Executive summary This clip shows our wire coil strapping lines in a large wire plant. Many lines run side by side; on each, wire coils travel along yellow roller conveyors through strapping stations that band them, then move on to the line end. With many drawing machines, each strapping line serves a group of them.

What the clip shows
| Step | What you see |
|---|---|
| Hall | Many coil lines side by side in a large wire plant |
| Conveying | Coils travel on yellow roller conveyors |
| Strapping | Strapping stations band each coil |
| Operators | Staff move between lines |
| Outfeed | Strapped coils reach the line end |
Why many short lines
- Short routes. Each line sits near its drawing machines.
- No single choke point. One line stopping does not stop the plant.
- Shared design. All lines share spare parts.
- Step-by-step growth. Add lines as you add drawing machines.
How many lines
Worked example (illustrative).
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Plant output (illustrative) | 600 coils per hour |
| One strapping line (illustrative) | 80 coils per hour |
| Lines needed, 600 ÷ 80 | 7.5, so 8 lines |
| Coils per line at 8 lines, 600 ÷ 8 | 75 coils per hour |
| Coil weight (illustrative) | 1,000 kg |
| Tonnes per line, 75 × 1,000 kg | 75 t per hour |
What we set per plant
| Setting | Depends on |
|---|---|
| Straps per coil | Coil weight and transport |
| Strap | PET or steel |
| Conveyor | Coil size and layout |
| Line count | Plant output |
Selection checklist
- Coil OD, ID, height and weight.
- Straps per coil.
- Plant output.
- Drawing machines per line.
- Floor layout.
- PET or steel strap.
Safety
- Keep clear of strapping heads while they move.
- Stay off roller conveyors.
- Lock out before clearing a strap jam.
- For CE markets, the machine is designed to ISO 12100 and EN 415-10.
Engineering FAQ
Q: Why many lines instead of one? A: Short routes, no single choke point, and lines grow with the plant.
Q: How many lines does a plant need? A: Plant output divided by line rate; 8 lines in the worked example.
Q: What strap is used? A: PET or steel, chosen by coil weight and transport.
Q: Can lines be added later? A: Yes, as drawing machines are added.
Q: Do lines share parts? A: Yes, all lines use the same design and spares.
Q: Which standards apply? A: For CE markets, ISO 12100 and EN 415-10.
