Introduction
The Pregis Coiler produces large quantities of paper coil cushions when used in
conjunction with the Pregis Packmaster™ pro . Paper coil cushions provide light, strong
packaging options which mould to the shape of the items to be protected and are
manufactured using 100% recycled materials.
Paper coils can be made using 52/90gsm and 70gsm white or brown paper. The coils can
be produced at sizes ranging from 30cm to 70cm diameter. All of our paper is 100%
recycled, 100% recyclable and 100% biodegradable.
These coils can be produced quickly either for immediate use or to store for later use.
The Coiler is simple to use providing a hands-free repeat option which allows production
to continue. Advanced safety features ensure safe operation at all times.

General Safety
Operator safety and the safety of others in the work area are reliant upon the operator
using good judgment and reasonable care while operating the machine. This operating
manual and any warning labels affixed to the machine provide notification of specific
hazards.
The following instructions are only a guideline and should be considered a supplement to
your plant’s comprehensive safety program. Your business’ policy supersedes these
guidelines if at any time the two contradict each other. Please read and understand the
manual including all of the dangers, warnings, and cautionary statements.
If after reading the manual you have any questions, contact your supervisor or your Pregis
service technician to get answers before operating the machine.

switch) in their transit positions.
The retaining bolts for the Remote Start Switch are located inside the switch box.
Install the Control Console and the Remote Start Switch on the front of the Coiler frame
using the bolts previously removed. Position both in the optimum positions for the Coiler
operative.

Safety Curtain operation
The Coiler operator is protected by a Safety Curtain. If the light beam is broken all
power to the motor is cut immediately stopping the Coiler. The Packmaster™ pro will
stop producing and cut the pack. This will place the Coiler into ‘fault’ mode requiring the
‘Home’ button to be pressed before the Coiler will run another pack.
To retrieve a completed coil the operative breaks the Safety Curtain beam. Because the
coil has formed completely the Coiler will automatically reset once the coil has been
retrieved allowing the next coil to be processed.
When functioning correctly the Safety Curtain on the left hand side of the Coiler should
display three green lights and one blue light
When the beam is broken, or the curtain misaligned, (see the Safety Curtain Adjustment
section ) then a red indicator is displayed and the Coiler cannot operate.

Switch on both the Coiler and the Packmaster™ pro mains supply. The mains power
supply switch is illuminated. Wait 10 seconds then load paper into the Packmaster™ pro
in accordance with the Packmaster™ pro manual. A short ‘loading’ pack will be generated
automatically; remove this from the Coiler.

During the production of the coil the blue Coil Indicator will be illuminated.
Coil production can be stopped at any point during the winding process by pressing the
Stop button. This will immediately stop the pack being produced by the Packmaster™ pro
and will result in a smaller incomplete coil.
This may place the Coiler into a temporary ‘fault’ mode and the Coil Indicator will start to
flash denoting operator action is required to remove the coil. To exit the ‘fault’ mode remove
the coil and press the Home Button once. The Coil Indicator extinguishes and the machine is
ready to run again).
Press the Start Button . The Packmaster™ pro feeds the pack on to the Coiler load ramp
and the Coiler automatically produces a coil of the required length.
Operation
The red Power Indicator will be illuminated.

When the coil is complete and wound to the selected tail position, the Coil Indicator will
start to flash denoting operator action is required to remove the coil.
Operation
Once the coil is removed, the Coil Indicator will extinguish, and the Coiler is ready for the
next coil to be produced.
The Remote Start switch can be used instead of the Control Console Start Button and is
intended to enable hands-free repeat operation whilst holding the previous coil.
To prevent the end of the coil from unwinding wrap the tail around the layer
beneath to provide a ‘handle’, see below. This does not detract from the protective
performance of the coil.

Safety Curtain Adjustment
If the Safety Curtain displays a red light when the beam is not broken the curtain requires
adjustment.
To adjust the Safety Curtain:
1. Loosen the M3 socket head screw on top/bottom of the upper and lower safety
curtain brackets on either or both sides of the Coiler cage.
2. Adjust the Safety Curtain angle by rotating the loosened Safety Curtain until the left
hand Safety curtain displays three green lights and one blue light indicating that the
safety curtain is working properly.
3. Re-tighten the M3 screws and check that the three green lights and one blue light
are illuminated, with the red light coming on only when the beam is broken.
Red Light indicates curtain requires adjustment Loosen the socket screws
