PERFORMANCE FEATURES
The Cable Scrapper is a high-production, hydraulically driven machine that removes communication and power cable from underground ducts while simultaneously cutting it into manageable scrap lengths. Its value is that the operation is performed in a minimal space, safely, with minimal handling of the cable. All conventional utility cables, including armored cable, can be accommodated by the scrapper.
The Cable Scrapper continuously pulls the cable from the duct and manhole, conveying it internally through a boom to a discharge point, where it is shear-cut and automatically distributed into a dump truck for transport. The machine's operation is simple and requires labor only for the initial attachment or lifting of the cable into the power capstan. Once the cable is placed into the machine’s pulling wheel, the operation is fully automatic. The unit, positioned at the manhole, occupies minimal street area, thus minimizing traffic disruption. Safety is a prime feature, as the operation is completely contained within the immediate worksite.
The hydraulic capstan of the Cable Scrapper provides a pulling force of over 11,000 kg (25,000 lbs.), which is sufficient to remove most cables, even if severely impacted within the duct. It pulls at high production speeds once in automatic operation and cuts the cable continuously into convenient 1.2 m (4') lengths for economical recycling.
Selective positioning allows precise targeting of any problem or routine setup. This fully hydraulic assembly provides easy power positioning of the cable entry and discharge, with infinite flexibility for unusual or difficult work requirements.
