An operator places a formed coil on the base platform, the upper clamp presses it flat, and the coil is held compacted and ready for the next step. Fewer, tighter coils make better use of container space and sit more stable under load.

Compressing the coil first closes up the loose winding, lowers the coil profile, and lets more coils travel in the same container.<\/p>\n<p>A compact coil is also easier to strap and stack, which keeps the load stable on the voyage. Coil size and final height are confirmed per project.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-the-machine-does\">What the machine does<\/h2>\n<p>The machine is a vertical compacting press laid out around a steel wire coil. An operator places a formed steel wire coil on the base platform under the upper clamp, and the clamp descends to press the coil into a compact form.<\/p>\n<p>The compacted coil stays on the platform, ready for the strapping and protection that follow for the sea shipment. Pressing force and hold time are confirmed per project.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"base-platform-and-upper-clamp\">Base platform and upper clamp<\/h2>\n<p>The base is a yellow platform over a roller system that carries the coil during the press. The upper clamp holds several vertical press plates and is driven down over the coil.<\/p>\n<p>The coil sits with its axis level through the whole press, so the pressure lands evenly across the winding. The gap under the clamp is set for the coil height per project.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"compacting-cycle-and-hold\">Compacting cycle and hold<\/h2>\n<p>The operator centers the coil on the platform and starts the cycle. The upper clamp moves down smoothly, presses the coil into its compact form, and stays closed while the loose layers settle.<\/p>\n<p>When the cycle ends, the clamp keeps the coil in the compressed shape. Cycle time and clamp travel are confirmed per project.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-the-footage-shows\">What the footage shows<\/h2>\n<p>Our footage shows an operator standing beside a compacting press as the upper clamp descends and presses a formed steel wire coil on the base platform. The clamp stays closed, holding the coil compacted. It is a general demonstration, so your coil size, pressing force and hold time are confirmed with us per project.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"typical-configuration\">Typical configuration<\/h2>\n<p>Figures below list functional design boundaries rather than numeric values, and are confirmed per project.<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align: left\">Parameter<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align: left\">Typical range, confirmed per project<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Load<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">formed steel wire coil placed on the base platform<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Coil<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">coil outer and inner diameter in mm, confirmed per project<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Clamp<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">upper clamp with vertical press plates, power driven<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Press<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">compacting force in kN, confirmed per project<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Cycle<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">pressing and hold time in seconds, confirmed per project<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Output<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">compacted coil stays on the platform for the next step<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Control<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">panel with start-up and stop per project<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Electrical supply<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">380 V three phase 50 Hz, or 220 V single phase for light machines, selected per project<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2 id=\"selection-checklist\">Selection checklist<\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align: left\">Question<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align: left\">Confirm per project<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Coil range<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">outer and inner diameter, width and weight of your steel wire coil<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Compacting<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">compacting force and final coil height you need<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Film<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">stretch film for short trips or VCI rust-protection paper for long voyages<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Straps<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">1 to 3 straps per coil, chosen from coil width, diameter and stability<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Output<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">how the compacted coil moves on to strapping and wrapping<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Electrical supply<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">voltage, phase and frequency on site<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2 id=\"operation-and-safety\">Operation and safety<\/h2>\n<p>Center the coil on the platform, start the cycle, and let the clamp press and hold the coil.
