A perfect combination of space savings and dynamics: the GSW Compact Feed Lines Our Compact Feed Lines are an ideal answer to the challenge of a constraint floor and necessity to process thick materials. Marrying the processes of leveling and indexing into one Feeder-Straightener machine allows for a complete Feed Line with only two individual machines and thus greatly reduces the necessary length. Additionally, the decoupling of the coil mass from the indexing process – achieved through a short loop between Coil Reel and Feeder-Straightener – enables dynamic feeding despite the compact footprint. And, if cross-sections are especially big, the loop can be spared completely, creating yet more space. One more advantage, virtually a by-product out of their very nature, is the quicker set-up of our Compact Feed Lines. This elevates them to not only space- but also time-savers!

If you need two Coil Reels to hold one coil, you need a Heavy-Duty Coil Feed Line above all. One that is designed extremely robust and knows to subdue even materials of highest bounce and largest cross-sections.To ensure this, we have taken no heed to cost savings but went by the maximum principle: 2 Coil Reels with high-performance arbors retain the coils from left and right. 2 x 2 hydraulic arms secure them from top and bottom – each with eight tons pressure force, each with hydraulically driven snubber roll. The loading is done with one central lifting gear built into a super-duty running frame for the V-nest. Hydraulic manipulators with pivoting and bending function support the threading of the material. On the receiving end, a Pre-Straightener with 200mm work rolls takes over, after hydraulic edge guides have ensured central entry. Now, if someone asks us our definition of “heavy-duty”: We find 36.000 kilogram coil weight and 2.
