Your Product Line Core Puller
The use of a core puller expands the variety of concrete masonry units which can be produced on a concrete products machine. Many of the complex concrete masonry unit designs which are popular today feature horizontal openings that have been formed by a core puller. The horizontal openings can be in various shapes. The number of shapes that can be made with the core puller are virtually limitless. Products made possible by using a core puller:
A core puller is a concrete products
machine attachment. It is comprised of a drawer which is activated by
either A core puller is installed in front of the mold on the concrete products machine, above the front delivery conveyor (green block conveyor). It can be wheel-mounted or leg-mounted. Depending on available space, wheel-mounted models offer easy roll-away to facilitate maintenance on the concrete products machine. The leg-mounted model requires less floor space, however, maneuverability is not as easy. Core pullers are available in different sizes and strokes, and can be engineered to fit any pallet size and concrete products machine on the market. Designed with double solenoid valves and simple circuitry, this mechanism requires little maintenance.

hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders to which the tools (forming core
or "forks") required to form the horizontal cores are
attached. The forming forks are usually mounted on spring or rubber pads
in order to minimize transmission of vibration to the core puller
mechanism.
