Cable Burster X 300 C renews Sewer House Connection
In Brittnau, Canton Aargau, Switzerlandthe cable burster TERRA-EXTRACTOR X 300 C was used to renovate an old sewer house connections.
The old pipe from clayware had been replaced by new screwable short pipe modules from HDPE. The TERRA-EXTRACTOR X 300 C has a maximum pulling force of 30 tonnes (33 UStonnes, 66'000 lbs). It bursts old pipes from cast iron, concrete, steel or clayware and pulls in new HDPE pipes, all in one simultaneous operation.
The TERRA-EXTRACTOR X 300 C is a innovative cable burster to replace old pipes in diameters from ø 34 - 220 mm (ø 1.5" - 8.6"). Lengths up to 120 m (400 ft) are possible. With a pullback force of 300 kN (30 tonnes, 33 UStonnes, 66'000 lbs) it renews old pipes from cast iron, steel, clayware or PE/PVC.The new HDPE pipes have outer diameters of 63 - 180 mm (2.5" - 7"). Special pulling cables ø 22 mm (0.86") and ø 14 mm (0.55") allow the renewal of old pipes with smallest diameters. The X 300 C can be dismounted and installed even in a cellar.
