Motorized Puller Assemblies Provide Out-of-the-Box Productivity



Versa Machinery Motorized Puller assemblies include all components for out-of-the-box productivity for a variety of downstream handling requirements. Available in Pinch Wheel or Caterpillar designs, pullers are mounted on a 12" x 14" base plate for easy positioning of feed materials and include a choice of either A.C. or D.C. motor and drive, and a remote Operator Control Station (OCS) that can be mounted wherever desired. A variety of speed ranges are available, with pinch roll or belt materials to suit a range of product requirements. Versa Motorized Puller Assemblies are suitable for applications that include downstream handling of pipe, profiles and tubing, wire/cable, steel materials and more.

The OCS includes pushbuttons for Start, Stop and Emergency Stop, as well as a 10-turn potentiometer with turns counter for speed control. Digital speed indicator and 115V input are standard, with other voltages available as options.

Standard motorized puller assemblies are equipped with a hand wheel to adjust the belt gap, which opens and closes around a constant centerline. Optional pneumatic operation of the belt booms along a constant centerline allows control of the pressure applied to the product being pulled and makes repeatable set-up almost instantaneous.

"P" series Pinch Wheel feeds are commonly used where materials are not sensitive to pinching pressure and in operations where minimal pulling force is necessary. They are available with roller widths from 2" (50 mm) to 5.5" (127 mm) with roll materials offering different traction and wear characteristics. Versa pinch roll pullers are suitable for the manufacturing of band saw blades, weed whacker line, 3D printer filament, moving and punching rigid profiles, and for capturing materials trimmed from the edges of various profile and film extrusions.

"C" Series caterpillar feeds provide uniform pressure over the entire traction length, which enables greater pulling force without product deformation. Belt configurations range from 2" (50 mm) width x 9" (230 mm) length to 4" (100 mm) width x 18" (460 mm) length. Versa caterpillar pullers are suitable for pulling materials through braiding machines, feeding disc brake materials into grinders, pulling wire and cable, pulling extruded vinyl siding and more.

A variety of belt and pinch wheel materials are available, including sponge, gum rubber, silicone, neoprene, urethane or nitrile, some of which are FDA approved. Various durometer ratings are available to suit application requirements.

Additional options include left-to-right configuration and OSHA guarding package.
