KOBUS KPP400 pipe winch

In the UK and Europe, hundreds of thousands of sections of outdated water and gas pipes need to be replaced. However, this is an expensive and time-consuming process. Poor water quality resulting from lead leaking into drinking water from old lead water pipes remains a problem in many cities. In Poland, this is especially true of connections made between 1920 and 1970. Service pipes that have passed their useful life and repeated repairs to these pipes result in potentially increased leakage of precious water. It is extremely important to use and apply modern methods and tools to solve these problems. Meeting these expectations is the British manufacturer of pipe extractors, KOBUS.

KOBUS pipe extractors make it possible to dismantle an old pipe, minimize the risk of damaging nearby installations and their use is safer than other methods used for this type of work. KOBUS pipe extractors are ideal for both water pipes (model KPP300 and KPP400) and gas pipes (model KPP400). With their help, we can replace lead, copper, steel and polyethylene pipes up to a length of 25 meters in one stroke of the machine. The KPP400 model is mounted on the arm of the mini-excavator and is driven by its auxiliary hydraulic system.
