Flat slit coils lie on a long yellow roller conveyor, some with blue film on metal pallets at the side. At the turnover station, a blue frame with a yellow clamp holds a coil upright.<\/p>\n<p>At the wrapping machine, an open-ring rotating arm wraps a coil standing upright. Other panels show the control console and the wrapping machine panel. FHOPE branding appears on the blue machines.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-it-works\">Turnover, feeding and wrapping in one line<\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Station<\/th>\n<th>What it does<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Feeding<\/td>\n<td>The yellow roller conveyor carries flat slit coils in<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Turnover<\/td>\n<td>The clamp upender stands the coil upright<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Wrapping<\/td>\n<td>The open-ring arm wraps the upright coil through the eye<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Outfeed<\/td>\n<td>The wrapped coil leaves for strapping or stacking<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Turning the coil by machine keeps hands and crane hooks away from the coil edges.

The passes needed depend on the mean circumference and the advance per pass.

Keep people out of the turnover and wrapping zones while the line runs. Hands on a coil beside the upender are safe only with the station stopped and isolated.<\/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 sets general requirements for packaging machines.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"selection-checklist\">Selection checklist for a coil turnover and wrapping line<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"margin-left:-1.25em;list-style-type:none\"><input type=\"checkbox\" disabled=\"disabled\" \/> Slit coil OD, ID, width and weight range.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-left:-1.25em;list-style-type:none\"><input type=\"checkbox\" disabled=\"disabled\" \/> Coils per hour.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-left:-1.25em;list-style-type:none\"><input type=\"checkbox\" disabled=\"disabled\" \/> Eye position at infeed and at dispatch.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-left:-1.25em;list-style-type:none\"><input type=\"checkbox\" disabled=\"disabled\" \/> Film type and overlap.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-left:-1.25em;list-style-type:none\"><input type=\"checkbox\" disabled=\"disabled\" \/> Strapping or stacking after wrapping.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-left:-1.25em;list-style-type:none\"><input type=\"checkbox\" disabled=\"disabled\" \/> Floor space and conveyor length.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"engineering-faq\">Engineering FAQ<\/h2>\n<p>Q: Why turn slit coils upright before wrapping?\nA: The open-ring wrapper in our line wraps the coil standing upright, through the eye.<\/p>\n<p>Q: How many wrap passes does a coil take?\nA: About 75 for a 1,200 mm OD coil with 100 mm film at 50% overlap, counted at the OD, in our example.<\/p>\n<p>Q: Where should overlap be set?\nA: At the OD, because the eye always gets more overlap.<\/p>\n<p>Q: Can coils leave the line flat?\nA: Yes, with a second turnover station after wrapping.<\/p>\n<p>Q: Does anyone handle the coil by hand?\nA: Not during the cycle.
