Meltech Engineering designs and manufactures automated coiling and winding systems for extruded metal products. These are available as standard and bespoke designs and offer semi and fully automated operation for accurate winding and coiling at up to 150 metres per minute.

In semi and fully automated production the Meltech winding equipment coils continuously at full production speed even during transfer of the tube or profile to another reel for coiling while a full reel is removed. It allows extrusion machines to operate at faster speeds continuously, maximising extrusion throughout.

Typically the winding control system will feature a selection of ‘recipes’ which selects the winding pitch settings and reel sizes, allowing operators to choose the optimum winding tension for a particular metal / profile.

Meltech machines provide accurate layering of extruded profiles. Automated winding of extrusion profiles comes into its own when handling continuous multi-rod extrusions. The ability to continuously wind multiple tubes of complex profiles highlights the productivity benefits over manual handling. Add to this the opportunity to use multiple die heads and handle multiport tubes and the case for automated winding is difficult to ignore.
