Dromec spooling systems

Electric spooling systems for demanding cable operations

DROMEC designs and builds electric spooling machines for controlled handling of wire rope, fibre rope and cables in marine, offshore and infrastructure applications. We work with your team to define reel requirements, pulling force, line speed and controls, then develop a practical system around the way you need to operate.

Control starts with the right specification

A heavy reel is only one part of the challenge. The system must also handle the required tension, changing reel diameter, cable characteristics and operating speed. Tell us what you need to spool and how the equipment will be used. We will help turn those requirements into a clear technical starting point.

Electric drive with application specific control

An electric drive can be combined with controlled speed, tension regulation and operator information. The right configuration depends on your cable, operating cycle and available power supply. Monitoring, data logging and control interfaces can be discussed as part of the specification. We define what is included in your system before manufacture.

Proven with heavy reels

For Euro Rope, DROMEC built fully electric machines for reels weighing up to 60 tonnes, with 15 tonnes of pulling force. These are separate ratings for that project: reel weight is not pulling force. Explore the Euro Rope project.

Designed around your working environment

Reel dimensions, access, transport and the operator’s view all influence the layout. We discuss the complete working arrangement, including the reel interface, available space and the way your team changes reels. A clear view of the operation helps us develop equipment that fits the worksite.

From first discussion to commissioning

Bring us an outline, a drawing or a challenge that still needs defining. Our engineers work through the requirements with you. Testing, documentation, delivery and on-site commissioning are agreed around the project, so you know what to expect at each stage.

What should you send us

Start with the material to be handled, maximum loaded reel weight, reel dimensions, required tension, line speed and available electrical supply. Add the installation location and intended project timing. If some details are still open, tell us what you know and we will work from there.

FAQ

What determines the required pull-in force?

Cable characteristics, route geometry, friction, bend limits and the installation method all affect the forces. The project team must define the operating limits and assess the route before the equipment is selected.

Can DROMEC support commissioning at our location?

DROMEC provides on-site commissioning support internationally. For your project, we agree the location, schedule, responsibilities and service scope in advance.

Can we start before our specification is complete?

Yes. Share the outline of the operation, the main constraints and the information you already have. We will discuss what is needed to develop a useful technical proposal.
