Hose Wrapping Machine and Pipe Coil Packing Machine: Planning the Station

Executive summary Our hose wrapping machines wrap film through the eye of a hose or plastic pipe coil while rollers turn it. The wrap itself takes 20–35 s per coil on the FPH-200N, so loading and unloading usually decide output per shift. We plan the station around coil size, operator moves and changeovers.

How the coil wrapper works

The coil sits on drive rollers, and a ring opens through the coil eye. As the rollers turn the coil and the ring rotates, film spirals through the eye and around the coil wall until the whole coil is covered. On the FPH-300N, a special brake keeps the film running smoothly, and the wrapping tension is adjustable.

Because the coil turns while the ring rotates, each pass of film lands at a new point, so the ring and roller speeds together set the coverage. Our video shows this on a black pipe coil.

Which model fits the coil

Parameter FPH-200N FPH-300N
Coil ID 250–650 mm 300–700 mm
Coil OD 450–800 mm 500–1,000 mm
Coil width 120–280 mm 100–300 mm
Coil weight 5–30 kg 10–100 kg
Wrap time per coil 20–35 s 23–35 s
Max ring speed 100 r/min 120 r/min

Illustrative examples: a 15 kg garden hose coil of 300 mm ID and 500 mm OD fits the FPH-200N. A 60 kg pipe coil needs the FPH-300N because it is over 30 kg.

Coils per shift

At 20–35 s of wrapping, the machine is fast. The operator’s moves set the real pace. Illustrative example with 30 s to place the coil and take it off:

Step Fast coil Slow coil
Wrap 20 s 35 s
Load and unload (illustrative) 30 s 30 s
Total cycle 50 s 65 s
Coils per hour 72 about 55
Coils per 8 h shift 576 about 443

These are run-time figures before breaks and film roll changes. If you need more, an automatic film cutter and feeder removes the film-start and film-cut steps, and conveyors remove the lifting.

Changeovers between coil sizes

The FPH-300N has a reset function that returns the ring to its start position, which makes changeovers between different hose coils fast. Its speed is set by a frequency converter, and overlap is adjustable from 10% to 90%, so you can set a lighter wrap for short-haul coils and a heavier one for export. It runs in manual or automatic mode. We confirm the FPH-200N’s changeover features in the proposal.

Film and material

Item FPH-200N FPH-300N
Stretch film width 60–80 mm 90–100 mm
Film roll OD 100–140 mm 100–180 mm
Film core ID 50 mm 50 mm
Other materials paper (optional) paper or HDPE (optional)
Overlap confirmed in proposal 10–90%

Utilities and safety

The FPH-300N has a safety guardrail, and the FPH-300N options include a light beam and a logo tape applicator. The standards that apply depend on the destination market. For CE markets, ISO 12100 sets the risk-assessment method and EN 415-10 sets general requirements for packaging machines.

Selection checklist for a hose coil station

  • Coil ID, OD, width and weight.
  • Coils per shift needed.
  • Manual loading or conveyors.
  • Automatic film cutter and feeder, yes or no.
  • Film, paper or HDPE.
  • Logo tape on the coil.

Engineering FAQ

Q: How long does wrapping one hose coil take? A: 20–35 s on the FPH-200N and 23–35 s on the FPH-300N.

Q: How many coils can one operator pack per shift? A: About 443–576 in 8 h with 30 s for loading and unloading, before breaks.

Q: When do we need the FPH-300N? A: For coils over 30 kg, up to 100 kg, or over 800 mm OD.

Q: How fast is a changeover to a new coil size? A: On the FPH-300N, the reset function returns the ring to its start position, so changeovers between coils are quick.

Q: Can we print our logo on the wrap? A: The FPH-300N offers a logo tape applicator as an option.

Next step

We plan your hose coil station in three steps:

  1. Submit your layout drawing with coil ID, OD, width and weight and coils per shift to info@fhopepack.com.
  2. Receive a proposal within 48 hours, with the model, options and station layout.
  3. Book a site survey to fit the station to your line.
