Executive summary
A pipe coil is wound as a large round package, and holding its outer surface clean during storage and transport needs wrapping. This horizontal coil wrapping machine feeds the coil into a ring wrapping station, where a rotating mechanism applies stretch film around the circumference. Strapping can be added on the line per project, while the footage shows the wrapping step as a general demonstration. Coil diameter, width, film and the strapping choice are confirmed per project.

Why wrap a pipe coil
A pipe coil is large and round, and its outer surface can be marked or scratched while the coil is handled and stacked. A protective film wrap keeps the surface clean without wrapping the coil by hand.
Pairing the wrap with strapping holds the package together on long transport. Both wrapping and the optional strapping step are confirmed per project.
What the machine does
The machine is a horizontal coil wrapping machine. The pipe coil is fed into a ring wrapping station, and a rotating mechanism inside the station applies stretch film around the outer circumference while the coil stays in place.
The operator starts the cycle from a control cabinet beside the machine. Coil diameter, width and film choice are confirmed per project.
Ring wrapping station
The coil enters a circular wrapping station guarded by a welded safety fence. Rollers guide and support the coil while the rotating ring mechanism applies stretch film around the circumference.
The film builds around the outer surface as the ring turns, so the heavy coil does not need to spin. Wrap tension and the number of layers are confirmed per project.
Infeed and control
An operator feeds the coil into the station by hand, guiding the material into the wrapping area, and a second operator can watch the cycle from the control side. The cycle runs from a control cabinet with buttons and an indicator light, and a red manual lever sits at the top of the machine.
A strapping step can be added on the line per project to secure the wrapped coil for transport. Infeed access and the strapping pattern are confirmed per project.
What the footage shows
Our footage shows a large round coil being fed into the guarded ring station and stretch film applied around its circumference during the wrapping step. It is a general demonstration, so your coil diameter, width and film choice are confirmed with us per project.
Typical configuration
Figures below list functional design boundaries rather than numeric values, and are confirmed per project.
| Parameter | Typical range, confirmed per project |
|---|---|
| Load | pipe coil, round bundle |
| Wrapping | ring station with stretch film |
| Feed | manual infeed into station |
| Strapping | optional, per project |
| Mount | floor, guarded station |
| Electrical supply | 380 V three phase 50 Hz, or 220 V single phase for light machines, selected per project |
Selection checklist
| Question | Confirm per project |
|---|---|
| Coil range | outside diameter, width, weight |
| Film | width, thickness, wrap layers |
| Wrapping | ring speed, tension |
| Strapping | strap type, pattern per project |
| Site | infeed access, floor space |
| Electrical supply | voltage, phase and frequency on site |
Operation and safety
Feed the coil into the guarded station, start the cycle from the control cabinet, and watch the wrap from a clear position. Keep clear of the rotating ring and the infeed area while the machine runs.
Routine checks cover the rollers, the ring mechanism and the fence, per the machine manual. Confirm the coil is seated before each cycle.
Engineering FAQ
Q: What does this machine do? A: It wraps a large pipe coil by applying stretch film around its circumference.
Q: How does the wrap go around? A: The coil sits in a ring station and the rotating mechanism applies the film outside it.
Q: Why ring wrapping instead of turning the coil? A: The ring turns around the coil, so the heavy workpiece does not need to rotate.
Q: What about strapping the coil? A: The footage shows the wrapping step; strapping can be added on the line per project to secure the package for transport.
Q: What does it suit? A: Large pipe coils and round bundles that need a clean surface before storage or transport.
