Easykoil Plus: patented take-apart reel for coil lifting

EasykoilTM Plus is GMP Slovakia's best-selling take-apart reel.
It really is an innovative product and if you work in the wire and cable industry you must have heard about it. 

In today's article we will put this special reel under the microscope to reveal its secrets to those who are new to the industry, or simply have never had a chance to try it.

EKP is the patented reel manufactured by GMP Slovakia that can also be used as a coil lifter, making the use of dedicated equipment unnecessary. This revolutionary product has an internal mechanism that allows the barrel to expand, thus lifting the coil. The opening and lifting operations can be performed by simply switching the lifting rings between LIFT and FREE position. This makes the opening operation much faster compared to a classic central screw reel: after releasing the safety lock, all the operator has to do is to switch the lifting rings to the FREE position to open the reel and release the coil. By switching the rings to the LIFT position, instead, the barrel expands and the coil is lifted up.

EKP can be supplied in DIN or custom sizes. All available take-apart reels - including the EKP - are machined on the parts in contact with the wire, and can be supplied with 4, 6, or 8 slots for the insertion of metal straps. Other options include dynamic balancing, circular slots on the flanges to fit the cardboard barrel and changeable flanges to produce reels of different widths.
