Multi-Blank™ Recoiler
Modular Construction 
A Kentex recoiler is part of the Multi-Blank™ coil processing machinery family. The
recoiler is modular in nature. It can be combined with:
- Decoiler
- Coil car - for decoiler or recoiler
- Main unit - includes coil set removal, slitting and cut-to-length
- Materials receiving cart - accepts flat sheets or slit, cut-to-length trim blanks
Operation Concept
The recoiler is designed to accept a slit strip from a self-powered slitter. The recoiler is not
designed to pull a full width strip through unpowered slitting rolls. The recoiler includes a
slit strip support conveyor which locates at a lowered position for slit strip loading into
the recoiler and elevated during normal recoiler operation. The recoiler includes variable
speed recoiling, adjustable tension on the recoiled slit strip and an overarm separator for
accurate slit strip recoiling.
Hydraulic Power
Recoiler rotation is hydraulically powered. The rotary power includes a disk brake to
provide rapid response stops and prevent undesired rotation during finished coil
unloading. The hydraulic unit is designed to eliminate a heat exchanger. Hydraulic
valves include DIN electrical connectors with indicator lights for easy maintenance.
Whenever possible, hydraulic fittings are ‘O’ ring or JIC to reduce leakage.
Recoiler Mandrel
Recoiler weight capacity is 12,500# x 49” width. Radius formed coil support shoes of
51" length contact the coil ID. A straight slot between two coil support shoes provides
clearance for the slit strip leading end. The two other coil shoes overlap at their junction,
providing full coil ID support. The recoiler mandrel expands manually, using the
included ratchet tool and socket. Manual expansion prevents hydraulic bleed off and
mandrel ID shrink during operation. One coil support shoe includes an eccentric slit strip
pinch shaft to hold the slit strip leading end. The pinch support on the open mandrel end
includes a slot for easy coil removal upon completion.
Recoiling Speed
The recoiler operates at variable speed, controlled by an automatic speed sensing
system. The slit strip conveyor in the raised position creates an above floor recoiling
“loop” to allow for recoiled material variations. The maximum recoiling speed is 150 FPM.
Recoiler Safety
Recoiling speed control and recoiler rotation can be disabled for slit strip loading and coil
unloading. Automatic speed control can be operated so the recoiling speed starts slowly
and increases as desired. Recoiler control functions are mounted in a central location.
Emergency stop buttons are located on both sides of the recoiler.
Slit Strip Tension
The slit strip passes over a cascade entry roll between rotating pinch and rubber-coated
tension rolls. Adjustable slit strip tension is provided by a pneumatic disk brake. The
resistance roll is rubber-coated to retard material finish damage.
Overarm Separator
Slit strip recoiling location is controlled by a pneumatically actuated overarm separator.
The separator includes spacers and knives for accurate recoiling.
Electrical Supply
The equipment requires three-phase electrical supply, 230/3/60 or 460/3/60. Other
electrical voltages and Hz capabilities are available.
Coil Car Option
A recoiler coil car can be provided. The coil car is constructed of heavy steel structural
sections. Coil lift and horizontal movement is hydraulic and includes a safety lock valve.
Foundation Requirements
No special foundation is required - a typical industrial concrete floor is sufficient.
Machine Finish
After fabrication completion, components are machine-cleaned and powder-coated.
Typical finish includes two contrasting colors, such as royal blue and gloss black. A
“typical” color selection range is offered.
Availability
The typical delivery schedule is 12-14 weeks
after the receipt of a firm order and deposit. The delivery schedule varies with our backlog.
