Colt Coil Reels (Uncoilers)

Light‑, Medium‑, and Heavy‑Duty Coil Reels for Precision Press Feeding

Colt Coil Reels are engineered for strength, durability, and smooth material payout across a wide range of coil weights and widths. Available in light‑, medium‑, and heavy‑duty configurations, these uncoilers support everything from small 1,000 lb coils to massive 60,000 lb loads.

With options for drag brakes, air brakes, or powered variable‑speed drives, Colt reels integrate seamlessly into modern press feed lines and deliver consistent, controlled coil payout with minimal operator intervention.

Automatic loop control and controlled acceleration/deceleration help maintain steady material flow, reduce shock loads, and extend equipment life.
