Coils are the simplest and therefore the most economical delivery format for strip. They are packed horizontally on square or round pallets, the size of which is adjusted to the outer diameter of the coils.

Traverse-wound strip comes in coils which are welded together using the TIG process and then wound onto a drum. The resulting strands are considerably longer than with individual coils. The advantage is a reduction in the operator‘s changeover times. The welds are marked in colour.

Drum logistics, too, can be improved even further. Wieland‘s latest contribution is called FLEXIDRUM. Removable and re-usable spool flanges are retained by the customer. The coils are delivered on cores without flanges, and so the flanges can be fitted very simply on the spot without having to lift the core. The cores can be supplied either as reusable or one-way cores.

Wieland-MULTICOIL is packed with all the coils in a stack joined with each other to produce the longest possible strip length. With this method a whole stack of coils can be processed in a single stamping run. Uncoiling can be done on existing horizontal decoilers, so no investment is needed in equipment. 

The advantages: 

• stamping runs with less downtime
• reduced risk of tool break at coil feedings
• higher productivity
