Abstract
A system for removing and replacing fire-tubes. The system can include a powered system, a fire-tube puller coupled to said powered system. The fire-tube puller has a puller back which is coupled to a plug rest. A plug rest is approximately perpendicular to the puller back, and the fire-tube will rest upon the plug rest when the fire-tube is being removed or installed. The system can also include a stack adjuster which is coupled to the plug rest. The stack adjuster can couple to a stack so as to reposition the stack.
Claims10
A vehicle mounted firetube removal and installation system comprising:
- a vehicle mounted arm with a distal end adapted to move in a vertical and horizontal direction;
- a puller back having a distal side and a proximal side, the proximal side being connected to the distal end of the arm by double hinges;
- a first plug rest having a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end being connected to the distal side of the puller back;
- a second plug rest parallel to the first plug rest, having a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end being connected to the distal side of the puller back;
- wherein the first and second plug rest are further being adapted for insertion into a firetube;
- a stack adjuster configured to be connected to the distal end of the first plug rest and adapted to decouple a stack from a fire-tube having a fluidly coupled and removable stack extending from a fire-tube exhaust of the firetube;
- a powered system adapted to move the arm in a vertical, horizontal, proximal, and distal direction.
