TERRA-EXTRACTOR X 1000

Barras para Cracking de 100 toneladas

Powerful and durable

    The TERRA-EXTRACTOR X 1000 is one of the most powerful Rod Bursters for the replacement of old pipes ø 100-600 mm (4” – 24”) from cast iron, steel, clay ware or PE/PVC. With a maximum pulling force of 100 tonnes at 250 bar, new HDPE pipes up to ø 600 mm can be replaced. Smaller pipes can be replaced over lengths up to 200 m. The operation speed is 96 m/h. Powered by a 142 HP strong JOHN DEERE engine, it fulfills the newest environmental emission norms Tier 4 interim (Euro 3B).


Fully automatic rod burster

    The rod burster is equipped with a PLC control. The pipe pulling works fully automatic by a push of a button. Several sensors as well as an operational friendly control panel make it easy for the operator to work with the machine. The X 1000 has a rod screw assistant and handy rods.

Rod screw assistant

    During the pushing and pulling procedure the rods are fully automatic screwed together. A special developed lever system with pressure rolls helps to screw the rods together. This makes operating even more easily.

Counter clamp

    The counter clamp consists of a mechanical click system. It holds the rods when the clamps are open and prevents that the rods can fall backwards during the pulling procedure.
