Twin Capstan DCM Uncoiler
Our standard 6t or 10t cantilevered powered uncoilers have been the stalwart uncoiler used in hundreds of sites around the globe. Many sites now prefer to use coil-cars to load and unload coils, but this is seeing an increase rather than a decrease in downtime. Most businesses do not run coils fully out: they are run to order and hence part-coils are loaded/unloaded many times a day. Typically 10 coil changes a day is not uncommon (larger sites do over 30!).
Using a coil car to unload/load is fine, but it does not increase productivity one iota: the coil car must remain empty while a coil is running so that it can remove that coil. Then that coil has to be lifted from the coil car, the new one lifted onto the coil car, and only then can the coilcar load the now-empty uncoiler mandrel. All this time the line is not running. Assuming that there is no waiting for a crane,
Change times are rarely less than 15minutes …that’s equates to about 3 hours a day of lost production time! By utilizing a twin capstan uncoiler, the line can be kept running while the old coil in unloaded/loaded on the off-line mandrel. When time comes to change coil, the on-line one is rewound and taped, then at a push of a button, the uncoiler head rotates bringing the new coil on-line. Downtime will be less than 5minutes, meaning a saving of at least 2 hours a day!! More in higher volume sites.
The payback on these robust, easy to maintain, reliable units can counted in months not years. Please contact us for further information …the time to act is now (before your competition does!)
