In transport the outer turns loosen, the ends spring out, and dust gets into the corrugations and the bore. A full wrap through the eye closes the coil on all sides. It holds every turn in place, keeps the pipe clean, and gives a smooth surface for labels and stacking.<\/p>\n<p>Without external wrapping, corrugated coils present three practical challenges across the logistics chain:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Radial spring-back:<\/strong> Elastic recovery in HDPE, LDPE, or PP corrugated conduit forces the tail ends loose once manual strapping slacks, snagging during palletizing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Surface contamination:<\/strong> The hollow corrugation ribs trap warehouse airborne dust, grit, and moisture, making conduits difficult to install or pull wires through on site.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stacking deformation:<\/strong> Uneven loose turns shift during multi-tier warehouse stacking, causing pallet leaning and transport damage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A continuous through-the-eye horizontal wrap binds the entire annular profile into a rigid structural bundle, shielding the internal bore and outer ribs under uniform film tension.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 id=\"operation\">Operation step by step<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Load.<\/strong> The coil is placed flat on the roller bed, by hand for light coils or transferred directly from an upstream automatic coiler via conveyor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Start.<\/strong> The operator starts the cycle, and the ring begins to turn through the coil eye.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wrap.<\/strong> Each ring turn lays one band of film around the coil section. The rollers turn the coil slowly, so each band lands next to the last one with the set overlap.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Finish.<\/strong> After one full coil turn plus a short overwrap, the ring stops, and the film is cut and pressed down.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Unload.<\/strong> The wrapped coil rolls out on the conveyor to labelling or stacking.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The ratio between ring speed and coil speed sets the overlap, and we set both on the control panel for each coil size. A vertical guide above the roller bed keeps a light coil located, so film tension cannot lift or shift it while the ring turns.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 id=\"horizontal\">Why the coil lies flat<\/h2>\n<p>A soft plastic coil stood on edge sags and goes oval, and the ring then cannot keep an even wrap. Lying flat, the whole coil is supported by the roller bed. This is why our FPCA-200H is built for horizontal packing of soft coils: the support prevents deformation while the film goes on.<\/p>\n<p>When a flexible pipe bundle rests on its cylindrical edge, gravity concentrates the total weight on a minimal contact footprint. Thin-walled corrugated pipes distort elastically, creating an eccentric inner eye diameter that risks physical collision with the rotating carriage shuttle. Laying the coil flat distributes the 10\u201350 kg product weight across heavy-duty support rollers, ensuring true circularity and consistent film pre-stretch geometry throughout 360 degrees of rotation.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 id=\"specs\">Specifications (FPCA-200H)<\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align: left\">Item<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align: left\">Figure<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Coil ID<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">200\u2013350 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Coil OD<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">500\u2013650 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Coil width<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">150\u2013300 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Coil weight<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">10\u201350 kg<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Film roll<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">OD 100\u2013140 mm, core 50 mm, width 90 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Paper roll (option)<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">OD 100\u2013450 mm, core 50 mm, width 90 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Power supply<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">380 V 60 Hz 3 ph<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Power consumption<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">2.0 kW<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Ring speed, cycle time<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">confirmed at quote<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>For coils outside this range, our FPH-200 hose coil wrapper covers 300\u2013600 mm ID, 400\u2013900 mm OD and 50\u2013200 mm width, with a ring speed of 20\u201390 r\/min.<\/p>\n<p><em>Note on operational throughput:<\/em> Under standard production configuration, the FPCA-200H delivers a total wrapping cycle of 25\u201335 sec\/pcs, with the rotating ring capable of speeds up to 100 r\/min [manufacturer rating; exact cycle time depends on coil dimensions, overlap settings, and handling automation, confirmed at quote].<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 id=\"example\">Worked example: film and time per coil<\/h2>\n<p>Take a conduit coil of 600 mm OD, 250 mm ID and 200 mm wide, wrapped with 90 mm film at 50% overlap.
