✅ 1. Product Overview

The Vertical Spiral Accumulator is an efficient strip storage system used in continuous production lines such as high-frequency ERW tube mills and slitting lines. Its main function is to provide temporary strip storage during coil changeover or welding, ensuring continuous, uninterrupted production.


🌀 2. Working Principle

The strip enters from the bottom and is guided upward along a spiral track for storage. It exits from the top while feeding the next stage. A frequency-controlled motor, along with tension sensors and a PLC system, regulates infeed and outfeed speeds, allowing for automated operation and tension balancing.


⚙️ 3. Technical Specifications (Example)

Item Specification Range
Accumulator Height 2 – 8 meters (customizable)
Espesor de la tira 0.8 – 4.5 mm
Ancho de la tira 200 – 800 mm
Storage Length 30 – 120 meters (depending on loops)
Line Speed 0 – 120 m/min
Control System PLC + Inverter + Tension Sensor

🏗️ 4. Main Components

  1. Spiral Guide Track – Guides strip in a vertical spiral motion for storage.

  2. Entry/Exit Guide Systems – Ensures smooth strip entry and discharge.

  3. Tension Control System – Balances strip tension during storage.

  4. Drive Motor System – Controls strip speed via frequency inverter.

  5. Safety Systems – Includes guards, limit switches, and emergency stops.

🔍 5. Comparison: Vertical Spiral vs. Disc Accumulator

 

Feature Vertical Spiral Accumulator Disc Type Accumulator
Storage Capacity High   Medium  
Space Efficiency Vertical structure, small footprint Larger footprint
Structural Complexity Higher complexity and cost Simpler structure, moderate cost
Strip Stability Very stable, guided path Stable, shorter path
Automation Compatibility Excellent, fully PLC controlled High automation compatibility
Installation & Maintenance Requires precision, complex setup Simple installation and maintenance
Suitable Speed Mid-to-high speed lines Mid-speed lines

Conclusion: Vertical Spiral Accumulators are ideal for high-speed, high-capacity applications, while Disc Accumulators are more suited for compact, mid-speed setups.


🧭 6. Application Scenarios

  • ERW tube mills (for coil change buffering)

  • Slitting and cut-to-length lines

  • Cold roll forming lines

  • High-speed coating or pickling lines

  • Any continuous process requiring dynamic strip buffering


🎯 7. Selection Guide

Selection Criteria Recommendation
Line Speed Use spiral type if over 80 m/min
Floor Space Constraints Spiral is preferred if vertical space is available
Buffering Length Choose spiral for long strip storage
Tension Control Requirements Spiral offers better control
Budget Consideration Disc type is more cost-effective for general use
