Technical data INF-1 Movie The Gimax Pail Packer has been designed to coil most types of wire in a variety of drum sizes, from the smallest 100 kg packs up to the traditional 350 kg and even reach the large 1000 kg drum size. The Pail Packer is equipped with two capstains which not only draw the wire into the machine but also ensure that it is kept taut and twist-free. The wire passes through a series of straighteners and is then coiled into the drum by a flyer which layers the wire in a rosette fashion. The drum is made to turn on an eccentric with respect to the flyer as well as turning on its own axis, this is to ensure that the pattern of the wire layers is kept correct and constant. The machine is also equipped with a system to vibrate the drum so that the wire settles well into the drum itself (it is possible to vary the frequency of the vibrations as well as the interval between each vibration and the next). The system used by the Gimax Pail Packer does not require the use of a drum with a central core – the machine does not need the core as a reference and therefore the cost of a drum is in fact lower. It also means that it is possible to use a drum that has a guide cone to pull out the wire built into it and not oblige the end-user to add one onto the drum.
