Bundle Pulling

Bundle Pulling

The Truck mounted bundle puller (TMBP) can be quickly mobilized to the site and is a fully selfcontained bundle extractor to pull back horizontal tube bundles which are located at the height between 680 and 6700 mm and with a maximum weight of 15T - 20T. Due to its unique and patented design, this machine can also be used to transport the bundles to the cleaning slab. Therefore, it is appreciated in all the refineries and in the petrochemicals sector. The main advantage is that during the pulling/ pushing operation you do not need a crane anymore which will reduce your cost and bring your downtime back to a minimum! Less organization is needed! The truck is allowed to drive on the public road, therefore making it a versatile and efficient tool. Even in the difficult place to reach with the crane, e.g.; when there is a pipe frame above the heated exchanger, the Truck Mounted Bundle Puller can still do the job. Once the extractor is in position and the butt plates are positioned against the shell flange, the extractor can exert a force of 50,000 kgf, enough to extract even the most obstinate bundle. After the initial break out, the hydraulic pulling car will be hooked to the pipe plate and the extractor can pull out the bundle in one continuous stroke. Once the bundle is resting on the truck, it can be transported to the cleaning slab and can be offloaded by crane.

In case the Truck Mounted Bundle Puller cannot be used, OZEST can provide an Aerial Mounted Bundle Puller. The hydraulic tube bundle extractor is a self-contained unit, which is easily lifted into position by one crane. Once in position, and clamped to the shell flange of an exchanger, the extractor can exert a persuasive force of 50,000 kgf, enough to break out even the most obstinate
tube bundle.

OZEST Aerial Mounted Bundle Puller is 8.0 M long and weighs 7 tons. It is suitable to use for tube bundles with a maximum diameter of 2.5 M; length of 8.0 M & weight of up to 45 tons. (For tube bundles with larger dimensions, additional equipment/accessories are to be added).
