Horizontal Accumulator

The Horizontal Accumulator, also known as a Floor-Type Spiral Accumulator, is a dynamic coil storage system used in tube mills, slitting lines, and other continuous strip processing lines. Its main function is to buffer strip material during coil changeover or welding, ensuring non-stop production.

Specification

✅ 1. Product Overview

🌀 2. Working Principle & Storage Mode

This accumulator stores strip material horizontally in a serpentine loop layout. As the strip is fed from the uncoiler, it enters the accumulator and is guided through a series of rollers that form horizontal loops. These loops are stored along a linear bed or platform.

Storage Form: Horizontal spiral/serpentine loops
How It Works:
1. Infeed phase: Strip enters and forms horizontal loops while the production line continues running.
2. Outfeed phase: When the uncoiler stops, the accumulator feeds the stored strip forward.
3. Synchronization: Infeed and outfeed are controlled by a PLC to balance loop volume and maintain tension.

🔄 6. Comparison: Disc vs. Horizontal vs. Vertical Accumulator

Feature	Disc Type Accumulator	Horizontal Accumulator	Vertical Spiral Accumulator
Layout Length	10m length	over 10m length	Very High
Space Usage	Compact	Large floor space	High ceiling space
Loop Style	Flat coil loops	Horizontal serpentine	Vertical spiral
Structure Complexity	Simple	Moderate	Complex
Maintenance	Easy	Moderate	More complex
Tension Control	Good	Very good	Excellent
Cost	Lower	Medium	Higher
Application Flexibility	General purpose	For longer buffer needs	For high-speed & large-volume lines

🎯 7. How to Choose

Choose Disc Accumulator if:
- You have limited floor and vertical space
- Pipe diameter lower 127mm, thickness lower 5mm.
- Buffering needs are moderate
Choose Horizontal Accumulator if:
- You have enough floor space
- Need long strip buffering (20m+)
- Require good tension control but limited ceiling height
Choose Vertical Spiral Accumulator if:
- High-speed line (80–120 m/min)
- Short space
- You can accommodate a tall structure
