Reel
Reel — this is a device or structure designed for winding, storing, and transporting various types of cables, wires, cords, tapes, or other long-length materials. It is used in various industries, including electrical engineering, telecommunications, construction, and manufacturing.
- Manufacturing time: 15 calendar days.
- Expedited delivery: from 5 days.
General information about reels
Purpose
Cable reels are designed for the convenient storage, transportation, and use of various types of cables. The main functions and purposes of cable reels are:
- Cable Storage - Reels help to neatly organize the cable, preventing it from tangling and getting damaged during long-term storage.
- Transportation - During transportation, the cable is wound onto reels to facilitate loading, unloading, and to prevent mechanical damage.
- Ease of Use - The cable can be unwound directly from the reel in the required amount, which simplifies its installation and mounting.
- Protection from Damage - Reels protect the cable from physical impacts such as bends, deformation, and breaks, especially in industrial and construction site conditions.
- Space Optimization - Thanks to reels, the cable takes up less space than if it were stored without being wound.
- Marking and Identification - Reels are convenient for placing labels with information about the cable type, length, specifications, and manufacturer.
Principle of Use
Cable reels are an important element in the cable industry, providing convenience in the transportation, storage, and use of cable products. Here are the main features and types of cable reels:
1. Material of Manufacture
- Wooden Reels: Suitable for single-use or temporary storage. They are environmentally friendly and relatively inexpensive, but less durable. They are used for lightweight cables and in cases of small volumes.
- Metal Reels: Strong and durable, suitable for heavy and large cables. They are resistant to weather conditions and mechanical damage. Used for cables of large length or weight.
- Plastic Reels: Lightweight, resistant to corrosion and weather conditions. They are durable but less strong than metal reels. Used for small and medium-sized cables.
2. Sizes and Capacity
Reels come in various sizes, determined by the diameter and width of the drum. The choice depends on: Cable length, cable diameter, and conditions of transportation and storage.
3. Design
Foldable Reels: Allow space-saving during transportation when disassembled.
Reinforced Reels: Used for heavy cables or cables with high rigidity.
Centralized Mounting Reels: Facilitate the winding and unwinding of the cable.
4. Features for Transportation
Special mounting holes for securing the cable. Vibration and impact resistance. Stacking capability for space-saving.
5. Technological Aspects
Ability to wind at high speeds. Compatibility with automatic winding and packaging lines for cables. Powder coating or galvanization (for metal reels) for corrosion protection.
6. Additional Options
Labeling (brand, cable length, weight). Recycling capability (for plastic and metal reels). Special coatings to prevent cable slippage.
Questions-aswers
When choosing a reel for large-diameter power cables, the following factors are important to consider: reel material, size, load capacity, design, transportation and storage conditions, and compatibility with equipment.
