Checking and Maintaining your Recoilers
“Accuracy and Speed” these two factors are needed in the process of metal bending and slitting. To
ensure that the processes still practice these factors, it is important to keep them error-proof to enable
them to slit with precision and accuracy. But lack of maintenance and machine errors makes the
recoilers Valparaiso IN from inaccurate bending. These scrap materials are unusable and it is a great
source of loss of profit for the business owner.
Before you go and start blaming your personnel about the errors made by your machines, you should
inspect the recoilers first for machine errors and see if the large rolling equipment is experiencing
technical problem or does not roll well. This allows you to know about the problems that the recoilers
are experiencing. To conserve tons of coils from the recoiler, read this article and learn more about the
proper maintenance you need to do for your recoiler and other coil processing equipment.
Check the Feeder
The input or the feeding area is the first area to inspect when your coils are improperly bend or having
consistency problems. Coil processing equipment does have a feed for the raw material. Most of the
machines need to be precisely fed by the proper materials with the right angle to avoid folding problems
during the rolling and the process. According to the fabricator.com, most of the problems with coil
slitting or coil processing equipment would be the insertion of the material. Make sure that the material
has no physical defect on its edges and only insert consistent materials only.
If the rolled coil or the products from the recoiler have inconsistencies within its surface, make sure to
check the feeder and see if you are inserting the material the wrong way.
Look at the Results
Metal slitting and coil processing equipment problems could be detected by looking at the results
generated or processed by the machine. When problems such as Burrs, Knife marks and edge wave
exists in the products, then it is time to have your machine to be checked by the manufacturer or ask
for a third party to help you detect problems that are existing in your slitting.

2. Do not over-feed the Machine
There is an appropriate timing for feeding the machine. The machine feeding process is accurate; it
needs to process specific material before you can even feed another metal sheet in it. By feeding it with
the right material at the right time, jamming problems would be eliminated. Most processing machines’
problems are material jamming inside the machine that is caused by over-feeding. Ask the manufacturer
or refer to the manual about the proper feeding to the material
Have a Regular Maintenance
The key in knowing about your machine is to regularly maintain the machine. Your workers could look
upon the machine and the products, they could tell you what seems to be the problem with it and know
if they are seeing inconsistencies within the materials.
After you buy the machine from the manufacturer, always ask about the maintenance of the machine.
Some companies offer machineries that are pre-owned where it could provide you extreme amounts of
head ache. Make sure to ask your vendor about the weekly maintenance of your coil processing
equipments.
Have a professional to inspect your Machine
Whenever you are experiencing little problems or slight problems with your machine, do not hesitate to
call for a coil processing expert to diagnose your machine. They know what are causing these problems
and the reasons why these machines are inaccurate. They could help you align correctly the bearings
and the other rollers. Part of their responsibility would be checking if your material has inconsistency or
what are the major causes of the problem.
By not calling a professional immediately leads into larger coil processing problems. Installing
accessories and additional technology and development may also contribute to the current problem.
These professionals could see what is going on within the machine and what do you need to add and
remove to make sure that the feeder, process and the result would be optimized.
Maintaining your recoilers and coil processing equipment is an easy task. Make sure to follow these
instructions for you not to experience any distress from problems in the processing.
