Tube Pulling Tools and Devices Q&A

Q1. Why is tube pulling done?

Because the tubes of heat exchangers and steam condensers corrode and suffer damage due to long-term use, tubes need to be periodically replaced.
Sugino Machine has developed a rich lineup of tube pulling machines that are able to effectively pull out deteriorated tubes and help support the healthy operation of plants and factories.

　

Q2. How is tube pulling done?

The most primitive way of removing tubes from a tube sheet is to manually pull them out using an appropriate tool after crushing them with a hammer. If many tubes need to be pulled, this type of method will take a lot of time and manpower, as each tube needs to be pulled out individually.
The tube pulling machines developed by Sugino Machine solve this problem and help improve overall working environments.

　

Q3. What types of tube pulling machines are available?

Sugino Machine has a lineup of three types of tube pulling machines: the Smart Puller, Quick Puller, and Tube Puller.
Choosing the most appropriate model depends on the characteristics of the tube such as diameter and length.

　

Q4. What are the features of each tube pulling machine?

The Smart Puller
rapidly improves work productivity because its spear-like head does not need to be attached or removed.
The time required for tube pulling is only 1/10 that required by conventional methods.

The Quick Puller
can be used for continuous pulling of tubes, thus making it easy to pull out even long tubes.

The Tube Puller
has a maximum pull force of 30t, allowing this high-power machine to pull tubes with an outer diameter of over 50 mm.
