Concentric Pullback Swivel
The Concentric Pullback Swivel is an essential component designed for use with 8-inch through 15-inch rerounders. It features a unique design where the air hose swivel fits within the center opening of the pullback swivel, allowing the rerounder to rotate freely without entangling the pullback line around the air hose. This innovative swivel mechanism provides a smooth, tangle free operation, increasing efficiency and safety during pipe rerounding and other pullback operations.

-
1. Prevents Line and Hose Tangling
One of the primary benefits of the concentric pullback swivel is its ability to keep the pullback straps and air hose separate and untangled. By positioning the air hose swivel concentrically within the pullback swivel, the system allows continuous rotation without wrapping or twisting of the lines. This prevents costly downtime and damage to hoses or straps caused by tangling.
-
2. Enables Smooth Rotation and Operation
The swivel design supports full 360-degree rotation, facilitating continuous and smooth pulling and rerounding operations. This uninterrupted rotation capability is crucial in maintaining steady tension and preventing jerks or snags, which can compromise the safety and efficiency of the operation.
-
3. Improves Equipment Longevity
By reducing the wear and tear caused by twisting and kinking of hoses and straps, the concentric pullback swivel contributes to longer equipment life. It protects vital components, lowering maintenance costs and reducing the frequency of replacements.
-
4. Compact and Integrated Design
The integration of the air hose swivel inside the pullback swivel minimizes additional bulk, ensuring the setup remains compact and manageable on the jobsite. This is especially important in confined spaces or when maneuvering large pipes during rerounding.
Why It Matters:
In pipe rerounding and pullback operations, efficiency and safety depend heavily on the ability to manage hoses, lines, and straps without interruption or damage. The concentric pullback swivel matters because it solves a common operational challenge (line entanglement) by enabling free and continuous rotation of the rerounder.
Without such a swivel, air hoses and pullback straps can become wrapped or twisted, causing delays, increasing wear, and risking equipment failure or safety incidents. By eliminating these risks, the concentric pullback swivel helps maintain consistent workflow, reduces equipment downtime, and protects operators from hazardous situations related to tangled or snagged lines.
This component plays a critical role in maintaining the integrity and smooth function of rerounding systems, which are often used in demanding environments where precision and reliability are essential.
