10-Ton Decoiler: Heavy Coil Handling Guide
What a 10-ton decoiler nameplate actually rates, how coil mass is calculated, and how that reel differs from a 10 t tipper or loading car. Named hydraulic packages stay labeled.
Double Head / Dual Side Decoilers Explained
What a dual-head decoiler is: two mandrels on one base with a rotate index. How that differs from two independent decoilers on a sandwich line. Per-side tonnage stays per-side.
Gutter Folding Machines: K-Style
K-style gutters are usually roll-formed on a rain-gutter mill. A CNC folder folds long flashings and custom troughs from blanks. Folder kilowatts and mill metres-per-minute stay on their own machines.
Shearing Machines in Roll Forming Lines
Shear on a roll-forming line is stop-cut, flying/tracking, guillotine, pedal, or a leveling-shear cell. Named 3.8 kW flying, 4×4000 guillotine 7.5 kW, and 15-roll leveling-shear stay labeled.
Metal Folding Machines: Folding vs Roll Forming
A folder bends blanks. A roll former profiles coil continuously. 8 m CNC folder (~7.5/8 kW, ~125°) is not a roof mill. 3 m press brake ≤2 mm is a third crate.
Automatic Decoiler vs Manual Decoiler: When to Upgrade
When a manual decoiler is enough on a roll forming line, and when motorized or hydraulic automatic payoff is the upgrade. Mandrel expand and driven tension are different decisions.
