In the world of petrochemical, refinery, and power plant operations, maintenance downtime is not just costly—it’s a risk to safety and efficiency. One of the most critical tools used in heat exchanger servicing is the bundle extractor, also known as a tube bundle puller. These machines have revolutionized the way companies handle tube bundle removal and insertion, ensuring faster operations, enhanced safety, and reduced labor intensity.
At Qingwei Equipment, we specialize in the design and manufacturing of high-performance bundle extractors for the global market. Whether you operate in the Middle East, South America, Southeast Asia, or Central Asia, our machines are built to withstand harsh conditions and deliver reliable performance in every extraction cycle.
What is a Bundle Extractor?
A bundle extractor is a mechanical device used to pull tube bundles out of heat exchanger shells for maintenance, cleaning, or replacement. Traditional methods often relied on cranes or manual labor, which posed safety risks and were inefficient.
Our bundle extractors are engineered to be self-propelled, remote-controlled, and capable of handling loads ranging from 15 tons to 45 tons. With stroke lengths of up to 6 meters and compatibility with bundle diameters from 300 mm to 1500 mm, they are perfect for handling a wide range of exchanger sizes.
