MT-200 to MT-800 ยท Motorized strip recoiling
Automatic Metal Strip Recoiler Machine
Recover continuous strip into rolls, or configure finished coil rewinding around the required tension and coil quality.
Match the MT-Series recoiler to your material, finished coil size and production rhythm. Choose a standard motorized recovery arrangement or review a recoiler with a suitable tension stand.
Use the model table to compare ratings. Confirm the permitted width, material, coil weight, diameter and speed combination for the selected configuration.
Selection logic
Start with the material and the finished roll
Recovery winding and finished coil rewinding place different demands on tension, edge alignment and handling.
Continuous strip recovery
Choose a motorized recoiler when continuous strip, edge trim or connected skeleton material should be recovered into rolls. Define a practical roll size for storage and transfer; coil appearance may be less critical than stable collection.
Finished coil rewinding
For finished, plated or inter-process strip, specify acceptable winding tightness, edge alignment and surface condition. Review a suitable tension stand and strip guidance with the recoiler.
Compact light-strip collection
For lower-load strip and limited space, compare a CR compact recoiler / decoiler configuration. Confirm material, width, thickness, coil weight and speed before selecting a smaller machine.
Review the remaining bridges in stamped skeleton strip, changes in width, burr direction and any joints. Fragile or interrupted waste may need another collection method. Loose slugs form a separate waste stream and are not material for the recoiler mandrel.
Line layout
Plan the connection between the process exit and the reel
MT-Series recoilers collect continuous strip after stamping, slitting, leveling or other coil-fed processes. The exit condition determines the collection arrangement.
- 01
Process exit
Identify the strip condition, exit height and continuous or intermittent delivery pattern.
- 02
Strip path
Plan guidance and any intermediate loop space around the actual material and line layout.
- 03
Tension arrangement
For finished coil quality, review how controlled resistance will be applied before the recoiler.
- 04
Recoiling & transfer
Build the required roll and plan how it will be supported, secured and removed.
Tension & speed
Match winding demand through the complete coil build
A decoiler releases stock into the line. A motorized recoiler takes strip from the exit and builds a coil again.
Back tension and coil quality
A suitable tension stand applies controlled resistance ahead of the recoiler to help build a compact, aligned coil. The required arrangement depends on material thickness, width, strength and surface requirements. Review guide and tension-unit contact points for coated or sensitive strip.
Changing diameter and line output
As the coil grows, its diameter and weight increase. At the same strip speed, a larger coil turns more slowly. A press may also deliver strip in steps. Share feed length, operating rate and normal stops so the drive and control arrangement can be checked from initial winding to the target full coil.
Agree how the recoiler will respond to production changes and pauses. VFD speed control can be evaluated for the line; the tension-control method and machine interface must be specified as part of the complete arrangement.
Application paths
Compare recovery winding and finished coil rewinding
Select the arrangement by what happens to the strip after collection. Installation photographs show configured equipment, with the supplied details confirmed in the technical proposal.
1. Motorized recoiler for continuous recovery strip
A standard motorized arrangement may be suitable when connected skeleton or edge strip is collected into recovery rolls. Confirm material continuity and the roll size needed for downstream transfer.
2. Recoiler with a tension arrangement for finished strip
For finished or plated material, review back tension and guidance against the required surface, winding tightness and edge alignment. Evaluate the complete strip path using representative material.

The weight ranges and โ3000 kg+โ entries are reference descriptions for model selection; the final capacity is specified for the supplied machine. Coil ID, OD, reel structure, load capacity and tension arrangements can be reviewed for customization. A width rating alone does not establish suitability for every material thickness or finished coil weight.
Configuration details
Specify the drive, mandrel and strip guidance
Model options need to work together with the line layout and the required winding quality.
Motorized drive
Active recoiling requires a driven machine. A non-motorized decoiler rack cannot pull in and rewind the strip. Confirm the drive and control arrangement for the intended duty.
Mandrel expansion
The table lists manual or hydraulic expansion by model. Select the supplied arrangement around coil dimensions and operator requirements; expansion type does not define the coil-removal equipment.
Side guides & keepers
A-frame keepers and strip guides help position the material and coil. Review the guide locations, usable width and contact surfaces for the strip being collected.
VFD and line interface
Inverter speed control and coordination with press or line output can be evaluated after checking the production cycle. Confirm the operating range, signals and stop/restart sequence for the delivered controls.
Machine demonstrations

Setup & trial
Plan the first turns, full coil and changeover
Use the operating procedure for the delivered machine and line controls. The sequence below identifies the setup points to confirm with HENLI.
Plan coil support and removal
Allow space for access, coil support and the intended lifting or transfer equipment. Agree how the completed coil will be secured and supported before mandrel release.
Specify any handling or strapping equipment separately. Manual or hydraulic mandrel expansion alone does not provide powered coil removal.
Agree the material trial
Check starting, normal running, planned stops and the approach to the target coil size. Review winding stability, edge position and surface condition with representative material.
Record the accepted settings, configuration, sample condition and coil-handling method as the reference for delivery and production setup.
Other recovery equipment
Choose the collection method by the waste stream
CR small recoilers, suction units and scrap choppers serve different material and handling needs. They are separate equipment choices, with their own specifications.
CR compact recoiler
For continuous light strip and smaller coils, assess a compact motorized CR configuration against material, width, load and speed.
Scrap suction collection
For loose slugs and suitable press waste, review a suction-collection system and its connection to the die area. This is a separate collection method.
Scrap chopper
When suitable continuous waste strip should be cut into shorter pieces instead of stored as a roll, compare the scrap-chopper route.

Buyer questions
Metal strip recoiler FAQ
When do I need a tension stand for my recoiler?
Review a suitable tension stand when rewinding finished, plated or inter-process strip that needs controlled winding tightness and edge alignment. For simple continuous recovery rolls, a standard motorized arrangement may be sufficient after checking the strip and collection requirement.
What is the difference between coil recovery and finished coil rewinding?
Recovery winding focuses on collecting suitable continuous strip into rolls for handling and transfer. Finished coil rewinding also needs agreed surface condition, winding tightness and edge alignment for packaging or the next process.
Can this recoiler work with high-speed presses?
The MT model table lists a standard recoiling speed of 15 m/min. For other production requirements, HENLI can evaluate drive selection, inverter control and line coordination after checking the strip, output pattern and intended coil build.
Can the same machine be used for uncoiling and recoiling?
A suitable heavy-duty machine body can be configured for either duty, but active recoiling requires a motorized version. Confirm the drive, controls, winding direction and intended use with HENLI; the machine body alone does not establish dual-purpose capability.
Can HENLI customize coil ID, OD and load capacity?
Yes. Coil ID, OD, reel structure, load capacity and tension arrangements can be reviewed after confirming the material, finished coil dimensions and line layout. The supplied specification defines the approved combination.
What should I provide for a recoiler quotation?
Provide material type, thickness and width, coil ID and OD, finished weight, line speed and delivery cycle, recovery or finished-product purpose, required winding quality, available space and coil-handling method.
Can loose slugs or broken scrap be wound onto the recoiler?
The recoiler needs a suitable connected strip. Review fragile skeletons, joints and changes in width before choosing roll recovery. For loose slugs or material that should be cut into short pieces, compare the separate suction-collection or scrap-chopper options.
