Corrugated pipe coiler

The Smart Series offers different automatic coiler models in which the operator mechanically adjusts the reels and other parts of the coiler. These are machines perfect for extrusion lines that do not need many size changeovers. In fact, in these extrusion lines, a change in diameter requires the replacement of the corrugator molds, so the line downtime amply exceeds 30 minutes. During this lapse of time, the entire machine can be adjusted and the coiler parameters can be uploaded.

The Smart series is highly appreciated by those companies that dedicate their production lines to a single corrugated pipe model as it is in high demand on the market, such as the 100 meter coils with 25 mm diameter. When extrusion speed is constant, up to 60-70 meters a minute, and without changes in roll diameter or length, the Smart series offers the best production-to-price ratio.

Of the different models, the EC0701C is highly appreciated for corrugated pipes in both polypropylene and PVC with dimensions 16-32 mm and 16-50 mm, and an extrusion speed up to 70 meters per minute. The EC1200C can process double-wall pipes measuring 40 mm to 63 mm. The superior model, EC2000C, is one of the most popular for corrugated pipes with diameters between 40 mm and 200 mm. It is highly appreciated because its manual adjustments are perfectly compatible with the long amount of time necessary for changing over large sizes and so in this type of process, companies find a model with a rapid payback on their investment.

The Premium Series also has many models suitable for the automatic coiling of corrugated pipes. For double-wall pipes, the most widely adopted models are DR1201C for pipe measurements from 40 mm to 75 mm and DR2001C for measurements from 40 mm to 200 mm. On model DR2001C, a system that automatically inserts the coupler that connects two different rolls during installation has been implemented. This implies that the coil coming out of the coiler can be picked by a robot and placed directly on the pallet ready for the warehouse without any other operator intervention.

Another particularly interesting model of the Premium series is the DR0851C for pipes in PVC, polypropylene, or polyamide with measurements from 16 mm to 32 mm and a length varying from 25 to 100 meters. It is a model fully retrofitted in its mechanical and electric parts and is set up for automation with robots and automatic palletizing systems, in line with the guidelines for Industry 4.0.

The Excellence Series is the top of the range of FB Balzanelli coilers. They are fully automatic and boast top performance. Without a doubt, the most popular is the TR0801C equipped with one or two strapping units. Versatile and fast in its adjustments and coil and pipe size changeovers, it can form coils from 25 to 100 meters and rapidly modulate itself on the different extrusion speeds up to 70 meters per minute. It is a coiler highly appreciated by companies equipped with few production lines but with a vast product assortment such as to require continuous size and length changes. It offers the possibility to perform instantaneous changeovers without ever interrupting production. Like all models of the Excellence series, this one as well can be matched with an automation system for collecting coils and palletization.

For companies that need to form coils with a smaller internal diameter, the TR1201C model is recommended. It processes pipes from 40 mm to 75 mm in the narrow version and from 40 mm to 110 mm in the wider version. The internal diameter starts from 180 mm and the width can reach 620 mm, with a 1200 mm external diameter, therefore with measurements easy to place on pallets. The next model is the TR2001C, fully automatic in setting parameters using the panel, one or two pneumatic strappers with the possibility of intermediate strapping, and ability to flawlessly distribute the spires to get perfect coils.
