Executive summary This long clip walks through one of our slit coil packing lines. Yellow tilters turn coils to eye-vertical, a wrapper covers each coil through the eye, operators run the line from control panels, and coils move station to station on green conveyors. Packing slit coils eye-vertical makes them stable and easy to stack.

What the clip shows
| Step | What you see |
|---|---|
| Tilting | Yellow tilters turn coils to eye-vertical |
| Wrapping | A wrapper covers each coil through the eye |
| Control | Operators at the control panels |
| Conveying | Coils move on green conveyors |
| Stacking | Coils stack at the line end |
Why pack eye-vertical
- Stable. A flat coil cannot roll.
- Stackable. Narrow coils stack several high.
- Compact. Eye-vertical coils take less floor space.
- Pallet ready. Stacks sit straight on pallets.
Line pace
Worked example (illustrative).
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Coils per slitting cut (illustrative) | 12 |
| Cuts per hour (illustrative) | 5 |
| Coils per hour, 12 × 5 | 60 |
| Time per coil, 3,600 ÷ 60 | 60 s |
What we set per line
| Setting | Depends on |
|---|---|
| Tilter | Coil weight |
| Wrapping | Layers and overlap |
| Stacking | Stack height |
| Conveyor | Coils per hour |
Selection checklist
- Coil OD, ID, width and weight.
- Coils per cut.
- Cuts per hour.
- Film layers.
- Stack height.
- Layout.
Safety
- Keep clear of moving stations.
- Stay outside the fence while the line runs.
- Lock out before clearing a jam.
- For CE markets, the machine is designed to ISO 12100 and EN 415-10.
Engineering FAQ
Q: What does vertical packing mean? A: Coils are packed eye-vertical, lying flat.
Q: Why eye-vertical? A: Flat coils cannot roll and stack easily.
Q: What pace must the line keep? A: 60 s per coil for the whole line in the worked example, with buffers between stations.
Q: Can strapping be added? A: Yes, before wrapping.
Q: Does it take a whole cut? A: Yes, a turnstile can hold the coils from one cut.
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, coils per cut and cuts 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.
