A winding cage, for winding a helically wound pipe from an elongate ribbed strip having at least one rib and having opposed joinable edge portions, is disclosed. The winding cage includes: a plurality of spaced apart strip guide rollers, the strip guide rollers spaced around a longitudinal winding cage axis; a proximal support frame; a distal support frame having, the proximal and distal support frames spaced apart from each other and together supporting the plurality of spaced apart strip guide rollers; a proximal frame bridge, the bridge extending away from the proximal frame and bridging between spaced apart first and second ends of the proximal support frame; and a proximal mount on the bridge and a distal mount on the distal support frame, the proximal and distal mounts for receiving a strip driver assembly, the strip driver assembly for driving the strip into the winding cage. The bridge forms part of a mouth opening into the winding cage. The mouth is for accommodating the strip driver assembly. |
