Executive summary This clip shows the stations of our slit coil packing lines: a turnstile and eye-through wrapper on blue conveyors, a strapping press station and gantry stackers. Because most of each line is assembled and tested in our workshop, site work is mainly setting, connecting and commissioning. Below is how we plan that work, with an example schedule rather than a fixed promise.

What the clip shows
| Step | What you see |
|---|---|
| Turnstile | Coils from one cut wait on the turnstile |
| Eye-through wrapping | A blue orbital wrapper covers each coil |
| Strapping | A strapping press station bands flat coils |
| Stacking | Gantry stackers build coil stacks |
| Lines | Several of our lines in the workshop |
Work done before the line ships
- Workshop assembly. Each station is assembled and wired in our workshop.
- Test run. The line runs with sample coils before shipping.
- Marked parts. Conveyors and cables are marked for quick fitting.
- Layout drawing. The site gets foundation and power drawings in advance.
Example site schedule
Worked example (illustrative).
| Phase | Days (illustrative) |
|---|---|
| Set stations and conveyors | 4 |
| Connect power, air and cables | 3 |
| Dry run without coils | 2 |
| Run with coils and adjust | 3 |
| Operator training | 2 |
| Total, 4 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 2 | 14 days, about 2 weeks |
Your schedule depends on line size and site readiness.
What the site must prepare
| Item | Prepared by the site |
|---|---|
| Floor | Level floor or foundations to drawing |
| Power | Supply at the main panel |
| Air | Compressed air where needed |
| Lifting | Crane or forklift for setting stations |
Selection checklist
- Coil sizes and weights.
- Stations in the line.
- Floor and foundation state.
- Power and air supply.
- Lifting equipment on site.
- Operators for training.
Safety
- Keep clear of stations during dry runs.
- Lock out before fitting or adjusting.
- Stay outside fenced areas during coil runs.
- For CE markets, the machine is designed to ISO 12100 and EN 415-10.
Engineering FAQ
Q: How long does installation take? A: About 14 days in the example schedule; it depends on line size and site readiness.
Q: Why is site work short? A: Each station is assembled and tested in our workshop first.
Q: What must the site prepare? A: Floor, power, air and lifting equipment.
Q: Is training included? A: Yes, operator training is part of commissioning.
Q: Which stations are in the clip? A: Turnstile, eye-through wrapping, strapping and stacking.
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, stations and site layout, to info@fhopepack.com.
- Receive a proposal within 48 hours with the machine data and layout.
- Book a site survey so we confirm the site readiness.
