Executive summary This video shows a vertical wrapping machine forming and packaging coils of blue corrugated hose. An operator loads and guides the hose into a central ring, the machine winds it into a tight circular coil, and a protective film is wrapped over the outside. It is a semi-automatic process: winding is mechanical, but loading and positioning remain manual.
Why this machine matters
Corrugated flexible hose is awkward to store and ship. Left loose, it tangles, gets scuffed, and occupies far more space than necessary. Coiling it into a neat, uniform ring and sealing that ring in protective film solves three problems at once: it protects the product surface, keeps each length identified and contained, and makes stacking and palletizing predictable.
The video on this page demonstrates exactly that workflow on a vertical-format machine — one where the coil stands on its edge, with the ring’s axis vertical, rather than lying flat. This orientation is common for larger-diameter hose and cable products because the finished coil is stable, easy to see into, and easy to lift out.
What the video shows: process overview
Based on what the footage shows, one cycle runs roughly as follows:
- Loading (approx. 0–12s). The operator brings a length of blue corrugated hose to the machine and guides it into the central ring-shaped channel. Additional coils of the same hose are stacked nearby.
- Positioning (approx. 15–24s). The operator adjusts the hose so it sits centered against the inner guide rollers. The hose begins to take on a spiral shape as it follows the ring path.
- Winding (approx. 27–36s). The machine’s drive mechanism — a rotating arm or pressing roller system — starts working, pressing the hose inward and winding it continuously along the ring path. The operator lets go but keeps watching.
- Finishing and checking (approx. 39–42s). The winding completes into a compact, regular ring. The operator lightly presses the edge to confirm alignment and no looseness.
- Film wrapping (approx. 45–60s). White protective film is fed from an upper curved rail and wrapped around the outside of the coil. The operator steadies the coil during this stage, then moves to the control panel.
The finished product is a clean blue ring, roughly as wide as the operator’s torso, held together by translucent stretch film.
Direct observation notes
The following points are kept close to what is actually visible in the video:
- The machine has a green painted steel frame on a heavy welded base plate.
- The central working area is a large ring-shaped guide with multiple rollers; an orange pressing/feed module sits below it.
- Yellow safety fencing with stepped access covers the upper and side areas of the machine.
- A control panel is mounted on the right column with at least two red mushroom-head buttons (emergency-stop type), several green/red indicator lights, and a small digital display whose content cannot be read.
- A yellow electrical cabinet with warning labels is mounted at the upper left; the labels are partially legible and include an electrical hazard warning.
- The product is bright blue corrugated plastic hose with regular longitudinal ribs; finished coils measure roughly 60–100 cm in outer diameter based on proportions in the frame.
- No nameplate, model number, or brand marking is visible on the machine itself.
- The video contains background music only — there is no narration, so all information comes from visual observation of sampled frames.
What the video does not show
Buyers should understand the limits of this footage. The following are not observable and must be confirmed with the manufacturer:
- Machine model designation and rated power, voltage, and frequency
- Cycle time per coil
- Minimum and maximum hose diameter range
- Machine weight and overall dimensions
- Whether a PLC and touchscreen HMI are included, or only physical buttons
- Safety certifications (CE, UL, or equivalent)
- Maintenance intervals and lubrication requirements
- Whether automatic discharge or automatic strapping can be added
- Throughput, yield, and productivity figures
Where this machine fits
| Factor | Observed in video | What it suggests for buyers |
|---|---|---|
| Product | Blue corrugated flexible hose | Suited to hose, cable, and similar flexible products sold in coiled form |
| Orientation | Vertical ring, axis upright | Stable finished coil, visible contents, easy extraction |
| Loading | Manual by one operator | Semi-automatic level; full automation would need verification |
| Winding | Mechanical ring winding | Consistent coil shape versus hand coiling |
| Packaging | Stretch film overwrap | Dust and scratch protection for storage and transit |
Typical applications for this kind of coiled product include building drainage, cable protection ducting, and similar distribution uses. The wrapped coil is easier to stack, count, and ship without surface damage.
Key characteristics at a glance
- Ring-form winding produces a concentric, tightly layered coil rather than a loose bundle.
- Integrated film overwrap means coiling and packaging happen at one station.
- Physical guarding — the fencing around the moving ring — separates the operator from rotating parts during winding.
- Emergency stop buttons are present on the control panel; their exact count and wiring should be verified with the manufacturer.
What to verify with the manufacturer
Before ordering, ask specifically about:
- Hose diameter range and whether tooling changes are needed between sizes.
- Cycle time per coil at your product diameter.
- Whether film tension and wrap overlap are adjustable.
- Control system type — PLC/HMI versus button-only panel.
- Interlock behavior: does opening the guard stop the machine?
- After-sales training, spare parts availability, and compliance documentation for your region.
FAQ
Is the machine fully automatic? No. The video shows manual loading and positioning, with mechanical winding and film wrapping. The degree of automation beyond what is shown — check with the manufacturer.
What sizes of hose can it handle? The footage shows hose producing coils roughly 60–100 cm in outer diameter, but exact diameter ranges are not stated in the video. Confirm the spec range with the manufacturer.
Does it cut and tie the film automatically? The video does not show an automatic cutting or sealing step. Verify this with the manufacturer.
How long does one coil take? Cycle time is not shown or stated. Request measured cycle data for your product size.
What safety features are included? Guard fencing and emergency-stop buttons are visible. Whether there are door interlocks or light curtains is not visible — check with the manufacturer.
