Executive summary This clip is real site footage of our slit coil packing line at a slit coil center in Mexico. Coils come off the slitter eye-horizontal, a downender lays them flat on yellow roller conveyors, a strapping head bands each coil through the eye, a wrapping station covers it with film, and a gantry stacks the coils onto pallets. Site staff run and check the line during the run.

What the clip shows
| Step | What you see |
|---|---|
| Line | The blue and yellow line in the customer hall |
| Downending | A downender lays each coil flat onto the conveyor |
| Strapping | A strapping head drops through the eye and bands the coil |
| Wrapping | A wrapping station covers the coil with film |
| Stacking | A gantry stacks coils onto wooden pallets |
Site checks before handover
| Check | What we confirm |
|---|---|
| Coil range | Smallest and largest coils run without adjustment problems |
| Cycle | Line keeps pace with the slitter |
| Strap and film | Strap tension and film overlap meet the spec |
| Stacking | Stack pattern and pallet position are correct |
| Safety | Fences, interlocks and emergency stops work |
Coils per pallet
Worked example (illustrative).
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Coil width (illustrative) | 200 mm |
| Stack height limit (illustrative) | 1,000 mm |
| Coils per stack, 1,000 ÷ 200 | 5 coils |
| Stacks per pallet (illustrative) | 1 |
| Coil weight (illustrative) | 400 kg |
| Pallet load, 5 × 400 | 2,000 kg |
What we set per site
| Setting | Depends on |
|---|---|
| Downender | Coil weight and slitter exit height |
| Strap | PET or steel strap, straps per coil |
| Film | Layers and overlap |
| Stacking | Coils per stack and pallet size |
Selection checklist
- Coil OD, ID, width and weight.
- Slitter exit position.
- Straps per coil.
- Film layers.
- Pallet size and load limit.
- Coils per hour.
Safety
- Keep clear of the downender, strapping head and gantry while they move.
- Stay outside fenced areas.
- 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 on site? A: It downends, straps, wraps and stacks slit coils onto pallets.
Q: What is checked before handover? A: Coil range, cycle, strap and film, stacking and safety.
Q: How many coils per pallet? A: Stack height divided by coil width; 5 coils in the worked example.
Q: Is the downender needed? A: Yes, when coils leave the slitter eye-horizontal and must lie flat.
Q: Can the line use steel strap? A: Yes, with edge protectors where needed.
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, weights, slitter layout and coils 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.
