Executive summary This clip shows our copper strip coil system in a large plant. Narrow copper coils sit on a turnstile where a strapping head bands them, a strapping arm closes further straps, and a vertical stacker builds the coils into stacks on pallets. Copper is soft and heavy for its size, so we set both the stack height and the pallet weight before the line is built.

What the clip shows
| Step | What you see |
|---|---|
| Plant | The full line in a long, bright plant |
| Turnstile | Copper coils on a turnstile under a strapping head |
| Strapping | A strapping arm bands the coil on a green conveyor |
| Stacking | A vertical stacker builds coils into stacks |
| Pallets | Finished stacks stand on pallets at the outfeed |
What copper coils need
| Need | How the line meets it |
|---|---|
| Soft surface | Smooth indexing and padded contact parts |
| High density | Stack height set to the pallet load limit |
| Tarnish risk | Film or VCI paper wrapping where needed |
| Narrow strips | Turnstile holds many coils from one cut |
Stack height and weight
Worked example (illustrative).
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Coil weight (illustrative) | 200 kg |
| Coil width (illustrative) | 100 mm |
| Pallet load limit (illustrative) | 2,000 kg |
| Coils per stack by weight, 2,000 ÷ 200 | 10 coils |
| Stack height, 10 × 100 | 1,000 mm |
What we set per line
| Setting | Depends on |
|---|---|
| Straps per coil | Coil OD and width |
| Wrapping | Film or VCI paper |
| Stack | Coils per stack, layer pads |
| Pallet | Size and load limit |
Selection checklist
- Coil OD, ID, width and weight.
- Copper or brass grade and surface.
- Straps per coil.
- Film or VCI paper.
- Pallet size and load limit.
- Coils per hour.
Safety
- Keep clear of the turnstile and strapping head while they run.
- Stay outside the stacker area.
- 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 system do? A: It straps copper strip coils on a turnstile and stacks them on pallets.
Q: Why set stack weight first? A: Copper is dense, so the pallet load limit is reached before the height limit.
Q: How many coils per stack? A: Pallet limit divided by coil weight; 10 coils of 200 kg in the worked example.
Q: Can it add VCI paper? A: Yes, where tarnish protection is needed.
Q: Does it handle brass? A: Yes, with contact parts set to the surface.
Q: Which standards apply? A: For CE markets, ISO 12100 and EN 415-10.
