Ground Type Horizontal Spiral Accumulator

In welded pipe production lines, when a coil of steel strip is exhausted and a new coil is needed, the preceding and succeeding strips must be sheared and welded. A horizontal spiral accumulator temporarily stores a large amount of steel strip during this period, providing a buffer for the welding process and ensuring continuous operation of the downstream forming machine, avoiding downtime.

It is primarily installed between the uncoiler and leveler (or shear-and-welder) and the forming machine and is used in high-frequency welded pipe production lines and cold-rolled strip processing lines.

Structural Features

Horizontal, compact design:

Saving vertical space, suitable for plants with height restrictions

Maintaining material integrity:

Optimized roller surface treatment (such as wear-resistant coating) reduces steel strip wear

Smooth conveying avoids stacking and uneven tension, making it particularly suitable for delicate materials such as galvanized sheet and bright-finished strip

Automation Integration:

Linked with the uncoiler, leveler, and welder, it enables single-person operation of the entire line, improving efficiency.
