Executive summary This clip shows our pipe coil winding line. Pipe is guided onto the spool of the blue winder, wound to length and cut, and the finished coils are then sealed in film on an L-sealer and shrunk in a tunnel. Visitors inspect the packed coils at the end of the line.

What the clip shows
| Step | What you see |
|---|---|
| Guiding | The pipe runs through the guide onto the spool |
| Winding | The spool turns and lays the pipe |
| Cutting | The pipe is cut at the set length |
| Sealing | Coils are sealed in film on an L-sealer |
| Shrinking | The tunnel tightens the film |
Stations in the line
| Station | Job |
|---|---|
| Winder | Winds pipe to length |
| Guide | Lays pipe evenly |
| Cutter | Cuts at the set length |
| L-sealer and tunnel | Seals and shrinks the coil |
Pipe per coil
Worked example (illustrative).
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Mean coil diameter (illustrative) | 400 mm |
| Pipe per turn, 3.14 × 0.4 | 1.256 m |
| Turns per coil (illustrative) | 40 |
| Pipe per coil, 40 × 1.256 | about 50 m |
What we set per coil
| Setting | Depends on |
|---|---|
| Spool size | Pipe diameter and coil size |
| Length | Metres per coil |
| Film | Shrink film type |
| Tunnel heat | Film and pipe |
Selection checklist
- Pipe outer diameter.
- Metres per coil.
- Coil inner and outer diameter.
- Coils per hour.
- Strap or shrink film.
- Extrusion line speed.
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 the line do? A: It winds pipe into coils, cuts them and seals them in shrink film.
Q: How long is each coil? A: About 50 m with 40 turns on a 400 mm mean diameter in the worked example.
Q: Can the length change? A: Yes, metres per coil are set on the panel.
Q: Why shrink-pack coils? A: Film keeps the coil tight and clean.
Q: Can it follow an extrusion line? A: Yes, winding speed is matched to the line.
Q: Which standards apply? A: For CE markets, ISO 12100 and EN 415-10.
Next step
We match a pipe coil winding line in three steps:
