The advantages of Horizontal accumulator
-
High Storage Capacity for Continuous ProductionThe spiral accumulator stores hundreds of meters of strip by vertically looping the material. This ensures uninterrupted supply during coil changes and welding — ideal for high-speed and large-scale tube mills.
-
Improved Product AccuracyStable material flow reduces strip deviation and ensures better dimensional precision during forming and welding. -
Stable Tension ControlWith a natural free loop inside the tower, the system absorbs speed variations across the line. This provides consistent tension and smoother forming performance.
The comparison of Accumulator and Horizontal accumulator
Both of their main function is to store a certain amount of steel strip for supplying main machine before it doing head and end welding to make sure main machine’s continuous production without stopping.
The accumulator is suitable for MG-16 to MG-60 tube mill lines, while the Horizontal Accumulator is used for MG-60 and above.
The accumulator can store 150–300 meters of steel strip, but the horizontal accumulator has a charging speed of 120–200 meters per minute.
In terms of space, the accumulator is specious, which occupys about 6 meters, while the horizontal accumulator requires around 15 meters of floor space.
Additionally, the accumulator is more cost performance compared to the horizontal accumulator.
| Feature | Accumulator | Horizontal Accumulator |
|---|---|---|
| Applicable Mill Size | MG-16 to MG-60 | MG-60 and above |
| Strip Storage Capacity | Approximately 150–300 m | Filling speed approximately 120–200 m |
| Required Floor Space | About 6 meters, compact design | About 15 meters, requires larger space |
| Cost | Lower, cost-efficient | Higher investment |
| Structure | Horizontal multi-layer storage via lifting arms | Large spiral storage formed by strip looping |
