High capacity reels from Sonoco

▲

Reels are now capable of holding 750km and 1,300km lengths of fibre, while flange diameters are 450mm and 540mm. To accommodate different equipment, shaft diameters come in three diameters – 1", 2" and 3" – flanges are tapered in both executions. For automatic fibre transfer from one reel to another in a dual take-up, tapered flanges can be executed with different slots to pass the fibre through. Both these new reels can be adapted to existing Nextrom machinery. With options of variable traverse sizes, customers can also design their own customised reel.
