The Pope Reeler is designed based on the principle of friction winding. Its key features include:

• The primary grab arm is pneumatically or hydraulically loaded and can be tilted hydraulically or mechanically through manual operation.
• The secondary arm is also loaded pneumatically or hydraulically.
• The Pope drum is fabricated from mild steel (MS) and designed to withstand the required nip pressure. It is equipped with a doctoring arrangement for effective operation.
• The framing is constructed from heavy-duty cast iron, ensuring durability and stability.
