Styles of Belts

Calmec can provide a variety of styles to suit your application.  Often it is a question of the product being run through, the process required, and speed.

Product Summary

Cater Pullers are used as a means of providing consistent pull  of conduit and cables, usually as the product is exiting out of a prior process such as armoring or extruding, or even from a pay-off.  They can pull  a wide variety of flat or round armor as large as 5" in diameter, and as small as 1/4" in diameter.  Our Cater Pullers come with different styles of belts, depending on the application.  


Key Features

AC Flux Vector Motor & Drive

On all our latest machines is the insertion of AC Flux Vector Drive technology, comprising of a flux vector AC motor and drive controller. This replaces  the traditional higher maintenance DC motor drives.

 

Pneumatic Compression & Tension

In order to provide consistent pressure to the product run through the unit, Calmec uses multiple air cushions.  Both belt compression and belt tension are pressure adjustable to suit the style of belt used and the product being pulled.

 

Display Scaling

Depending on the type of product being run through the machine, Calmec can provide a meaningful ratio display to suit the application rather than just a value with no meaning.  For example, if conduit or armored cable is run through, we can display convolutions per foot/meter of product.

 

Operator Interface

Our latest machines have a fully programmable operator interface, which can display any pertinent data, permit electronic gear ratios, and provide display scaling.  Length measuring and line speed is also provided.  As well, controls to other accompanying machines can be included within.

Reduced Maintenance

The use of a flux vector AC drive system eliminates the higher maintenance DC motor.  The only item that ever needs changing is the belt.
