Metzner Professional Version Completely automatic manufacturing system for the machining of up to twelve different hose diameters. The Metzner Professional Version provides the right solution if large quantities of PA hoses with different diameters are needed every day. The word “Professional” represents the program-controlled, automatic change between different hoses with simultaneous very high output quantities. As well as the integration of diverse lettering and marking processes, Professional systems are also equipped for automatic storing or coiling and for all available Metzner solutions...

Dereeling and Feeding Even material feed to the cutting machine is the basic requirement in order to achieve high length accuracy at high processing speed. The Professional Decoiler consists of a completely enclosed decoiling platform with electric brake, a feeder unit and an integrated loop controller with a particularly large reserve for high processing speeds. Automatic threading of the hoses from the decoiling platform through the complete hose machining system, eases the task of inserting new hose reels and enables significant time savings to be achieved. The Economy Solo and Duo decoilers...

Storing and coiling After the machining, the PA hoses must be stored, coiled or bundled. Metzner provides two methods for this process. The coiling machine Metzner CRC 750 coils the cut hoses quickly and effectively. The coiling speed operates synchronously with and completely drag-free to the processing speed of the machine using an interface to the cutting machine. The PA hoses are inserted in the coiler using a guide tube; the retractable guide pins ensure easy removal after the coiling process. Coiling is not recommended below a hose length of 2.5 metres. PA hoses are often stored in bundles....

Labelling and Marking PA hoses must often be lettered or marked for identification and determination of installation positions. Due to the different requirements, Metzner currently provides four different methods for lettering and marking. Inkjet printers can apply freely programmable text, logos and markings during passage through the machine with no lost time. Inkjet printing is a relatively low-cost process but the print quality is not as high as with laser printing. Laser printers also apply freely programmable text, logos and markings to the hose without loss of time. The print quality is...
