DRUM PACKING
INF SERIES
Gimax drum packers will coil welding wire in drums so that when it is drawn out of the drum it is torsion-free (no-twist) complying with the needs of robotised welding equipment.
Revolutionary concept – drum remains at floor level so:
-
Vibrator is more effective in settling wire in drum
-
Easier to inspect drum during operation
-
Easier to thread wire through machine
-
Easier to carry out maintenance
-
Compact design for low space occupancy
-
Different types of drums (round or other forms, with or without pallet incorporated)
-
Extractor for effortless drum removal
-
Siemens control system
-
Touch screen user interface and profinet connection
-
Video camera 7 inch to check wire inside drum during operation.
-
Regenerative inverter & high efficiency motors for energy saving.

INF-2: FLEXIBILITY
The INF-2 is a no-twist drum packer for medium speed applications (where high speed is either not required or possible), designed to match reliability with flexibility.
With its standard flyer it can use drums with or without a central core.
INF-4: HIGH SPEED
The INF-4, by far the fastest and most productive no-twist drum packer today, can easily reach a top speed of over 30 metres per second. Revolutionary flyer design means that drums must be without central core.

INF-3: INCREASED FLEXIBILITY
The INF-3 is a similar machine to the INF-2 but with a greater degree of flexibility resulting mainly from the larger diameter capstan. The INF-3 is particulary suitable from especially dedicate wires, for example alumminium, or some types of flux core wire.
INF-5: HIGH SPEED & FLEXIBILITY
Like the INF-4, the INF-5 can only use drums without a centre core. It’s large capstan allows it handle more different or dedicate wires and also reach higher speeds.
