Handle Pipe up to 40 Inches in Diameter with Multi-Beam Pullers from Conair
Sept. 25, 2009

When it comes to handling large diameter pipe, more beams are better. A new family of pipe pullers from The Conair Group has up to eight cleated, non-marking belt assemblies with plenty of contact length for maximum pulling power without distortion. The largest unit (Model CP36896) is designed for pipe as large as 40 inches (1015 mm) in diameter and has eight belts with 8 feet (2.44 m) of contact length.

The belt assemblies (beams) are positioned evenly around the pipe for maximum support and control. Each of the belt assemblies is powered by its own motor, which is mounted to a speed reducer directly on the belt assembly. All of these motors are coordinated to run at the same speed, reducing both pipe chatter and cleat wear.

There are a total of five models in the product line. The smallest (CP6360) is designed with three beams and is intended to handle pipe or tubing from 1-inch (25.4 mm) to 6.5 inches (165 mm) in diameter. Other units are sized for pipe up to 13.2 inches (335 mm) , 19.5 inches (495 mm) and 25.8 inches (1525 mm).

The upper beam assemblies are opened and closed pneumatically to speed set-up, while the lower assemblies are adjusted mechanically for better alignment with the extruded pipe. For safety purposes, the pneumatically controlled beams will open automatically if the emergency stop button is pushed or if there is a loss of power.

End-of-beam pivoting allows the puller to accommodate pipe deformities during start-up. This exclusive design feature maintains design integrity and eliminates the weakness seen in pullers that use single-point, center-pivoting beams. To facilitate start-up, an optional remote belt-speed control is available. Custom designs to match special production requirements are also available.
