Coil loading cars run from air line

Coil loading cars run from air line

A series of new, low cost, easy to install coil loading cars from the Rotobloc-PSP division of the Dimeco Groupe is available. The coil cars - CCM.3 (maximum load 3,000 kgs), 4 and 5 (maximum load 4,500 kgs) - have been designed for easy retrofitting to most de-coilers found in coil processing lines and require only a minimum amount of floor space. They only require an air supply line to operate the lifting carriage to load coils with a maximum diameter of 1,500 mm and maximum width of 1,500 mm. For narrow coils, four holding pins can be supplied as an option. A small electric motor fitted to the end of the rails is used to move the carriage in and out. Operating on a set of 2-rails designed to fit under the feet of the decoiler, the rails are bolted to the floor, reducing any tilting and de-railing to an absolute minimum. All models have a very low height at bottom dead centre (BDP) of 315 mm and the maximum lifting height is 500 mm for loading and unloading of coils.
