Water Cylinder Wrapper Production Line

This line of machinery is capable of producing a 'Completed water cylinder wrapper' of Ø480mm to Ø580mm x 686mm to 1942mm long, by means of a two-piece construction from coil. The line is capable of producing an average of 1 to 3 completed cylinders per minute dependent upon the cylinder length and hole configuration. Over 200 product recipes can be stored and a queuing system allows 10 different products to be entered during running.
