Elliott’s collet style tube puller is designed to quickly pull tube stubs from tube sheets without damaging the tube sheet hole. Offering the gripping power of a spear with the speed and convenience of a collet.
Equipped with a Heavy Duty Cone Drive® and the highly productive Automatic Cutting Force Control, Elliott’s SpeedCut is the easy way to quickly cut through tube bundles and shells in a single pass.
The SpeedCut is well-engineered to withstand tough tube bundle cutting applications. The unit comes with a rugged Baldor® Blade Drive Motor as well as a Heavy Duty Cone Drive® with “Double Enveloping”® Gearset for 3 times more contact between teeth and worm than standard gearsets. This provides extra torque with no increase in gear size.
The Automatic Cutting Force Control is a standard feature which optimizes cutting speed and increases productivity without sacrificing blade life. The cutting cross section of a vessel is smaller at the top and bottom because there are fewer tubes per row. During these portions of the cutting cycle, the saw feed automatically pauses while maintaining consistent cutting force – without sacrificing blade life and without the need for a constant attendant.
Elliott's 9060 Series One-Revolution Tube Cutters cut tubes quickly in both heat exchangers and boilers. Recommended for hand use only with the employment of a ratchet or wrench, these Tube Cutters are ideal for the puncturing of tubes prior to tube plugging.

The adjustable collar allows tubes to be cut or scored just beyond the tube sheet. The cutting blades are specially coated to increase longevity.
Each PTTC Tube Cutter Assembly is supplied with an installed blade, complete pilot set, and Allen wrenches. The 1/2" hex drive shank on cutters up to 1” OD allows the use of common Jacobs drill chucks for driver connection. 1-1/4” to 2-1/2” OD cutters require a 1/2" square drive and adapter.

Elliott's 376 / 396 Series Boiler Tube Cutters are power driven to cut those tubes in firetube and watertube boilers. The Series' primary purpose is to cut tubes to length on the common end of a firetube boiler. It is extremely important to cut tubes to a uniform length prior to beading the tubes when using a roll beading expander.
The 376 / 396 Boiler Tube Cutters have a 1” (25.4mm) male square drive that is easily adapted to tube rolling motors that are 150 RPM or less. The cutters may also be employed with a ratchet for applications in space restricted areas.
The wheel style boiler cutters are designed to have a long tool life, giving you years of trouble-free service.

Additionally, the 360° Positioning Handle enables access to those hard-to-reach tubes that are near channel plates and water box conditions.
The Collet Style Tube Tugger can quickly and successfully pull over 100 tube stubs in less than an hour! To allow for even faster tube pulling, use Elliott's Cyclgrip Semi-Continuous Tube Puller ”“ the perfect partner for the Collet Style Tube Tugger.
Elliott's M5630-00 Cyclgrip Semi-Continuous Tube Puller is an engineered product that continuously pulls chiller, heat exchanger, and condenser tubes after the tubes have been pulled free from the tube sheet, making it the ideal companion for the Collet Style Tube Tugger.
The Cyclgrip's unique design allows it to adjust to tube sizes without any additional tooling or tool adjustments. The puller's slim profile allows side tube mounting adjacent to water box and channel plates.
Additionally, the Cyclgrip easily pulls tubes that have been expanded into baffle or support plates, eliminating the use of tiresome slam hammers and accelerating the tube removal.
Elliott's Model 80-40125 Tube Tugger is a powerful continuous hydraulic tube pulling system for removing any type of tube material effortlessly from heat exchangers, chillers, and other heat transfer vessels.
With its 30 Ton pulling capacity, the Elliott Tube Tugger breaks expanded tube sheet joint bonds. The tugger then takes over and continuously pulls the tube when any obstructions are met. In many applications, tubes can be pulled from both tube sheets from one end of the heat exchanger.
The Tube Tugger's compact length of 15" (381.0mm) allows it to be used in confined space areas. For close clearance conditions or for extended reach, Nose Piece Extensions are available. Contact Customer Service for details.
Elliott's Model 80-40200 Super Tube Tugger is a powerful continuous hydraulic tube pulling system for removing any type of tube material effortlessly from boilers and surface condensers.

The hydraulic pumps' compact design is ideal for use in confined work areas. Other key features include an integral gauge, protective roll cage, and hydraulic quick disconnect.
Elliott's Model 904500 Manual Tube Puller is ideal for pulling a limited number of tubes in heat exchangers, chillers, fin fan coolers, and surface condensers.
The Manual Tube Puller incorporates a socket and thrust bearing to allow for use with an impact wrench. Elliott’s manual tube puller is a great value because the puller works on tube ODs 3/8” to 1” (9.5 to 25.4mm) – all you need to purchase is a nose piece for each tube OD. With most competitor pullers, you need to buy a separate puller for each tube size! E Series spears must be purchased separately.
Elliott's 430D Jumbo Tube Buster is the recommended driving tool for Elliott's Jumbo Knockout Tools to remove tube stubs in heat exchangers, firetube boilers, and watertube boilers.
Jumbo Knockout Tools are used to punch the tubes out of the tube sheet and are available in either 8" (203.0mm) or 16" (406.0mm) reach. The tools are piloted to prevent damage to the tube sheet.
