Disc Type Accumulator

🔧 Main Functions & Advantages:

• Uninterrupted Production: Maintains continuous material supply during coil changeover without stopping the main welding line.

• High Storage Capacity: Stores up to dozens of meters of strip dynamically.

• High Automation: Equipped with tension sensors and frequency converters, fully integrated with the main line.

• Versatile Material Compatibility: Suitable for strip thicknesses from 0.8–5.0 mm and widths from 200–800 mm.

🧩 Equipment Composition:

1. Upper and Lower Disc Modules
   Steel discs fixed in vertical layout; the strip passes between them to create the storage loop.

2. Tension Detection & Control System
   Sensors or encoders monitor strip tension and send feedback to adjust motor speed.

3. Entry Guide System
   Aligns and directs the incoming strip into the accumulator path smoothly.

4. Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) System
   Synchronizes strip feeding speed with upstream and downstream equipment.

5. Safety Devices
   Includes safety guards and emergency stop switches to ensure operator safety.

🔍 Comparison: Disc Accumulator vs. Loop Cage

Conclusion: The Disc Type Accumulator is better suited for modern ERW tube mills with high automation, space-saving requirements, and stable strip handling needs.

🌀 Working Principle:

After uncoiling and leveling, the strip enters the upper disc group, winds through several fixed discs, and exits from the bottom. This forms a vertical buffer area that automatically adjusts feeding speed based on mainline status. During coil changeover, the accumulator speeds up to maintain continuous output, ensuring non-stop production.
