Steel Core Tube

Steel core tubes are used in aluminum foil, copper foil, plastic film and other winding processes where stable dimensions, good roundness and reliable surface condition are important. A well-made steel core helps support winding quality, reduce deformation risk and improve repeated use in production.
HLTUBE supplies precision steel core tubes and fabricated tube components according to customer drawings, including cutting, machining, chamfering and surface treatment options.

Typical Applications
·Aluminum foil winding and rewinding cores.
·Copper foil and battery foil winding support.
·Plastic film, packaging film and industrial film winding.
·Paper, textile or composite material winding where steel cores are required.
·Customized steel tube cores for production lines.
