1.5 Ton Coil Capacity Tube Mill Machine ZY16 Φ8-18mm HF Welded Pipe Line

Problem

Small coil capacity forces frequent coil changes, and every change either stops the line or risks a weld defect if the strip runs out mid-tube, dragging down daily output.

Cause

The uncoiler's physical load rating limits how much strip can be loaded, so low capacity means more stops and more strip-end waste per shift, and each restart is a chance for a weld defect.

Solution

The ZY16 uncoiler carries up to 1.5-ton coils, and its double-mandrel pneumatic grip plus the 200m/min accumulator let the line run through coil changes. Fewer stops mean more meters of Φ8-18mm tube per shift and less end scrap, directly improving throughput and cost per ton.

Key Engineering Data

• 1.5-ton coil capacity extends run time between changeovers.
• Fewer stops cut downtime and restart weld defects.
• Less strip-end scrap improves material yield per shift.
• Double-mandrel grip supports heavy coils without edge damage.

Performance & Quality

With 1.5-ton coil capacity, the ZY16 runs hours between changeovers, so downtime and strip-end scrap both fall. Fewer stops also mean fewer restart weld defects, so the mill's rated speed translates into more salable Φ8-18mm tube per shift. On a high-volume furniture or conduit line, that reduction in changeover frequency alone adds a measurable number of finished meters to every working shift.

Application

For high-output Φ8-18mm tube production where minimizing coil-change downtime and end scrap directly improves profitability.

Selection Guide

Choose the 1.5-ton configuration if your coil supply comes in large master coils. Confirm your coil ID, OD and width so the mandrel and guides are sized for smooth pay-off.

Application Scenarios

Continuous furniture and conduit tube runs, high-volume fence tube production and any line where coil-change downtime is a major cost.

FAQ

Q1. How much strip does a 1.5-ton coil yield?

It depends on width and gauge; a 1.5-ton coil of thin strip can run for hours at 90m/min, sharply reducing changeovers.

Q2. Does a heavier coil damage thin strip?

No, the pneumatic mandrel and controlled back tension protect thin edges during pay-off, so heavier coils feed smoothly.

Q3. What if my coils are lighter?

The uncoiler accepts coils up to 1.5 tons, so lighter coils also run without issue.

Q4. Do I need special handling for 1.5-ton coils?

Standard coil handling equipment sized for 1.5 tons is sufficient; the mill's mandrel and guides are matched to your coil ID and OD.

Q5. How much does 1.5-ton capacity improve yield?

It reduces coil-change stops and tail-end scrap, typically lifting per-shift yield noticeably versus smaller-capacity uncoilers.

Q6. How is coil loading done?

A coil car or overhead crane lifts the coil onto the mandrel; the pneumatic mandrel then expands to grip the ID.
