The hydraulic Tube-Bundle-Extr

Simple, like opening a bottle!
Did you ever think what life would be like without bottle-openers? Pretty grim, huh? Well, that was how it was with some renery maintenance chores. Changing the tube-bundles of heat-exchangers, for instance, could be a pretty grim business. Not unlike trying to pull the cork out of a bottle with your teeth. Happily, civilisation comes up with answers for these things. It gave us the bottle-opener. After that, it was only a matter of time before someone came up with an equally sensible solutionto the problem of how to separate a 30-ton bundle of tubes from the ever-loving grip of an exchanger shell. That solution is a smart bit of engineering called the Hydraulic Tube-Bundle-Extractor. The Hydraulic Tube-Bundle-Extractor is a high quality machine which has been designed specially to deal with both tube and plate heat-exchanger units. It draws out a bundle just as smoothly and surely as you or I uncork a bottle. The parallels between the Hydraulic Tube-Bundle-Extractor and the homely bottle-opener dont end there. Both are simple, reliable pieces of equipment. Treat them right, and they wont let you down. Both are swiftly brought into position. Both accomplish the job with the absolute minimum of blood, sweat and tears and the maximum security against expensive breakages. The big difference is that a bottle-opener only takes corks out. The Hydraulic Tube-BundleExtractor can also be used to insert bundles making a double saving in jour maintenance schedule. Peinemann from Holland can sell or rent you the Hydraulic Tube-Bundle-Extractor, and teach your own people how to use it. You dont need an engineering degree to understand how this new renery tool works or to gure out how quickly it can pay back your initial investment. Youll nd the details on the following pages. Read them carefully. When youve nished, you might want to open a bottle. Just to celebrate.

The Hydraulic Tube-Bundle-Extractor is a self-contained unit, which is easily lifted into position by just one crane. Powers no problem, either, since a simple diesel motor is what makes the Extractor ex its muscles. Yet, once in position, and clamped to the shell-ange of and exchanger, the Extractor can exert a persuasive force of 50.000 kgf enough to break out even the most obstinate tube-bundle into the open. Two trained men are all you need (and Peinemann will take car of the schooling, remember). Using the Extractor, theyll be able to free most bundles in as little as 15 minutes. If youve ever had to tangle with a heat exchanger personally, youll appreciate just how impressive that is.

The standard extractor is 8.00 m in length, and weighs 7 tons. It is suitable for use on all plate and tube heat exchangers up to 2.00 m diameter. In case you might need a bigger of a smaller extractor, Peinemann can also make custom made extractors to suit your needs. Once the Extractor is suspended in position, and has been carefully balanced, it is clamped to the exchanger shell. The hydraulic pulling car is then moved to the forward position. The hydraulic car is secured to the tube-sheet, by means of 2 slings tted to the pulling anchors on the side of the pulling car. Now youre ready to exercise a little pull. The massive hydraulic power of the car pushing against the shell-ange, builds up gently but irresistibly until the bundle breaks free. The pull hook mechanism on the pulling car completes the job of drawing the bundle out in one continuous stroke.

Once a bundle is resting completely on the Extractor, the load is trimmed using the special hydraulic balancing cylinder. Both the bundle and the Extractor can be simply lifted clear. Its not hard to see that the Extractor is a tool which is equally good at two jobs. After you have used the Extractor to pull one bundle, you can also use it to push in a new bundle again, in minimum time. With the Extractor, you make valuable savings all around: *less confusion *Less time *Less manpower *less risk of accidents involving your people, or costly damage to equipment. When youve checked out the Extractor yourself, we think youll agree with Peinemann from Holland

It isnt just a good idea. Its an absolute corker!
