The difference between aluminum plate and aluminum strip is easy to understood, one is plate and the other is coil.

The surface of cold-rolled aluminum sheet is not as good as that of hot-rolled aluminum sheet. Hot-rolled aluminum sheet is suitable for oxidation.

What is aluminum coil strip?

Aluminum coil (aluminum strip) is in the shape of a roll. Cast-rolled aluminum coils and hot-rolled aluminum coils made of pure aluminum or aluminum alloy are rolled into thin-plate aluminum coils of different thicknesses and widths by cold rolling mills. After the tension bending straightening process, the strip is longitudinally shear into aluminum coils of different widths by the slitting machine.

What is aluminum sheet plate?

Aluminum sheet (Aluminum sheet plate), is a rectangular plate. The cast cast-rolled aluminum coil is cut into cast-rolled aluminum sheets (cc), or cast aluminum slabs are rolled into rectangular sheets (DC), which are divided into non-heat-treatable aluminum sheets, heat-treatable aluminum alloy sheets, thin aluminum plate, medium-thick aluminum plate, patterned aluminum plate, etc.

Different packaging methods of aluminum sheet and aluminum coil

Aluminum coils and sheets are widely used in various industries. The packaging and transportation of aluminum coil and sheet are very important.

Usually, the fumigated well-tac-toe wooden pallet is adopted, or the wooden box is packed. The exterior is fixed with steel strips, the exterior of the aluminum coil is covered with double layers of moisture-proof rain cloth, and the interior is protected from moisture-proof agents. It is packaged in a sealed package, which is suitable for long-distance transportation and sea transportation.

Packaging method of aluminum coil

Eye to sky packing of aluminium coil: the inner diameter of the aluminum coil is facing the sky, and it is placed on the fumigated wooden pallet, which saves space and saves freight costs. Aluminum processing factories are required to have an aluminum coil vertical turning machine. The width of the aluminum coil is less than 1100mm and is suitable for eye to sky packing of aluminium coil.

Eye to wall packing of aluminium coil: the aluminum coils are placed horizontally and placed on the fumigated wooden pallet, which takes up more space for transportation and is safer for shipment. It is recommended to do eye to wall packing of aluminium coil for aluminum coils with a width exceeding 1250mm.

Weight: 1-2 tons/pallet

Packaging method of aluminum plate
