Hydraulic Decoiler

Coil handling

Hydraulic Decoiler

A hydraulic decoiler can make your roll-forming operation faster, easier, and more efficient, especially if you're processing coils regularly. Unlike a manual decoiler, a hydraulic decoiler uses powered expansion and controls to load, secure, and feed the coil into your roll-forming equipment. This reduces the amount of manual handling required and helps create a smoother production process.

Features

Built for Performance

Load with a forklift, not a crane

Set the coil on the car with a forklift, and the car lifts, centers, and drives the coil onto the mandrel on four guide pillars. Coil cars are rated to match each specific decoiler model.

Hydraulic expansion that holds

A four-segment mandrel expands hydraulically to grip the coil ID from 18 to 22 inches with enough force to hold a 40,000 lb coil steady in reverse. The segment faces are broad enough to protect painted stock.

Speed that follows the line

An induction loop sensor watches the strip and speeds the payoff motor up or down to match the roll former, so the strip never goes taut and never piles on the floor. Pneumatic braking stops the coil when the line stops.

Fits what you already run

Sold as part of every Roll Worx line, and sold alone to replace a manual decoiler on a machine you already own. Give us your coil ID, width, and weight and we will match the model.

  • Frequently Asked Questions:

    What is the difference between a manual, motorized, and hydraulic decoiler?

    A manual decoiler is a free-spinning mandrel the roll former pulls against; fine for light coil. A motorized decoiler drives the coil so the line is not dragging it. A hydraulic decoiler adds hydraulic mandrel expansion and usually a coil car, which is what you want above about 5,000 lb.

    What capacity do I need?

    Match it to your heaviest master coil. Painted 29 ga roofing coil at 41 in usually ships at 8,000 to 12,000 lb, so a 20,000 lb unit gives you room for heavier gauge or wider coil later.

    Will it work with a roll former I already own?

    Yes. The decoiler is a standalone machine with its own hydraulic unit and controls. We match coil ID and width to your machine's infeed.

    Why do I need a coil car?

    A 20,000 lb coil does not go on a mandrel with a forklift safely. The car lifts and centers the coil and drives it on, and the same car takes the empty core off.

    What power does it need?

    3-phase, 60 Hz, 480V or 240V
