30t under-roller
rebatch line
PCT has supplied a 30 ton under-roller rebatch line to one of
the world’s major umbilical manufacturers located in the UK.
The under-roller rebatch line is able to rewind hose between
two reels, allowing the user to either supply a specific length
from one drum to another or to recoil a badly wound drum.
The line consists of two take-up/payoff units facing each
other where a single traverse unit controls the product lay on
the take-up drum. The lines can also be run in either direction.
A clever feature of the under-rollers is the ability to swap
the traverse unit from one machine to the other so that either
machine can be the take-up. The traverse unit also includes
a dancer arm that provides feedback to trim the speed of the
payoff unit. The units are designed to take drums up to 4m
in diameter by 2.6m wide and a weight of up to 30,000kg.
The rebatch line is fully compliant with EU health and
safety standards and has been fitted with a number of safety
features. These include safety fencing that completely
encloses the line, and sensors fitted to entrance points that
automatically reduce the speed of the winding to safely allow
operators to work within the area.
PCT Ltd is a privately owned company based in Newcastle,
UK, with subsidiaries in the USA and China. The company
designs and supplies coiling, handling and packaging
solutions for flexible products such as plastic pipe, sub-sea
umbilical, power cables, flow-lines and steel wire rope.
