Pow-R Mole - Model PD-22 -Pipe Bursting Machine for Difficult Soil Conditions
The PD-6 was designed for use in difficult soil conditions where a pipe or cable is to be installed under a road or in an area which cannot be dug. The PD-6 can install pipes by either directional thrust boring or pipe bursting. These machines are excellent in areas where space is limited. The PD-6 will operate from a pit only 56 inches long and has a thrust force of 84,822 lbs@ 3,000 psi. The maximum push rate of PD-6 is 7 feet/minute and it can install up to 8-inch ID pipe in most compressible soils.
The Model PD-6 uses a cylinder-actuated positive-locking, non-slip jaw assembly that provides a steady force when driving push rods. Sections of 2.5` push rods are screwed together and thrust into the ground. When the target pit is reached, the steering head is removed and the appropriate ground expander is attached. The pipe or cable that is to be installed is attached with a grip to the expander and the rods are retrieved until the pipe is installed.
The PD-6 uses detection technology located in the head of the rod to accurately establish its location underground to within inches. The detection equipment provides information that indicates the orientation, location and depth of our conically shaped steering head. This allows you to guide the rods around obstacles such as pipes, ducting and building foundations safely and accurately until the final target is reached.
