A flat-lying steel wire coil runs in on rollers, the ring turns through the coil eye and lays blue film round the whole coil section, and the wrapped coil runs out. Our FPW-AU300 takes coils of 300\u20131,500 kg and 500\u20131,200 mm OD. Below we cover the cycle, the published data and a worked example for overlap and ring turns.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1410\" height=\"793\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0NIRTSkunIY\" title=\"Automatic wire packing machine for steel wire\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<h2 id=\"table-of-contents\">Table of Contents<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#video\">What the clip shows<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#eye-through\">Why eye-through wrapping for wire coils<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#machine-data\">FPW-AU300 data<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#overlap\">Overlap and turns<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#selection-checklist\">Selection checklist<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#safety\">Safety<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#engineering-faq\">Engineering FAQ<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#next-step\">Next step<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#related-reading\">Related reading<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#sources\">Sources<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"video\">What the clip shows<\/h2>\n<p>The clip is filmed in our workshop around a green wire coil packing machine.<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Step<\/th>\n<th>What you see<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Infeed<\/td>\n<td>A bare steel wire coil lies flat on the infeed roller conveyor<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Positioning<\/td>\n<td>The coil is pushed into the wrapping station between upright side rollers<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Wrapping<\/td>\n<td>The ring turns through the coil eye and blue stretch film is applied over the whole coil cross-section<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Outfeed<\/td>\n<td>The wrapped coil, fully covered in blue film, runs out onto the outfeed rollers<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Operator<\/td>\n<td>One operator starts the cycle and watches from beside the machine<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The coil stays flat while the ring passes through its eye, so the film covers the inside, outside and both faces in one pass round the coil.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"eye-through\">Why eye-through wrapping for wire coils<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Full cover.<\/strong> Each turn of the ring goes through the eye, so the film covers the whole coil section, not just the outside.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rust and dust.<\/strong> A closed film layer keeps moisture and dust off drawn wire in storage and transport.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Coil stays flat.<\/strong> The coil is supported on rollers, so there is no upending step before or after wrapping.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Steady coil.<\/strong> Side protective rollers hold the coil in place while the ring turns.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"machine-data\">FPW-AU300 data<\/h2>\n<p>Our published data for the automatic steel wire coil packing machine FPW-AU300:<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Item<\/th>\n<th>Published value<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Coil weight<\/td>\n<td>300\u20131,500 kg<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Coil width<\/td>\n<td>100\u2013300 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Coil OD<\/td>\n<td>500\u20131,200 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Coil ID<\/td>\n<td>300\u2013900 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>OD minus ID (published limit)<\/td>\n<td>Under 500 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Roller speed<\/td>\n<td>2\u20134 m\/min<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Ring speed<\/td>\n<td>0\u201390 r\/min<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Overlap<\/td>\n<td>10\u201390%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Wrap material<\/td>\n<td>Stretch film or paper, 120 mm wide, 50 mm core<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Power<\/td>\n<td>About 3.8 kW, 380 V 50 Hz 3-phase<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Supporting rollers are polyurethane covered, and ring and roller speeds are set by inverters.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"overlap\">Overlap and turns<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Worked example (illustrative).<\/strong> With 120 mm wide film at 50% overlap, each turn of the ring advances the film by 120 \u00d7 0.5 = 60 mm along the coil circumference.
