Slit Coil Packaging Line
In today’s metal processing industry, slit coils must be properly packaged before storage or shipment. Without reliable protection, coils are at risk of mechanical damage, corrosion, and contamination. A slit coil packing system ensures standardized, fast, and safe packaging that protects coil quality while reducing labor costs and maximizing operational efficiency.
Even advanced slitting lines lose performance if the packing stage becomes a bottleneck. LOTOS automatic slit coil packing systems solve this problem by automating coil handling, banding, wrapping, stacking, and storage. This leads to continuous production, minimal downtime, and superior coil protection, while improving workplace safety and lowering dependency on manual labor.
Why LOTOS Slit Coil Packing Systems Matter?
Proper coil packaging is not just about wrapping; it is about protecting product quality and maintaining efficiency across the supply chain.
Key benefits of LOTOS coil packaging solutions include:
- Product Protection: Prevents scratches, edge damage, and deformation during handling and shipping.
- Corrosion Resistance: Protective films (stretch, shrink, or VCI paper) extend storage life and safeguard coil surfaces.
- Operational Efficiency: Automated packing lines reduce downtime and keep slitting operations running smoothly.
- Labor Optimization: Automation minimizes reliance on manual labor, reallocating staff to higher-value tasks.
- Traceability: Integrated labeling, barcoding, and weighing improve supply chain visibility.
- Workplace Safety: Reduces operator strain and minimizes risks in handling heavy coils.
Coil Packing Technologies by LOTOS
- Wrapping Systems
LOTOS coil wrapping machines provide uniform protection using stretch film, VCI paper, or composite materials. These systems prevent scratches, dust, and moisture damage, suitable for steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and copper slit coils.
- Strapping Systems
Automatic coil strapping machines apply PET, PP, or steel straps for secure handling and long-distance transport. For heavy-duty coils, LOTOS strapping systems can be combined with wrapping stations for enhanced stability.
- Shrink Packing Systems
Heat shrink packaging creates a fully sealed, waterproof protection layer, ideal for export shipments or long-term storage in demanding environments.
- Hybrid Solutions
LOTOS offers hybrid coil packaging lines that combine wrapping and strapping modules, providing maximum protection, safety, and flexibility for different coil types and production requirements.
