Irrigation Pipe Packaging Equipment

Flat Drip Irrigation Pipe Coiling & Wrapping Machine

Fully automatic irrigation pipe packaging line integrating coiling, cutting and film wrapping for irrigation drip tapes

The flat drip irrigation pipe coiling & wrapping machine is a fully automatic solution specifically designed for high-speed drip tape production lines. The packaging system supports production speeds of up to 360m/min and integrates a complete automated workflow, including coiling, cutting, reel changeover, paper core replacement, film wrapping, and coil discharge.

With fast and stable coiling, precise cutting, rapid reel and core changeover, uniform film wrapping for product protection, and accurate tension control, the system ensures consistent product quality. Its high level of automation reduces labor intensity and manpower requirements, while the integrated design allows easy maintenance and improved production efficiency. The packaging machine serves as a highly efficient finishing solution for high-speed drip tape production.

• Dual-station coiling with automatic paper core changeover
  A high-strength frame combined with anti-slip rollers enables dual-station reel changeover without stopping the production line. A paper core magazine with a capacity of 20 cores and a robotic arm (positioning accuracy ≤0.1mm) performs automatic core replacement, supporting continuous operation at 360m/min and increasing production capacity by more than 40%.
• Closed-loop tension control system
  Sensors, servo drives, and PLC control dynamically adjust speed in real time. Tension accuracy of ±5N prevents drip tape breakage and wrinkling during high-speed operation.
• High-speed cutting system
  Alloy cutting blades combined with photoelectric positioning enable precise cutting at 360m/min. Blade service life exceeds 100,000 cycles, with burr-free cutting, threefold accuracy improvement, and fivefold service life extension.
• Fully automatic film wrapping and coil discharge system
  PE film wrapping with adjustable layers from 1 to 3 and automatic film cutting is combined with pneumatic ejection and conveyor transport. The automatic system can be directly linked to palletizing lines, enabling unmanned operation and increasing efficiency by up to five times.

• Enhanced product protection
  Precise tension control ensures wrinkle-free coiling, while PE film wrapping provides protection against dust, moisture, and UV exposure, extending product shelf life.
• High-speed capacity upgrade
  Fully compatible with production lines running at up to 360 m/min, with reel changeover completed in ≤ 8 seconds. Compared with conventional 200 m/min systems, overall productivity can be increased by up to 80%, while flexible configuration options support a wide range of application scenarios.
• Automation-driven cost reduction
  The fully automated process requires only one operator for monitoring, reducing labor costs by approximately 70%. Product qualification rate increases from 95% to 99.8%.
• Intelligent operation and maintenance
  Real-time monitoring, alarm functions, and remote data access improve maintenance efficiency by approximately 60% and reduce unplanned downtime by 80%.
• Strong modular adaptability
  Configurations can be adjusted as required. Speed upgrades require only limited component replacement, reducing upgrade costs by 30-50%.
• Long service life with low operating cost
  Manufactured using high-grade materials to ensure a service life of≥10 years (MTBF≥8000 hours). Annual maintenance costs are approximately 2%, reducing long-term operating costs by around 60%.
