Pipe coiling equipment

Semi-automatic pipe coilers are designed to facilitate the coiling process in plastic pipe production, combining manual intervention with automated systems to improve efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Such equipment adapts to the speed of the production line using a torque control system to ensure synchronized coiling and alignment of the pipe into the desired coil shape. However, tasks such as attaching the pipe start to the spool and processing the final product, including cutting and packaging, require manual input.

Available in a variety of models: single drum and twin drum semi-automatic coilers to suit different pipe diameters and production needs. Features of each model may include adjustable coiling arms to adjust the coil’s internal diameter and width, as well as systems such as dancing arms or torque control to control tension during coiling. Innovations such as pneumatically driven mechanisms for easier coil removal and various options to improve operation and setup are commonplace.

Semi-automatic equipment strikes a balance between the high cost of fully automated systems and the labor intensity of manual coiling, offering a practical solution for medium-sized manufacturing plants.

Fully automatic coilers optimize the coiling process after pipe extrusion, significantly increasing efficiency and reducing labor costs. This advanced equipment autonomously performs tasks such as feeding, coiling, cutting, tying and dispensing finished rolls with minimal human intervention. They fit a variety of pipe sizes and materials, providing versatility in a variety of applications.

Automatic equipment is usually built into high-speed extrusion lines and can adapt to pipes of different diameters and widths thanks to sophisticated servo control systems. Their design aims to optimize space utilization while increasing productivity, often resulting in at least a 50% increase in productivity compared to semi-automatic counterparts. Equipped with numerous functions for precise coiling, such as automatic coil changing, automatic tying or film removal, as well as user-friendly control panels, they ensure trouble-free operation.

So, the main advantages of fully automated equipment: higher coiling speed and productivity, creation of ideal reels, versatility and complete safety of the coiling process.
