The overlap varies, the film is loose in places and the eye is often left half covered. A machine package is the same on every coil: the same overlap, the same tension and a closed, sealed surface.<\/p>\n<p>It is also faster. One operator loads and unloads while the machine wraps.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"machine\">Horizontal eye-through wrapper with press-down arm<\/h2>\n<p>Our FPCA-200 has a horizontal table and a vertical wrapping ring that passes through the coil eye.<\/p>\n<p>The coil lies flat on support rollers. A yellow press-down arm with a spring-loaded screw and soft rollers comes down onto the top of the coil. It holds the coil flat and keeps it turning at the same speed as the ring. Sheet-metal covers enclose the drive parts and pinch points. The stretch film spirals round the coil section until it is fully covered.<\/p>\n<p>For coils under about 8 kg we fit the press-down device as standard, because a very light coil shakes in wrapping without it. On heavier soft coils it keeps the coil flat so it does not deform.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"steps\">Packing one coil<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Load.<\/strong> Place the coil flat on the rollers, with the ring through the eye.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hold.<\/strong> Bring the press-down arm onto the coil.

The hazards are the ring through the coil eye, the support rollers and the press-down arm. Covers guard the drive parts, and the guard at the feed side closes off the ring area. Loading, tie-on and unloading are done with the ring stopped.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"engineering-faq\">Engineering FAQ<\/h2>\n<p>Q: Why does a small coil need a press-down arm?\nA: A light coil does not grip the rollers well by its own weight. The arm adds the grip and holds the coil flat, and its height adjusts to the coil.<\/p>\n<p>Q: Can it wrap with paper instead of film?\nA: Yes. Paper rolls up to 450 mm OD can be used, for coils that must breathe.<\/p>\n<p>Q: How many coils per hour?\nA: At 25\u201335 s per coil, the wrap time allows about 100\u2013140 coils per hour; loading speed sets the real figure.<\/p>\n<p>Q: Which standard applies?\nA: We design to EN 415-10, and the CE risk assessment follows ISO 12100.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"next-step\">Next
