HammerHead® Trenchless Introduces New CIPP Hot-Water Curing System at WWETT 2019

Feb. 26, 2019– LAKE MILLS, Wisc.HammerHead Trenchless, a Charles Machine Works Company, introduced the HeatWave, an all-in-one, hot-water curing system, at the recent WWETT exposition in Indianapolis, February 21-23. The HeatWave is a field tested, user-friendly, fully integrated unit that provides for quick activation of the resin and shortened curing times.

The HeatWave system’s ability to move water at up to 11 gpm helps it raise temperatures faster and keep an entire run up to 12 inches in diameter evenly heated to the target temperature. Moving more water through the boiler improves system efficiency resulting in shorter curing times and even cures throughout the length of the run.

All controls are centrally located for the operator’s ease of use. To switch from fill to recirculation mode, the operator simply turns a lever on the panel. An onboard return-temperature sensor makes it easy to monitor temperature, helping operators confidently follow the curing schedule for a given product combination on a specific job.

The HeatWave is the industry’s only hot-water CIPP curing unit designed, constructed and tested to United States and Canada safety standards, including applicable portions of UL 1776 & CAN/ CSA 22.2 no. 68.

The HeatWave is available from HammerHead Trenchless or authorized dealers. Authorized dealers can be found on the web at www.hammerheadtrenchless.com or by calling 800.331.6653. (International: + [1] 920.648.4848).

HammerHead® Trenchless Announces New Products at 2019 WWETT Show

February 12, 2019 – Lake Mills, Wisc.HammerHead Trenchless, a Charles Machine Works Company, announced today their new product intros for the 2019 WWETT show in Indianapolis February 21-23. Visitors to their booth #5206 will be able to see their all-new QuickLok inversion drums along with new cam-locking nozzle adaptors.

The QuickLok’s design offers cured-in-place-pipe (CIPP) installers the most user-friendly and best performing inversion drum in the industry. With two drum sizes capable of holding up to 125 feet & 225 feet of 4” liner respectively, the QuickLok features a patent-pending, single-lever lockdown that gives operators a positive seal and secure latch every time.

“The single-lever lockdown feature comes directly from user input after more than a year of in-the-field testing,” said Matt Gabrielse, product manager of HammerHead Trenchless CIPP lines. “Time is everything once you’ve mixed the resin. If operators need access to the drum again for an adjustment on the fly, the QuickLok permits them to do it quickly, saving valuable minutes.”

Other user-inspired features include extra viewing ports and a detachable spindle wheel that makes it easier to navigate tight areas. Once in place, the wheel may be reattached to either side of the drum, accommodating workspace limitations or the preference of the operator.

Along with the new drums, HammerHead is also launching new cam-locking nozzle adaptors. Compatible with nozzles from other manufacturers, the adaptors enable CIPP operators to cover all 18 straight, 45- and 90-degree nozzle configurations to invert liners 2 to 8 inches in diameter with just two adaptors, using six nozzles they may already have.

“These new cam-locking adaptors can greatly reduce the number of attachments CIPP operators need to have on hand,” Gabrielse noted. “They’re another great example of HammerHead listening to the needs of our customers and responding with solutions.”

You can see both sizes of QuickLok inversion drums and the new cam-locking nozzle adaptors at the company’s WWETT show booth #5206. These products are also available from HammerHead Trenchless Equipment or from authorized dealers. Authorized dealers can be found on the web at www.hammerheadtrenchless.com or by calling 800.331.6653. (International: + [1] 920.648.4848).
