Safe Core Plug Removal with Weducon’s Plug-Puller

Plug-puller-core-plug-removal-safe-and-efficient

Maximize safety, efficiency, and protect your materials

Core plug removal in paper, converting and packaging production is essential but often risky work. Manual methods expose workers to significant safety hazards, including back, neck, and wrist injuries.

In addition to these health risks, traditional plug removal causes material damage, resulting in wasted resources and additional costs. Weducon’s Plug-Puller eliminates these problems, offering a safe, efficient, and reliable solution for your production line.

How Weducon’s Plug-Puller works: hydraulic precision for effortless core plug removal

Weducon’s Plug-Puller uses hydraulic power to provide controlled and consistent pressure, effortlessly removing core plugs without excessive physical effort. The system operates with two hands, ensuring ergonomics and safety for operators. This hydraulic solution gradually builds pressure to eliminate the risks associated with traditional methods, such as sudden plug release that could lead to injuries. Key features of the Plug-Puller:

  • Hydraulic Precision: Controlled pressure ensures smooth, damage-free removal of core plugs.
  • Two-Hand Operation: Safe and easy for both left- and right-handed operators, reducing the risk of injury.
  • Efficient Performance: Removes two core plugs in under 30 seconds, ensuring minimal downtime and maximum productivity.

Reduce safety and liability exposure in daily roll handling

Core plug removal is often treated as a routine task, but manual removal can depend heavily on force, improvised tools, and operator experience. When a firmly fitted plug suddenly releases, operators may be exposed to crushing, strain or fall risks.

Weducon’s Plug-Puller replaces force-based plug removal with a controlled hydraulic operation. This helps reduce daily exposure to manual handling risks, supports a safer and more consistent working method, and helps prevent avoidable damage to cores and paper rolls.

A recent ATC report revealed the risks of manual plug removal, assigning it as ‘hazardous’ and advising an immediate ban. Weducon’s Plug-Puller proves an efficient way to remove core plugs without harming operators, and leaves cores and paper rolls undamaged.


Quick and easy: removing two core plugs in less than 30 seconds

Weducon’s Plug-Puller isn’t just fast—it’s incredibly efficient. In under 30 seconds, you can safely remove two core plugs, ensuring your production line keeps moving. No more waiting for excessive manual effort to remove the plugs or worrying about injuries. Our two-handed hydraulic operation is easy for both left- and right-handed operators, ensuring everyone can work safely and efficiently.


Proven results in the packaging industry

Don’t just take our word for it – the Weducon’s Plug-Puller is already being used by a leading packaging manufacturer and is delivering excellent results. The company was looking for an alternative to traditional manual methods of removing plugs due to the risk of injury and material damage.

After putting the Plug-Puller into use, they saw a big jump in productivity and no more damage to materials. Being able to remove two core plugs in less than 30 seconds has helped them streamline their operations, improve product quality, and keep their production lines running smoothly.

The Plug-Puller is designed to work seamlessly in any production environment. The video demonstrates its ease of use and showcases the system’s ability to integrate into a variety of settings. After watching this demo, you’ll be fully confident that the Plug-Puller can be a game-changer for your facility, too.
