Automated Steel Coil Packaging line

Project Information

The Automated Steel Coil Packaging Line is a new system designed for the seamless connecting with slitting line for coil handling, wrapping, and strapping of steel coils. Integrating advanced PLC controls, conveyors, and strapping stations, it optimizes packing processes with unmatched speed and consistency. This solution minimizes manual labor, enhances safety, and protects steel coils during transit and storage.

Key Parameters:

Coil Dimensions: OD 700–1600 mm, ID 508-610 mm, Width 20–500 mm
Weight Capacity: 100–5000 kg per coil
Packing Speed: 20–40 coils/hour
Power Supply: 380V, 3-phase, 50 Hz （can be customizied）
Automation: PLC and SCADA-based operation for precision control

Wuxi BuHui’s Automatic Steel Coil Packaging Line integrates coil loading, upending, strapping, wrapping, powered conveyors, stacking and pallet wrapping under PLC/HMI control—delivering 20–30 coils/hour throughput with minimal labor, consistent quality, and maximum uptime.

The Challenge: Coil Packaging Bottlenecks

High labor & safety risk: Manual handling of 100–3,000 kg slit coils inflates costs and hazards.
Throughput mismatch: Slitting rates exceed manual packaging capacity, causing bottlenecks.
Quality inconsistency: Variable strap tension and wrap overlap compromise coil security.
Integration complexity: Coordinating turnstile, upender, strapping, wrapping, conveyors and stacking demands precise logic.
Material management: Rapid changeovers for film, paper, straps risk waste and delays.
Control complexity: Inadequate automation leads to downtime and manual recovery.
Energy & maintenance: Multiple drives and pneumatics drive up OPEX and downtime.
Deployment pressure: Quick install and ROI are essential to avoid production delays.
Plant constraints: Must operate reliably at 0–40 °C, ≤75 dB, 0.6–0.8 MPa air without impacting adjacent lines.
