Soprem Linear Strip Accumulators from Shear-Form Ltd, the sole UK representative for Swiss coil processing equipment manufacturer Soprem Automation AG can increase productivity and reduce downtimes in coil strip processing production.
The Soprem linear strip accumulator system comprises 2 x 1,000kg decoilers, a strip end welding machine, a strip accumulator with multiple 5m high linear strip loops including a powered pulling roll unit with loop control at the outlet end. This system can handle strip up to 120 m long x 250mm wide strip and ranging from 0,2 – 1,2mm in thickness, operating at a maximum 40m/min strip speed.
The strip accumulator smoothly feeds the strip into the on-going processing equipment without any interruptions even during coil changeovers. It has fixed lower diverting rolls and adjustable upper rolls, which are moved to the upper starting position by vector drive. A powered roil feeding unit with loop control in a linear and vertical moving scanning unit ensures a continuous strip flow at the same time maintaining a constant strip pull..
Options available include systems with larger or smaller accumulating capacity, de-coilers with different loading capacities, other strip profiles and systems that to fit special space requirements by using strip diversion systems.
Soprem can also supply parallel and thread accumulating systems.
