IV Technical description
Application
The entry coil car will be hydraulically actuated. It will be used to Traverse and
load coil onto the mandrel of the decoiler.
To gain time while working, new coil is loaded to the coil car and lifted to the ma
ndrel position by hydraulic lift and the coil car start to move horizontally let the
mandrel go inside through the coil Then the loading car moves to the park positi
on.
Construction:
The coil car is a fabricated body of prime materials; mounted on hardened
wheels and axles with spherical roller Bearing. The lifting face must be of ‘V’
shaped design. The cradle (i.e. V – Shape frame) is raised and lowered by four
Colum steel and a hydraulic cylinders. The coil car traverse is accomplished by a

2. decoiler
Application:
the decoiler can handle the coil and be capable of feeding the coil into the slitting
Line, and also rewinding partially consumed coils, so they can be re-strapped
whilst still on the mandrel, before returning to Coil Storage Facility for use at a
later date.
Construction:
The coil is handling and collapsed and expansion by hydraulic expansion. Steel
fabricated duly machined, mounted on heavy duty shafts on anti-friction
bearings. It is collapsed by Hydraulic cylinders. The individual body is
fabricated steel construction. Mandrel equipped with hydraulic actuated
sliding wedge for expansion.
Pneumatic controlled braking system is provided to minimize over running of
the coil with tension. A brake is provided to stop the line whenever the line stops
for any reason.
The decoiler’s function is to take a new roll of metal and in a coordinated fashion
feed the material into the pinch roll. This is accomplished by a brake with a
motor driving the deccoiler. When a brake is used, the material typically feeds
via a thread-up motor through the pinch roll directly into the shear. Once the
pinch roll has the material, the brake holds tension in the material and the motor
turns off. The operator sets brake tension and controls brake tension. A motor is
used on the uncoiler, the material goes directly into the pinch roll as described
above and the decoiler drive acts as both the thread up motor and the hold-back
brake. In this case, the operator sets controls the tension in the strip.
