Bundling

Barni packaging lines for carbon steel tubes and bars are designed to guarantee high operational reliability in the most demanding industrial environments, typical of the steel and steel processing industries.

Their main function is to automate and make safe the collecting, aligning, strapping and packaging of long products, ensuring bundle uniformity, protection of the material and optimisation of end-of-line times.

Barni lines stand out for their extremely robust structure, built with oversized steelwork and high-strength mechanical components, engineered to operate continuously with high unit weights, large diameters and considerable lengths. This design approach makes them particularly suitable for heavy-duty use, including in environments characterised by high mechanical stress, dust, vibration and intensive duty cycles.

Each line can be configured according to the customer’s production specifications and can integrate systems for:

• Product handling and accumulation
• Alignment and bundle forming
• Automatic strapping with different materials
• Bundle marking, weighing and identification.

The high level of automation and control makes it possible to improve operator safety, reduce plant downtime and guarantee consistent packaging quality, even where production varies.

Thanks to their durability, reliability and ease of maintenance, Barni packaging lines represent a solid, long-term industrial solution for manufacturers of carbon steel tubes and bars.

Examples of fields of application

The main fields of application are:

• Steelworks and rolling mills for bars and long sections
• Tube mills for the production of welded and seamless tubes
• Drawing and sizing plants for carbon steel bars and tubes
• Finishing and treatment lines (straightening, deburring, cutting to length)
• High-productivity end-of-line packaging departments
• Steel service centres for the storage and preparation of material for shipping
