The vital role of packaging in the wire and cable industry
What is a standard wooden spool?
Components of a wooden reel
- Flanges (side walls): which are responsible for maintaining the cable and bearing lateral pressure.
- Central cylinder (Barrel): around which the cable is wrapped and must have a smooth and resistant surface.
- Screws and metal connections: which connect the wooden components together.
Why wooden spool? Examination of technical and economic benefits
1. Super strength and durability
2. Ability to repair and modify easily
3. Flexibility in dimensions and design (customization)
4. Thermal and moisture protection
5. Compatibility with the environment
6. Proper friction and stability
The importance of standard compliance in the production of wooden spools
- Using dry wood: The moisture of the wood must be controlled so that the pulley does not warp and loose connections after construction.
- Smooth inner surface: The inside of the cylinder and the inner surface of the flanges must be completely smooth and free of nails or sharp chips so as not to injure the cable sheath.
- Reinforcement with metal belts: For large pulleys, use metal belts. All around the flange is necessary to multiply its strength.
- Exact center of balance: The central hole of the pulley must be exactly in the center of gravity so that it does not wobble when it rotates on the base.
Economic comparison: cost versus benefit
The use of wooden reels in various industries
The production process in Hosseini's wooden reel collection
- Choosing wood: Buying the best Nerad, Russian and forest wood with suitable density.
- Precise cutting: Using advanced cutting machines to create perfect and accurate flange circles.
- Machining and finishing: Polishing the contact surfaces with the cable to prevent any physical damage.
- Professional assembly: Using steel bolts and washers wide for connecting parts with maximum torque.
- Quality control: Final check of the dimensions and strength of the pulley before delivery to the customer.
Key points in buying and ordering a wooden reel
- Cable weight: Be sure to estimate the final weight of the wrapped cable and inform the manufacturer.
- Cable diameter: The bending radius of the cable determines the diameter of the central cylinder (Barrel). If the diameter of the cylinder is small, the cable will break.
- Transportation conditions: If the reels are to be exported or travel a long distance, they need more reinforcements.
- Type of wood: Depending on the budget and sensitivity of the work, you can choose the type of wood.
