Cable Tray Manufacturing Line — Factory Layout and Utilities

HOPEX-Cable Tray Line Planning

A cable tray manufacturing line is 30 metres long. Where it sits in the building affects coil handling, finished goods flow and how many people it takes to run. Plan the space before the container arrives.

Physical Envelope

Clearances to Allow

• Coil loading access at the decoiler end for a 10 tonne coil.
• Run-out space beyond the cut-off for 2000 – 3000 mm workpieces.
• Side access along the mill for roller inspection and adjustment.
• Space at the control cabinet for the operator to see the line.

Floor Loading

At 50000 kg the line is a permanent installation, not something to be repositioned casually. Confirm floor capacity across the full 30 × 2.5 × 2.2 m footprint rather than at a single point.

Electrical Supply

Material Flow Around the Line

1. Coil storage adjacent to the decoiler end.
2. Coil lifted onto the electric decoiler, 10 t maximum loading.
3. Strip runs the length of the line through levelling, punching and forming.
4. Finished trays received at the run-out end.
5. Bundling and dispatch area beyond the run-out.
