RSMLining supplies and Kobus Teamup to introduce Hydraulic Re-rounding System R


SMLining Supplies Global Ltd is one of the leading suppliers to the CIPPmarket.We are excited to introduce the Kobus KR200


Re-rounder to our extensive portfolio fromthismonth onwards. The KR200 is a powerful hydraulicwinch capable of delivering 10 tonnes of force, driven by its own separate hydraulic power pack.On the toughest sections of damaged pipe, the powerful hydraulicmotors can safely re-round the pipe quickly and efficiently. Re-rounding of pitch fibre pipes and then repairingwith aCIPP liner has been amethod of repair formany years in theUK industry.The re- rounding process has always been a manual, hand-driven system- the Kobus KR200 is revolutionising this methodology.The robust design is compact enough to fit inmost standard sizemanholes, is easy to assemble, and the height can be adjusted using themodular frame sections.These sections allowease of handling and transportation so the systemcan be readily available for any job. The winch operates on a similar principle to a capstan winch - the pulling cable is pulled off the spool as it winds the‘pig’ through the pipe. In effect, this means the length of the pulling cable is not restricted by the spool capacity, giving the potential capacity of 100metres plus. This 10 tonne capacity machine is capable of re-rounding a drain up to 25% collapsed, on lengths of over 100m and diameters up to


150mm. One very satisfied customer, Vaughan Kemp of Principal Drainage, commented: “We pride ourselves on adopting new methods that save time, are safer, less physically demanding for our operatives, and project a professional image to our customers. The Kobus Re- rounder does all of that for us.”

visit.Manufacturers such as Rioned havemodernised equipment,with the range of features and the use of remote control prompting a switch in the industry to single-man operations.” “While the advancements in technology havemade a difference to the waywework, the payload and the amount of equipmentwe can carry in a 3.5t van has been an issue.As features have improved, theweight of the jetters has increased.This restrictedwhatwe could put in 3.5t vans and using bigger vans is not an option, as itwouldmean operatives needing aC-class licence.These days the peeled back approach to equipment is better for the business.” The development of a newvan-pack template has been a collaborative effort, combining feedback fromtheDyno-Rod engineers, Paul’s own experience and the technical expertise ofTechnicalCamera Services (TCS) andAndyGuest Jetters.
