Spiral Cutting Machine for Plastic Pipes with Pneumatic Cut-Off and Meter Counter WM-571

Name: Spiral Cutting Machine for Plastic Pipes with Pneumatic Cut-Off and Meter Counter WM-571
Brand: Wiromac
SKU: WM-571

CE Certified HS Code 8461.50 0.5–20 m/min traction

The WM-571 turns flexible plastic pipe into continuous spiral-cut product — the helical wrapping band used to bundle cable looms and protect hose. Twin 60 mm traction belts on double 0.55 kW direct-coupled motors pull the pipe through at 0.5 to 20 m/min while a 0.75 kW rotary head carries the blade around it in a continuous helix; both drives run on variable-frequency control, so the spiral pitch follows from the speed ratio. A pneumatic cutter with an automatic meter counter parts off finished coils at set meterage. Power is 3-phase 380 V, 50 Hz.

Key features

Makes spiral wrapping band in-house — extruded pipe goes in, finished helical wrap comes out in one pass instead of being bought as a converted product
Traction and rotary head each run on their own variable-frequency drive, so spiral pitch is set by the speed ratio and changes without touching the blade
Twin 60 mm belts on double direct-coupled motors pull soft pipe straight and steady at up to 20 m/min without flattening the bore
Pneumatic cut-off with automatic meter counter parts coils off at programmed meterage — packaged lengths come off the line already counted

What it processes

Producing spiral cable-wrapping band from PE, PP and nylon flexible pipe for loom bundling
Spiral-cut protective sleeve manufacture for hoses and cable bundles in fixed coil lengths
Converting extruded tube stock into retail-length spiral wrap coils with counted meterage

Suited for: converting flexible plastic pipe — PE, PP, nylon — into continuous spiral wrapping band and spiral-cut protective sleeve, parted off in counted coil lengths. Not suited for: ring or cut-to-length piece cutting, which belongs to the blade cutters in the tube and pipe cutting category, nor metal pipe or rigid conduit — for those, cut-to-length is the WM-183 metal tube cutting machine’s job: Φ1–30 mm copper, aluminum, stainless and armored pipe.

Wall thickness and material hardness decide the cut quality, so we prove it on your stock first: send 2–3 meters of your actual pipe and we spiral-cut it on this machine on video before you commit.

WM-571 — common questions

What exactly does spiral cutting produce?

The blade travels around the moving pipe in a continuous helix, so the pipe becomes an open spiral band — the familiar spiral wrap that winds around a cable bundle yet lets single wires branch out anywhere along the run. Coils are then parted off at the meterage set on the counter.

How do I change the spiral pitch?

Pitch is the ratio between traction speed and cutter-head rotation. Both are on variable-frequency controls — raise the traction speed for a longer pitch, slow it for a tighter one, from 0.5 to 20 m/min. It is a dial adjustment made while the line runs, not a tooling change.

What is the WM-571 not designed to do?

Cutting tube into separate rings or measured straight pieces — that is cut-to-length work for the blade cutters in the tube and pipe cutting category. It is built for soft plastic pipe only, so metal pipe and rigid conduit are outside its range.
