Automatiac Steel coil packing line For Indian steel service center

CUSTOMER CASE STUDY: STEEL SHOPPE - REVOLUTIONIZING SLIT COIL PACKAGING IN INDIA

At FHOPEPACK, we pride ourselves on engineering robust and efficient packaging solutions for the demanding steel industry. This case study highlights our successful collaboration with Steel Shoppe (www.steelshoppe.in), a prominent steel processing unit in India, and how our bespoke slit coil packing line in India has transformed their packaging operations.

Steel Shoppe approached us with a clear objective: to implement a state-of-the-art packaging system capable of handling their valuable steel coils with precision, ensuring maximum protection during handling and transportation, and enhancing overall operational efficiency. Their commitment to delivering world-class products safely to their customers was paramount.

Our Engineered Solution: A Comprehensive Horizontal Slit Coil Packing Line

Understanding Steel Shoppe's specific requirements for handling steel coils with the following parameters:

• Object Characteristic: Steel coil
• Single Coil Weight: Max. 2500kg
• Coil OD: 1000-1500mm
• Coil ID: 508mm
• Coil Width: 50-300mm

We designed, fabricated, and commissioned a fully integrated Horizontal Coil Packing Line. This system incorporates several key automated modules to streamline their workflow:

1. Automatic Coil Down Ender: This unit efficiently receives slit coils and reorients them from an eye-to-sky to an eye-to-horizon position, preparing them for the subsequent horizontal packaging processes. This is a critical first step for safe and effective handling.
2. Centering Device: Post down-ending, coils are precisely aligned by an automatic centering device, ensuring accurate positioning for uniform packaging application.
3. Automatic PET Strapping Machine: High-tensile PET straps are automatically applied around the coil circumference. This module provides secure, consistent strapping, vital for maintaining coil integrity.
4. Coil Wrapping Machine: The centered and strapped coils then proceed to the wrapping station. Here, a robust coil wrapping machine applies protective wrapping material, shielding the steel coils from environmental factors and physical damage.
5. Automatic Coil Stacking System: This integrated system includes:
   • Centering & Lifting Table: Precisely centers and lifts wrapped coils to the correct height for stacking.
   • Stacking Machine: Automatically and safely stacks the coils to predetermined configurations at the designated stacking position, optimizing space and preparing them for dispatch.
6. Control System: The entire slit coil packing line is governed by an advanced control system, featuring intuitive HMI panels. This system ensures synchronized operation of all modules, allows for easy parameter adjustments, and provides diagnostic capabilities.

For enhanced reliability and performance, the packing line utilizes premium components, including ABB/SIEMENS motors and SKF bearings. The hydraulic systems integral to modules like the down ender and lifting tables are engineered for durability and consistent power.

Advantages Delivered to Steel Shoppe

The implementation of our slit coil packing line has brought significant advantages to Steel Shoppe's operations:

• Enhanced Product Protection: The multi-stage packaging process, including robust strapping and comprehensive wrapping, drastically minimizes the risk of damage during handling and transit.
• Improved Operational Efficiency: Automation of previously labor-intensive tasks such as down-ending, strapping, wrapping, and stacking has significantly increased throughput and reduced manual handling.
• Consistent Packaging Quality: The automated system ensures that every coil is packaged to the same high standard, reinforcing Steel Shoppe's commitment to quality.
• Increased Safety: Reduced manual intervention in the packaging process enhances a safer working environment for Steel Shoppe's personnel.
• Optimized Material Usage: Precise control over strapping and wrapping processes leads to more efficient use of packaging consumables.
