What Are the Specifications for a 5-Ton Decoiler

Ever felt that gut punch when your decoiler chokes on a mid-sized coil, halting your stamping run and piling up overtime? I've been there—more than a few times over 15 years tweaking metal lines in fabs from the Midwest to Shenzhen. In 2025, with steel processing demands up 10% from EV and construction surges, a solid 5-ton decoiler (or uncoiler) is your line's quiet hero: Gripping 5-ton loads with hydraulic precision to feed sheets smoothly at 15-30m/min, no buckles or waste. But specs matter—mismatch 'em, and you're courting downtime.

Pulling from my audits and fresh 2025 vendor data, this guide unpacks the must-know specs for a 5-ton hydraulic decoiler—from mandrel diameters to power draws. We'll spotlight how Fanty, the customizable champ I've installed for dozens of shops, nails these for stamping and roll-forming bliss. If you're sizing up gear for 1,000mm-wide coils, let's spec it out—no fluff, just facts to keep your line roaring.

Core Specifications: What Defines a 5-Ton Decoiler?

A 5-ton decoiler is mid-range gold for small-to-medium fabs—handling carbon steel or stainless up to 3mm thick without the bulk of 10-ton beasts. Key to its spec sheet? Hydraulic expansion for secure grips and variable speeds for tension control, ensuring flat feeds under 0.5mm waviness. From my fieldwork, these units shine in setups with 500-1,000 ton presses, where quick coil swaps (under 5 mins) keep cycles humming.

Load and Coil Dimensions

• Max Load Capacity: 5 tons (5,000kg)—ideal for coils up to 1,200-1,500kg per meter, preventing overload slips.
• Coil Width: 500-1,250mm max—fits most stamping widths without edge damage.
• Inner Diameter (ID): 450-610mm adjustable mandrel—hydraulic expansion ensures 360° contact for zero slippage.
• Outer Diameter (OD): Up to 1,500-1,600mm—accommodates bulky rolls without frame strain.

Power and Performance

• Motor Power: 4KW main drive—delivers 0-15m/min uncoiling, scalable to 30m/min with VFD for speed tweaks.
• Hydraulic Power: 2.2-3KW station—expands mandrels in seconds for fast setups.
• Material Thickness: 0.1-3.0mm—versatile for thin sheets to mid-gauge steels.
• Voltage/Frequency: 380V/50Hz 3-phase standard—customizable for U.S./EU grids.

Build and Safety Features

• Frame/Spindle: 300mm H-beam frame, 18-20mm thick; 194x45mm spindle for stability.
• Safety: Overload protection, emergency stops, and coil pressing arms—OSHA/CE compliant.
