In February of 2013 PSR provided two complete tube extraction systems including an array of tube cutters, collet tube pullers, extractors, tube choppers, support equipment and custom rigging systems to a major US demolition contractor to detube 4 large condensers located at the FPL- Port Everglades Plant.

The total tube count was 72,600 Our field technician provided 9 days of safety and tool operation training, tool and equipment maintenance training and guidance on the “art and science” of the tube removal process.

Each pulling line removed and chopping 4ea.-40 long foot tubes per minute  utilizing 4 men. Average production rates, labor utilization requirements and consumable parts wear are as follows:

• 4 tubes per minute (Titanium/stainless steels tubes at 1’& 7/8”OD)
• .017 man hour required to pull each tube
• $.02 consumable part costs per tube

Our tube removal technology and technical support services enable our clients to greatly reduce material extraction costs, project duration and increase the value of their scrap compared to alternate recovery methods.
