A ring turns through the coil eye, so paper or film spirals over the outside, the faces and the bore. Rollers turn the coil slowly at the same time, so each turn of the ring overlaps the last. Tension control keeps the layers tight.<\/p>\n<p>In our video, the ring carries light-coloured paper through the eye of a flat strip coil while yellow rollers turn the coil, so the wraps step around the whole coil.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/copper-coil-packing.webp\" alt=\"Horizontal coil wrapper wrapping a flat-lying copper strip coil on a roller conveyor\" width=\"1314\" height=\"872\" class=\"skip-lazy\">\n<figcaption><strong>Horizontal copper coil wrapper.<\/strong> The coil lies flat on rollers while the ring wraps through the eye.<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"why-horizontal\">Why horizontal for strip<\/h2>\n<p>A narrow strip coil standing on its edge rests on a small contact patch, and thin strip can bend under its own weight. Lying flat, the whole coil face sits on the rollers, so the coil keeps its shape during wrapping. This is why we recommend horizontal wrapping for thin-gauge copper and alloy strip.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"coil-window\">Does your coil fit<\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Parameter<\/th>\n<th>FPC-300<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Coil weight<\/td>\n<td>10\u20131,000 kg<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Coil width<\/td>\n<td>10\u2013300 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Coil OD<\/td>\n<td>700\u20131,200 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Coil ID<\/td>\n<td>400\u2013900 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>OD minus ID<\/td>\n<td>under 600 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The last row matters.
