Product Details

The Horizontal Accumulator, also referred to as a Floor-Type Spiral Accumulator, is a high-performance dynamic coil storage system specifically engineered for tube mills, slitting lines, and continuous strip processing environments. By acting as a critical buffer between the uncoiler and the production line, it enables seamless coil changeovers and welding processes, effectively eliminating production downtime and maximizing operational efficiency.

Operating on a serpentine loop layout, this system stores strip material horizontally along a linear bed. Through advanced PLC synchronization, the infeed and outfeed phases are meticulously balanced to maintain constant tension and loop volume. This ensures that the downstream processing equipment continues to run at a steady speed even when the primary material source is temporarily paused, making it an indispensable asset for high-volume industrial metal fabrication.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the primary advantage of a Horizontal Accumulator over a Disc type?

The Horizontal Accumulator provides significantly longer strip buffering capabilities (often 20m+) and superior tension control compared to the Disc type, making it ideal for lines with larger material requirements but limited ceiling height.

Q: How does the PLC system manage the material flow?

The PLC synchronizes the infeed and outfeed speeds using sensors and inverters to maintain a constant loop volume, ensuring the production line never stops during coil changeovers.

Q: Which industries typically use these horizontal loop accumulators?

They are widely used in ERW carbon steel tube mills, steel strip slitting and recoiling lines, cut-to-length blanking lines, and continuous cold roll forming systems.

Q: What maintenance is required for the rollers in a metal tool manufacturing environment?

Our rollers are high-precision and wear-resisting. Periodic lubrication and inspection of the guide rollers are recommended to maintain smooth strip flow and prevent surface scratches.

Q: Can the storage capacity be customized for specific strip thicknesses?

Yes, the storage capacity is based on the number of loops and the physical layout. We customize the frame and roller configuration based on your specific strip width and thickness requirements.

Q: Does the machine include installation and training services?

Yes, our professional after-sales engineer team provides on-site installation, provides detailed operating manuals, and trains your employees until they are fully proficient in operating the machine.
