What number and size of spools can be accommodated?
Spoolers can be designed to accommodate any number and size of spools, but for the small, cost-effective systems we are talking about, one or two spools will do nicely. Single pay-out/ dual take-up systems are very productive because while one full spool is being unloaded, an empty spool can be reloaded on the alternate spindle. The weight of the spool is very important because it dictates the size of the spindle and drive horsepower required. It is not unusual for a customer to have spools that fall in several different size ranges. In this case a dual spindle spooler with two different sized spindles might be recommended.
