Executive summary This clip shows our coil packing lines for steel and metal service centres. Coils are tilted, wrapped through the eye and stacked, with narrow coils travelling on conveyors between stations. Service centres pack many sizes a day, so the process has to change over quickly between coil sizes.

What the clip shows
| Step | What you see |
|---|---|
| Tilting | A tilter turns the coil |
| Wrapping | A ring wraps the coil through the eye |
| Conveying | Narrow coils move between stations |
| Stacking | Coils stack at the line end |
| Lines | Several of our lines in the workshop |
The packing process
- Receive. Coils arrive from the slitter or cut-to-length line.
- Tilt. The tilter turns each coil as needed.
- Strap. Straps hold the wraps, where specified.
- Wrap. Film covers the coil through the eye.
- Stack. Coils stack on pallets for dispatch.
Changeovers
Worked example (illustrative).
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Size changes per shift (illustrative) | 6 |
| Changeover by hand (illustrative) | 15 min |
| Changeover from recipe (illustrative) | 2 min |
| Time saved per shift, 6 × (15 − 2) | 78 min |
What we set per centre
| Setting | Depends on |
|---|---|
| Recipes | Coil sizes run |
| Tilter | Coil weight |
| Wrapping | Layers |
| Stacking | Stack pattern |
Selection checklist
- Coil size range.
- Size changes per shift.
- Coils per hour.
- Strapping and wrapping needs.
- Stack pattern.
- Layout.
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 is the process? A: Receive, tilt, strap, wrap and stack.
Q: Why fast changeovers? A: Service centres pack many coil sizes a day.
Q: How much time do recipes save? A: 78 min per shift in the worked example.
Q: Can it take slitter and cut-to-length output? A: Yes, both can feed the line.
Q: Is strapping included? A: Where specified.
Q: Which standards apply? A: For CE markets, ISO 12100 and EN 415-10.
Next step
We match a service centre packing line in three steps:
- Submit your layout drawing with coil sizes, changes per shift 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.
