The plastic hose tractor plays an important role in the production of plastic hoses, and its advantages and disadvantages are as follows:

advantage

High traction force and uniform distribution: especially suitable for PE and other high connected pipes, as well as UPVC and other thin-walled pipes, which can ensure that the pipes are not easily deformed during the traction process and improve the forming quality of the product. For example, a four track tractor has a large and evenly distributed traction force, which can better adapt to the traction needs of thin-walled pipes.

Improving production efficiency: The use of single and double traction machines can improve production efficiency. The dual traction system does not stop sawing, achieving continuous extrusion and providing higher output while reducing waste.

Wide applicability: It can be matched with plastic extrusion production lines and is suitable for online traction of plastic pipes, profiles, and sheets. The machine configuration characteristics can be specially designed according to user requirements to meet different production needs.

Wide speed range and stable speed: For example, the double track traction method has a wide range of stepless speed regulation, uniform traction speed, and can ensure that the hose maintains uniform speed and tension during the forming process, thereby ensuring the quality of the pipe.

Adjustable clamping force: The clamping force of the traction machine gripper can be adjusted, which can clamp pipes of various diameters without causing surface deformation of the pipes or slippage of the traction machine, improving the versatility and applicability of the equipment.

Some traction machines have excellent performance: taking the Baster traction machine as an example, it has an ultra long contact length and can still ensure high traction force even with low friction between pipes and belts/rubber blocks; The lower track is adjusted to the pipe diameter position by mechanical/electric means, and the upper track/rubber block is compressed to the surface of the pipe by a cylinder; Each track is driven by a separate asynchronous motor, and the precise synchronization of the speed of each track is ensured through a closed-loop controller; Three track and above tractors come standard with imported servo motors for precision and stability; The belt traction machine comes standard with a Nord motor, which is high-speed and stable; Adopting imported encoders to form closed-loop control, the speed is more stable and reliable; It is also equipped with a large color touch screen, with alarm status display and alarm light prompts for easy data observation and equipment maintenance.

shortcoming

Complex structure and difficult maintenance: Some types of tractors, such as track tractors, have complex structures and are difficult to maintain. Once a malfunction occurs, professional technicians may be required for maintenance, which increases maintenance costs and downtime.

High equipment cost: Some high-performance and fully functional plastic hose tractors have high research and manufacturing costs, resulting in relatively expensive equipment prices. For some small businesses, this may increase their investment costs.
