The wrapping head above it carries the paper or film roll on a ring that passes down through the eye and back up round the outside. As the ring turns, the rollers turn the coil slowly, so the wrap moves round the whole coil.<\/p>\n<p>Paper goes on first, as a layer against the steel, and stretch film goes over it to hold the paper and keep moisture out. That gives the two finishes of the station: the paper layer and the film cover.<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Part<\/th>\n<th>What it does<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Roller table<\/td>\n<td>Carries and turns the flat coil<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Wrapping head<\/td>\n<td>Runs the material through the coil eye<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Paper roll<\/td>\n<td>Lays the inner layer against the steel<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Stretch film roll<\/td>\n<td>Covers and seals the paper layer<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Floor rail<\/td>\n<td>Lets the station line up with the conveyors<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Stretch film and paper are the standard wrapping media for this station; VCI film and composite fabrics are the advanced options where corrosion protection or added surface care is specified.<\/p>\n<p>On our slitting coil lines, the wrap overlap is set from 10% to 90% on the panel, by the orbital eye-through stretch film method.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"specs\">Slitting coil packing line specifications<\/h2>\n<p>The same line also includes automatic PET or steel strapping, so the table lists the strapping cycle with the wrapping data.

The fail-safe PLC holds the stop circuit.<\/p>\n<p>The standards that apply depend on the destination market. For CE markets, ISO 12100 sets the risk-assessment method, and EN 415-10 covers general requirements for packaging machines, which fixes guarding and the stop arrangement.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"engineering-faq\">Engineering FAQ<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Q: Why wrap a steel coil with both paper and film?<\/strong>\nA: Paper lies against the steel, and film over it holds the paper and keeps moisture out.
