PRI offers Accra‑Wire Controls (AWC) pallet decoilers designed to eliminate the wasted time, material damage, and safety risks associated with traditional upending and mandrel‑loading. These powered systems allow operators to run coils exactly as they arrive on the pallet—no flipping, no wrestling, no edge damage.
For stamping, roll forming, and wire‑forming operations, pallet decoilers are one of the fastest ways to reduce downtime and keep production moving.
AWC pallet decoilers are engineered to streamline coil handling and improve overall equipment efficiency. Key advantages include:
These systems are equally effective for heavier materials when paired with the appropriate options.
The pallet decoiler accepts the coil on the same skid it ships on and unrolls it horizontally into a feeder, straightener, or forming line. The material remains controlled, tension stays consistent, and the line stays fed without interruption.
It’s a simple, efficient, and highly repeatable process—ideal for high‑volume production environments.
The Accra‑Flex series is designed for fast adjustment, easy threading, and smooth payout of pancake or oscillated wound coils. These units integrate seamlessly into press lines, roll formers, and slide‑forming applications.
Performance varies by material; AWC may require samples for verification.

Press Room Equipment’s Norwalk Innovation Wire Un‑Coilers provide a controlled, reliable method for uncoiling wire stock while eliminating the tangles, twists, and loops that slow production. These powered systems are engineered for manufacturers who need consistent payout, stable tension, and safe, predictable wire handling.
Hundreds of facilities rely on these un‑coilers for their productivity, efficiency, and operator‑friendly design — all driven by patented features that keep wire feeding smooth and uninterrupted.
Uncontrolled wire payout leads to snarls, loops, and downtime. The Norwalk Innovation Wire Un‑Coiler solves this by using a variable‑speed platform that automatically adjusts based on guide‑drum travel. As downstream equipment pulls material, the platform responds instantly, maintaining tension and preventing overspin.
The result is a clean, consistent feed — even at higher speeds or with heavier coils.

These Wire Un‑Coilers are engineered for long‑term reliability, operator safety, and smooth, predictable performance — even in demanding production environments.
Press Room Equipment’s Norwalk Innovation Pallet Un‑Coilers provide a fast, efficient way to uncoil flat‑stock material directly from palletized coils. Designed for high‑volume operations, these systems dramatically reduce coil‑change downtime and maintain consistent tension for smooth feeding into your press or processing equipment.
Pallet Un‑Coilers are ideal for stampers looking to increase throughput, reduce material handling, and eliminate the delays associated with traditional single‑coil uncoilers.
Once the pallet is loaded, the operator simply guides the first coil around the self‑aligning guide drum and into the feed mechanism — a process that takes about five minutes. As the strip is pulled by downstream equipment, the patented Quick Torque™ drive system automatically synchronizes rotation speed with the machine’s demand.
The farther the guide drum is pulled outward, the faster the turntable rotates, ensuring smooth, responsive payout without overspin or coasting. Tension remains consistent whether the pallet is full or nearly empty.
When the top coil is consumed, the operator repeats the five‑minute threading process on the next coil — eliminating hoisting delays and dramatically reducing changeover time.
