Coil Cars
Coil Cars The Colt Heavy Duty Coil Car is designed for the purpose of loading new coils on to the Uncoilers thus keeping the down time in the Press Feeding Cycle to a minimum. These Coil Cars are self contained with their own hydraulic power pack and have the capability to accurately position the Coil on the Mandrel of the Uncoiler thus preventing possible damage to the Uncoiler Mandrel or to the material. The use of the Coil Car is recommended for situations where material handling equipment is not always available to load coils on to the Uncoiler therefore preventing excessive delays in re-loading the Uncoiler. The Coil Car is available for this purpose. The hydraulic power is used for raising and lowering the table and also provides forward and reverse travel motion.

Uncoilers Reels
The Light, Medium and Heavy Duty Reel Uncoilers are designed to handle coils up to a maximum of 70,000 lbs., a diameter to 84 in. O.D. and a width up to 84 in. Of rugged construction, long equipment life is ensured by the use of a variable speed A.C. frequency drive, the controlled acceleration and deceleration removes all shock and impact in the drive train normally associated with intermittent motion. Automatic loop control assures that material is fed from the coil at precisely the speed required to maintain a regular flow through the entire line. Forward/Reverse and jog controls permit accurate in-feed and rewind operations.

Colt Coil Handling Equipment
Colt Coil Handling equipment consists of Coil Cars, Uncoiler Reels,and Cradles, that have the capability of handling coils weighing up to 70,000lb., 84' wide and 84' diameter.

Press Feeding Equipment
The Press Feeding equipment includes Straighteners, and Roll Feed Units automated with the latest control devices for programming optimum service conditions that provide maximum production output. Combination machines (Systems) are available to suit requirements where space may be limited i.e Cradle/Straighteners/Feeders with servo drives that permit complete system control.

Power Straightener
Colt provides a range of Straightener including Medium and Heavy Duty Straighteners. Colt's Heavy Duty Straightener utilizes an adjustable roll bank in conjunction with entry & exit pinch rolls. The Pinch Rollers have Pneumatic lifters and are available with satin finish for greater surface traction. This unit also incorporates dial indicators for reading and setting of the upper bank of straightening coils
