Coil processing with
decoiling and recoiling
FORSTNER has been developing
and manufacturing machines for
professional processing of coils since
1960. From the very beginning the
prime objectives of all development
have been the easy handling of coils
and return of the investments in
Forstner lines. The results are field-
proven products made with reliable
designs ensuring extended operating
life. A Forstner multiple decoiling,
slitting and cut-to-length line basically
includes the following units:
• up to eight powered decoilers with
bearing on one side – cantilever
• powered guidelines
• eight-fold coil selector for automatic
selection of any available material
• programmable or manual straight-
ener with up to eight rolls
• programmable or manual slitter with
up to ten pairs of knives
• electro-mechanical guillotine
• SPS control unit with touch screen
Several decoilers are available, up to
a maximum coil weight of 12 tons. The
decoilers with bearing on one side can
be rapidly loaded with a crane, forklift
or a coil cart. The practicality of coil
selection, the valuable time savings and
the well-controlled decoiling procedure
ensure efficient fabrication.
Powered decoilers provide
advantages for efficient loading and
ensure thorough protection of valuable
sheet. Even highly sensitive types will
be decoiled unscratched.
To meet the requirements of the
fabricators of small and medium coils
Forstner developed recoiling systems
that can be added to the slitting and cut-
to-length lines, as well as stand-alone
recoilers.
