A meter counter measures each coil, the former turns at line speed, and the finished coil is tied and taken off. Our FCL-800 coils tube of 5\u201330 mm OD into coils up to 800 mm across at up to 80 m\/min, and the FCL400 takes larger coils of 680\u20131,200 mm OD.

Winding it by hand onto a frame is slow, the length varies, and loose turns tangle. A pipe winding machine does three jobs automatically. It measures the length, winds tight even layers on a former of the right ID and height, and holds the coil for tying so it keeps its shape when taken off.<\/p>\n<p>Typical products are PE water and irrigation pipe, PEX and PE-RT heating pipe, PVC hose and small air or fuel tube.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how\">How the coiling cycle works<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Start.<\/strong> The tube end is clamped to the former, which sits between clamping plates set to the coil ID and height.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wind.<\/strong> The former turns at line speed while the guide traverses, laying even layers. Servo drives match the winding to the extruder.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Count.<\/strong> The meter counter stops the coil at the set length and the tube is cut.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tie and wrap.<\/strong> The coil is strapped while still held; options add film wrapping or shrink wrap.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Discharge.<\/strong> The clamps open and the coil leaves on the conveyor; the next coil starts.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>A white control cabinet with PLC and HMI runs the cycle and reports error codes over IoT.

The cut, tie and discharge time t_c adds to every coil on a single station, so the line needs either a second winding station or a buffer for the tube during changeover. Our coiling and strapping lines are built for up to 45 coils an hour. Exact coil OD depends on how tightly the layers pack and is checked on your pipe at the factory test.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"after\">After coiling: strapping, wrapping, shrinking<\/h2>\n<p>Coiled pipe is tied at several points so it cannot spring open. For retail or export, it can then be film wrapped through the eye or shrink wrapped. We build coiling and strapping in two versions, horizontal and vertical, and link them to a wrapper where needed.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"selection-checklist\">Selection checklist<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Tube OD and material.<\/li>\n<li>Coil length, ID, OD and height.<\/li>\n<li>Extruder line speed.<\/li>\n<li>Strapping, wrapping or shrink wrap after coiling.<\/li>\n<li>One or two winding stations.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2 id=\"safety\">Safety: EN 415-10 and ISO 12100<\/h2>\n<p>Coiling and packing machines are built to EN 415-10, with the risk assessment done to ISO 12100. The hazards are the turning former, the traversing guide, the tube cutter and the strapping head.
