Straight from the reel manufacturer – the custom solution for your wound goods.

Based in Arzberg, Upper Franconia, PURUS PLASTICS offers custom-made plastic reels for a wide range of requirements with the charm of a manufacturer. We work with you to design the right type of spool, creating a load carrier that is precisely tailored to your needs. This type of manufacturing is particularly advantageous and offers the ideal solution even for small and medium-sized batches – fair, sustainable, and transparent.

Our modern plastic reels make it easy to wind ropes, cables, chains, straps, and many other windable goods, store them safely, and unwind them just as easily when needed. Knots and untidily stored materials are now a thing of the past. Our reels make everyday life much easier, especially in industry, warehousing, and production, as they ensure order and efficiency wherever a wide variety of windable goods need to be stored.

The PURUS plastic reel was developed in collaboration with the August Hildebrandt Group—and is considered groundbreaking in many respects. The use of lightweight recycled plastic saves transport costs, makes handling particularly easy, and at the same time contributes to sustainability. We manufacture the FIDUS plastic reel in small and medium series, offering a customized solution with its handcrafted character.

Thanks to freely configurable dimensions, you can create custom-fit spools with the desired filling quantities. Whether flange size, core diameter, or winding width—you choose the parameters, and we implement them precisely. The result is a wide variety of design options and a sustainable plastic spool that exactly meets your requirements.

What options can you choose from with FIDUS reels?

FIDUS plastic reels come standard with drive holes, practical drainage slots, and holes for cable fixation. Optionally, the plastic reel can be expanded with holes for cable or winding material feed-through.

For the core tube, you can choose between one inlet hole, two inlet holes, one inlet hole plus one sensor hole, or two inlet holes and two sensor holes. In addition, we can equip your FIDUS coil with label fields, cable outlet holes, and stacking aids. Would you like your logo to be permanently attached?

No problem, we can inject it into the flange. As you can see, we have a lot of flexibility when it comes to meeting your requirements.

Your advantage? The creative freedom!

A plastic spool essentially consists of two different parts: the flange and the core. We offer flanges in three different sizes:
400 mm, 435 mm, and 500 mm in diameter.
You can also specify whether your spool should have a shaft hole with a diameter of 56 or 80 mm.
For the core diameter, you can choose between 125 mm and 150 mm; this, together with the winding width and the flange diameter, determines the winding volume.
We can manufacture the winding width for you in a continuous range from 200 to 500 mm.
The maximum load weight is 80 kg for all sizes.
Please inquire about other custom dimensions via our sample bobbin service or the contact form.

What advantages do coils offer in everyday industrial use?

Modern plastic reels help you safely store all rollable items in the warehouse and other areas of your facility.
With our high-quality models, you’ll enjoy benefits such as:

  • long shelf life
  • a wide range of choices
  • easy handling

and other benefits that can help you take your storage solutions in these areas to the next level.
Another particularly practical feature in this context is that plastic spools are very lightweight. This means that the relevant models—when empty—can usually be transported from A to B with ease.

How do plastic reels differ from one another?

Depending on the length of the material you want to store on the spools, it’s a good idea to choose different core diameters. As a general rule of thumb, of course, the longer the material, the larger the diameter should be. If you’re unsure which model best suits your needs, it’s generally safer to opt for the slightly larger version. This also applies to the width of the plastic spool. A spool width that suits your needs ensures that you can benefit from even greater flexibility.
However, it would be a mistake to assume that a large spool is always the best solution. So take a moment to consider your specific needs.

Who needs plastic reels?

Anyone who works with equipment such as cables, cords, and similar items and has always wondered how to store them safely and neatly will find plastic reels to be the perfect solution.
“Cable tangles” and the like are no longer an issue when using these products in industrial settings. Whether you hang the spools and wind or unwind the cable, or simply place them on the floor, depends on your personal preference.
One thing is certain: using items in this category can help you keep things organized, make it easier to find individual tools, and streamline your workflows.
Of course, you can use the spools not only to store chains, belts, and the like, but also to transport them. Once rolled up, they help prevent tangling.

Plastic reels: frequently asked questions

  • Weather-resistant
  • Washable
  • Shatterproof & durable
  • Resource-efficient through the use of recycled materials
  • Easy to handle due to its lighter weight
  • Reusable & recyclable

The spools are made from recycled plastic (PP-PE)—a resource-efficient and environmentally friendly solution.

The plastic spools are available in standard sizes of 400, 435, and 500 mm. For specific requirements, PURUS also offers custom solutions upon request.

Yes, the winding width of the plastic spools is adjustable and can be ordered in any length between 200 and 500 mm.

Plastic spools (empty spools) are weather-resistant and can therefore be stored outdoors on pallets without any problems. A suitable location should be level, dry, and as shaded as possible.

Protection from UV radiation: UV radiation can cause plastic to become brittle and lose its strength. It is therefore important to protect cable reels from direct sunlight, for example by covering them or storing them under a roof.

The plastic spools are made entirely from recycled plastic and can be recycled again after use—a closed-loop material cycle that is fully in line with the principles of the circular economy.

Production takes place at the PURUS PLASTICS headquarters in Germany.

What are the advantages of the FIDUS plastic coil?

Winding goods require reels so that they can be transported safely. In addition to wires and cables, our FIDUS plastic reels are also used for ropes, chains, straps, and other items. Gone are the days of splintering and heavy wooden reels. The reel developed by PURUS is groundbreaking in many ways. With no mechanical connection and a smooth winding space, our reel can accommodate your wound goods. The lightweight recycled plastic saves significantly on transport costs and guarantees easy handling. The virtually freely configurable dimensions ensure tailor-made user solutions and the required winding volume. Numerous options cover all requirements and leave nothing to be desired in daily use. You choose the flange size, the core diameter, or even the winding width. As part of our manufacturing process, we are also open to small and medium quantities, because individual requirements call for individual solutions and cannot be met cost-effectively and sensibly with mass-produced goods. What remains is a wide range of design options and a sustainable plastic reel that meets your exact requirements. We are your reel manufacturer!

Plastic Reels Made from Recycled Materials

Environmental protection and sustainability play an important role in many companies. Our plastic spools are made from recycled materials and can help reduce a company’s environmental footprint.
The surface is easy to clean of most contaminants and is also low-maintenance. In addition, plastic spools often prove to be far more durable than expected. That makes sense! After all, no one wants to have to worry about the durability of their spools in the (often hectic) day-to-day business.
If you are looking for a plastic reel made from recycled materials that is also durable enough to last a long time, we would love to hear from you!

The “Made in Germany” result of professional cooperation

The FIDUS plastic reel combines a one-piece, reusable design with many well-thought-out details and options. In collaboration with the August Hildebrandt Group, the requirements and experience gathered on the market were combined with the plastics expertise of PURUS PLASTICS. The result is a uniquely customizable and completely sustainable transport spool for cables, chains, wires, and all other windable goods. We have already impressed numerous customers with special solutions and convinced them of the benefits of the FIDUS spool in everyday use.
