POWERAM Model 7000
Hydraulic Rod Pusher/Puller Machines |
|
The
POWERAM model 7000 is designed for replacing existing utilities by pulling
pipe splitting and/or bursting tools through an old pipe and pulling a new
pipe into the same space. The new pipe can be the same size or larger than
the old pipe.The pull rods have threaded joints, and can be added and
removed within the length of the machine. The Model 7000 uses the same type
of jaw system as our standard machines; they open and close automatically as
the machine is cycled, and they grip tighter as the resistance increases.
The 32 inch stroke cylinders pull the 5 ft. long rods in two "bites", and
allow room to bring the splitter and the expander into the machine to finish
the pull. |

Specifications - POWERAM
Model 7000 Hydraulic Rod Pusher/Puller
Machines |
 | 32" wide
x 25" high x 132" long. |
| Machine weight approximately
3,000 lbs. |
| 32" stroke hydraulic
cylinders. |
| 16" clear space between
cylinders for pulling tool. |
| Synchronized rod jaws. |
| Control valve station with
pressure gauge. |
| 118,000 lbs. Pulling capacity
at 3000 psi. |
| Four (4)
hydraulic leveling jacks - one at each corner of the machine.
|
The hydraulic leveling jacks put a sturdy adjustable
foot at each corner of the machine. The jacks are operated by hydraulic
valves at the main control station, so one person can easily and quickly
set the machine on the proper grade
OPTIONS:
Side brace
screw jacks (set of four) - The side brace
screw jacks are designed to be attached at any point along the length of
the machine by simply hanging them on. They are used to stabilize the
machine in the trench or shoring box so that it can not swing from side to
side.
Power
rod wrench with rod clamp.
The power rod wrench and rod clamp speeds up the joining and
removal of the pull rods and greatly reduces operator fatigue. This
system is operated by hydraulic valves at the main control station.
Pipe restraint kits
for 4", 6", 8", & 12" pipe
The pipe restraint kits secure the machine to the pipe that is
to be replaced. They are designed to move out of the way of the splitting
or bursting tool so that even the last inch of pipe is cut as the tool is
pulled into the machine.

Accessories - POWERAM
Model 7000 Hydraulic Rod Pusher/Puller
Machines |
| Pull Rods, Hollow, 2 ¼" diameter x 5 feet
long. |
| Rod Guide Kit |
| "Ball nose" Push Head. |
| Thread Adapter Coupling. |
| Rod Storage Box (30 rod capacity). |
| 40 HP Diesel Power Unit |
The 2-1/4" diameter Pull Rods are standard for the Model 7000
puller. They have tapered threads for quick sure connections. The
5-foot long hollow rods weigh 42 pounds each. Smaller diameter rods
can be used as long as matching jaws are also installed.
The Rod Guide Kit holds the rods in line with the jaws - and
centered in the existing pipe - to reduce wear.
The Ball Nosed Push Head leads the rods through the existing pipe
without hanging up.
The Thread Adaptor Coupling is required for some splitting tools.
Rod Storage Boxes protect the threads from dirt and damage and make
it easy to transport the rods right to the machine for efficient
operation.
The Hydraulic Power Unit has a 40 HP Yanmar Diesel engine sold and
serviced by John Deere. Engine features include tachometer, hour
meter, and automatic low oil shutdown. A variable volume pump provides
maximum flow to 3,000 psi. This unit has an extra large hydraulic oil
reservoir (43 gallons), with fill screen, level and temperature gauge,
magnetic suction screen, and high performance return line filter. A
hydraulic oil cooler protects against heat build-up.
PIPE SPLITTING
To complement our hydraulic rod pullers, Poweram offers the McElroy
"Bullet" line of pipe splitting tools. They are available in sizes for
splitting 1 ½" through 6" standard pipe (IPS), and for 1 ½" through 3"
JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard) pipe. They will split steel, cast
iron, ductile iron, and vitrified clay pipe. Most compression
couplings, repair sleeves, service tees, and screw couplings are
routinely split as the "Bullet" is pulled through the old pipe.
As the pipe is split, it is splayed open to provide room for the
new pipe, which is pulled in right behind the "Bullet". The new pipe
can be the same size as the one being replaced, or it can be a size
larger. Operating and maintenance manuals are included with each
"Bullet" kit, and an instructional video is available to help train
your crew.
The "Bullet" is covered by its own patents, so no operating license
is required, and no royalties need to be paid. An unlimited operating
license is conferred to the owner upon purchase of the "Bullet"
system.
