FUHR Wire Rolling mills – Specialist in pay-offs and take-ups

FUHR Wire Rolling Mills is known for its cold rolling mills for flat and shaped wires of ferrous and nonferrous metals for decades. Payoffs and take ups are standard units of our highly customized mills. FUHR’s oscillating layer spoolers guarantee failure free spools of flat and rectangular wires – layer by layer.

Type SMH | Cantilever spool mounting
The machines of SMH type are characterized by the one-sided take-up of the material to be wound. This is referred to as a so-called cantilever spooler. It makes these machines less expensive than comparable designs with two sleeves (type SMH-Pi). A cantilever spooler is only possible when the bore of the reels is big enough for them to be mounted on a stable spindle. This means that coil bore and weight must be in an appropriate relation to one another.

Type SMH-Pi | 2-sided spool fixation The machines of the SMH-Pi type are characterized by the take-up of reels from both sides. The machines are equipped with a counter sleeve for this purpose.

Double sided reel take-up is always necessary when the bore of the coil is so small that a (cantilever) spindle supported on one side only would be too weak to carry the reel.

The machine types described above feature modular design and can therefore be supplied in many variations. They are used with reels made of steel, plastic or wood, but can also be equipped with expanding mandrels for the production of coreless coils when strips are processed. All models are available with and without oscillation.

As spoolers and de-spoolers are standard units in FUHR’s portfolio, they are the ones to talk to about rewinding and inspection lines.
