reels & spools
Founded in 1938, Hamelin continues to evolve as a leading
supplier of wood reels and related services in Canada and
the United States. Hamelin supplies customers with plywood
and nailed wood reels from plants in Boisbriand, Quebec,
Bowmanville, Ontario, and Worcester, Massachussetts. Most
customers today require the vendor to manage their reel
inventory.
Hamelin does so with new reels and repaired and recycled
reels. Canadian reels are returnable and in most cases two out
of three reels are repaired. Hamelin is also located to a year-
round deep sea port and supplies cable reel components
worldwide. The availability of Canadian timber and more than
70 years’ experience allow Hamelin to be competitive in many
different markets.
The business environment today requires constant innovation.
Despite the product being an ‘old’ product Hamelin prides
itself on creative thinking. Lumber, steel, reel design and
exterior markings are but a few aspects being reviewed to
reduce total costs to customers.

Simple pay-off system
fromWyrepak
If reels and spools are being used in a
wire mill, there is a good chance there
is a need to pay off wire to a processing
operation such as extrusion, annealing,
cutting, etc.
In most situations, the easiest and most
economical pay-off system is Wyrepak’s
simple spool cap and tension brush, with
the following characteristics:
easy to install
easy to operate
works with most types of wire
diameters from 0.002" up to 0.130",
single strand (0.051 to 3.3mm)
spool sizes from 6" to 49" (152 to
1,245mm)
Tension brushes are made from a special,
very tough nylon monofilament and are
sized according to the wire type and size
for longest life.
