Hose Winder/Unwinder Systems

The Hose Winder / Unwinder for High Pressure Hose from Ecotech Industries is a robust, fully automated solution designed for handling rigid and flexible high-pressure hoses. Built with a servo-driven traverse unit, AC drive-controlled reel, and laser speed sensing technology, this machine delivers unmatched accuracy, consistency, and efficiency.

High-pressure hoses are essential in industries such as automotive, hydraulics, construction, and energy. The winding and unwinding process plays a critical role in ensuring hose quality, preventing damage, and maintaining precise coiling for storage and further assembly. Ecotech’s hose winder and unwinder system is designed specifically to meet these demands with reliability, safety, and operator ease at its core.

Hose Winder for High Pressure Rigid Hose

This machine is purpose-built for winding and unwinding high-pressure rigid hoses, ensuring smooth operation without compromising structural integrity. Rigid hoses, which must withstand extreme pressures in hydraulic and industrial systems, require precise handling during storage and processing.

The winder/unwinder ensures hoses are coiled with the correct tension and pitch, preventing deformation and extending their service life. This makes it an invaluable tool for manufacturers who prioritize both efficiency and product quality.

Suitable for Variable Diameter Hoses (8mm to 50mm)

Flexibility is a hallmark of Ecotech’s hose winder/unwinder. The system is capable of handling hoses with diameters ranging from 8mm to 50mm, covering a wide spectrum of industrial applications.

Whether it’s a small-diameter hydraulic hose or a larger industrial pressure hose, the machine adjusts automatically to accommodate different sizes. This versatility reduces the need for multiple winding systems and provides a cost-effective solution for manufacturers managing diverse product lines.

Automatic Pitch Setting According to Diameter

The machine comes with an automatic pitch setting feature that adjusts winding pitch based on the hose diameter. By automating this critical step, the system ensures uniform winding and prevents overlaps, gaps, or loose coils.

For high-pressure hoses, where consistency directly impacts product performance and storage safety, automatic pitch adjustment saves time, enhances precision, and reduces manual intervention.

Servo Driven Traverse Unit

The servo-driven traverse unit ensures precise lateral movement during the winding process. Servo technology provides high responsiveness, accurate positioning, and long-term reliability.

This unit guarantees that the hose is distributed evenly across the reel or drum, creating neat, uniform coils. Servo-driven motion also allows the system to adapt quickly to changes in hose diameter and speed, making it ideal for dynamic production environments.

AC Drive Controlled Main Reel Drive

The main reel drive is powered by an AC drive system, offering smooth acceleration, deceleration, and speed control. AC drives are known for their energy efficiency and reliability, making them suitable for continuous industrial use.

By integrating the reel with an AC drive, Ecotech’s winder/unwinder ensures consistent torque and speed control, reducing mechanical stress on both the hose and the machine.

Automatic Speed Synchronization with Incoming Line Speed

One of the key features of this system is its ability to automatically synchronize with the incoming line speed. As hoses are produced upstream, the winder/unwinder matches its speed in real-time, eliminating slack, tension imbalances, or misalignment.

This synchronization ensures smooth operation across the entire production line, improving efficiency and reducing downtime caused by manual adjustments.

Drum/Reel Width Selection from PLC

The system includes a PLC-controlled drum/reel width selection feature, allowing operators to adjust reel settings digitally. By automating this process, the machine reduces setup time and provides precise alignment for different reel or drum sizes.

This adaptability ensures that the same system can be used across multiple production lines, supporting varying customer and industry requirements.

Automatic Speed Sensing with Laser Sensor

Equipped with a laser-based speed sensing system, the machine provides real-time feedback on line speed and reel rotation. This non-contact sensor ensures accuracy, longevity, and reliability even in demanding environments.

Laser sensors eliminate wear-and-tear associated with mechanical sensors while offering highly precise measurements. By continuously monitoring speed, the system ensures flawless synchronization with upstream processes.

Rugged Heavy Structure

The machine is designed with a rugged, heavy-duty structure to handle the demands of high-pressure hose winding and unwinding. Built with robust materials and reinforced design, it withstands vibrations, load stress, and continuous operations.

This structural durability ensures long service life and consistent performance even in demanding industrial facilities.

Customized Design for Different Reels/Drums

Ecotech recognizes that not all industries use standard reel or drum sizes. That’s why the Hose Winder/Unwinder can be customized to suit different reel and drum dimensions.

This customization ensures compatibility with existing production setups, offering flexibility without requiring additional infrastructure. Manufacturers can adapt the system to their unique needs, reducing costs and enhancing operational efficiency.
