Cable Caterpillar

The Cable Caterpillar, or Caterpillar Haul-Off Unit, is a crucial piece of downstream equipment in cable, wire, and tube extrusion lines. It functions as a precise, constant-tension pulling machine, using two opposing, continuous belt tracks—the "caterpillars"—to grip and pull the finished product through cooling and other processes. This unit is essential for maintaining the product's dimensional accuracy, regulating line speed, and ensuring a uniform diameter before the final winding stage, thereby guaranteeing consistent quality and throughput for the extrusion line. It is highly valued for its non-slip, gentle, and adjustable traction control.
