Technical data The new concept Pail Packer has been designed by Gimax to revolutionise the process of packing wire into drums. The INF-4 Pail Packer is a fully packaged unit in the sense that the only separate entity from the main body is the driven pay-off. The dancer and the electrical control cabinet have been incorporated into the main body. This means a reduction in space occupancy and consequently a saving in costs. The pail packer can handle various drum types (round, hexagonal, octagonal) and sizes ranging from small 100kg up to the traditional 350kg drums and right up to the large 1000kg drums – the INF-4 does not require drums with a central core, another saving in costs. The INF-4 is a high speed machine which has been able to achieve in some cases, a linear speed of over 30 metres / second with 1mm diameter MIG (CO2) wire - the final speed will always vary depending on the wire type, characteristics and size. The unit does not use the traditional method of raising and lowering the drum during the process; the INF-4 makes use of an innovative process in which the drum remains at floor level and the front part of the machine is raised while the wire is being layered. The combination of the drum rotation, flyer rotation and distinctive design of the flyer ensure the highest quality, twist-free layering of the wire within the drum. The unit is equipped with wire straighteners, capstain and vibrator to settle the wire in the drum and also has an operator platform to allow easy access to all parts of the unit for maintenance and to thread the wire through the system.
The INF-4 can also be equipped with an optional video-cam system which allows the operator to check the inside the drum as well as other parts of the system while the unit is in operation. Company History - Staff - Agents - Gimax Products - GIMAX GROUP - Contacts - Restricted Area
