before purchase decisions are made.
Where this machine fits
Judging from the product and process shown, this type of machine suits:
- Pneumatic and fluid hose producers who need consistent, presentable coils for retail or industrial distribution
- Line-end packaging where coils must be wound quickly and strapped for transport or storage
- Medium-batch operations where one operator can feed hose and handle finished coils while the machine winds
Compared with hand coiling, the visible benefits are coil consistency (the finished roll is even and round, with no twists), reduced deformation risk in transit (thanks to the strapping), and lower physical workload — the operator only feeds the hose at the start and removes the coil at the end.
Limitations visible in the footage: the rotating roller areas have no physical guarding; there is no visible parameter display, so coil diameter appears to be judged visually; and no automatic unloading is shown. These are fair points to raise directly with the supplier.
Buyer checklist: what to verify before ordering
Use this list when contacting the manufacturer:
- Which hose diameters and materials does this model support? (The footage shows a hose of roughly 20–25 mm outer diameter.)
- What are the rated speed, cycle time, and maximum coil dimensions?
- Is CE or other export-market certification available?
- What safety guarding options are offered for the roller and wheel areas?
- Is the strapping step manual, semi-automatic, or automatic on this model?
- What after-sales documentation, spares list, and fault-diagnosis features are included?
FAQ
How fast does the machine coil a hose? The video shows one complete cycle within roughly 30 seconds of footage, but exact cycle time and line speed are not stated on screen. Check with the manufacturer for rated throughput figures.
Does the machine strap the coil automatically? White plastic straps are visible on the finished coil, but the footage does not capture how they are applied. Check with the manufacturer whether strapping is automatic or manual.
What hose sizes can it handle? The hose in the video appears to be roughly 20–25 mm in diameter, wound into a coil of roughly 400–500 mm. Compatibility with other sizes is to be confirmed with the manufacturer.
Is there a control screen or programmable settings? No screen or digital display is visible — only three buttons (red, yellow, green). Any counting, length-setting, or diagnostic functions would need to be confirmed with the manufacturer.
What safety features does it have? Only floor hazard tape is visible. There is no visible guarding, light curtain, or interlock on the moving rollers — a topic worth discussing with the supplier before installation.
Source and method
This article is based solely on the embedded video. The footage was analyzed frame by frame using a vision model on sampled stills; the video contains background music only, with no narration or speech, so no transcript was used. All observations above come from what is visible in the frames; anything not observable is explicitly marked for verification with the manufacturer.

Next step
If you produce hose or coiled products and want to see whether this machine matches your diameter, coil size, and throughput requirements, contact the FHOPE team with your specifications. Share your hose diameter and target coil dimensions, and ask for the rated speed, guarding options, and certification details listed in the checklist above.
