The PE-10 Pipe Bursting Module is designed for the replacement of service lines from 3/4″ to 3″ in diameter. It offers cable pull lengths of up to 150′ and a pull-back speed of up to 13′ per minute, depending on soil conditions.
The Pipe Bursting Process:
Pipe bursting with the PE-10, using the Chassis Mount Pipe Splitter, prevents small service lines from breaking into sections and interfering with the gripper module during operation. In situations where the chassis pipe splitter cannot be used, the PE-10’s open-pathway gripper system allows for easy removal of the cable from the grippers, making it simple to address any broken piping sections that disrupt the pulling function.
When using the PE-10 in small pit spaces, the Vertical Cable Guide automatically routes the bursting cable vertically out of a trench or pit, increasing efficiency for a small crew or one-man operation. For pipes under 2″, our 4-blade pre-splitter assists in splitting the pipe in front of the bursting head. The pre-splitter is designed to be re-sharpened multiple times, ensuring longevity and reducing accessory replacement costs.
