High density coiling Lämneå Bruk’s Live Bloc Coiler ▲ ▲ The new Live Bloc Coiler from Lämneå Bruk is designed for coiling large size flux-core welding and hard surfacing wire into drums, but can also be used for other types of wires. The machine can act as a take-up directly after the production line or as part of a rewinding operation. The machine has advanced features including cast adjustment during coiling, fully controlled by the machine’s PLC, to produce a coil with an extremely high density. The Live Bloc Coiler is said to solve the problem of filling drums with the required weight while maintaining a safe operation, fully enclosed and with electrically interlocked guards. The high quality coiling allows increased drum weights, giving longer runs and saving transport and packaging costs.
