In this video, we will be looking at the UTB10 Europress Battery Powered Pressing tool. This tool represents German engineering at its best. It is primarily designed for pressing the Europress SuperSize Pressfit tube and fittings in sizes 139.7mm and 168.3mm diameter, or the equivalent to 5 and 6-inch nominal bore pipe. However, in addition to this, due to its incredible pressing force, the UTB10 is also recommended for those special high-pressure industrial applications in sizes 76.1mm to 108mm.
Let’s look at the specifications, features, and benefits of the UTB10.
- The physical dimensions of this tool are an overall length of 650mm, a width of 95mm, and a height of 320mm.
- The combined weight of the Pressing tool and intermediate adaptor jaw is 12.8kg excluding the battery.
- The innovative brushless motor technology of the pressing machine ensures high performance combined with reduced maintenance, delivering a maximum power output of 450 watts, along with an incredible piston force of 120 kilonewtons.
- The UTB10 is supplied with a Milwaukee 18-volt lithium-ion battery. The estimated capacity is 20-30 pressing cycles performed on one battery charge. This will vary somewhat depending on the tube size, and the regularity. Battery recharge time is approximately 60 minutes.
- You can check the remaining battery capacity at any time using the battery status display.
- The tool has a piston stroke of 60mm. The longer stroke makes it ideal for pressing those larger pipe diameters and will take slightly longer to press compared to smaller tools.
- Thanks to the ergonomically designed handles, the pressing machine sits securely in your hands. However, it is heavier and can feel a bit cumbersome compared to the smaller tools.
- The operation and function of the pressing cycle is made via a non-obtrusive start button integrated in the handle.
- The head of the tool can be rotated 180° giving excellent flexibility for tight installations.
- For pressing Europress Supersize fittings 139.7mm and 168.3mm diameters, with the UTB10, this is a two-press cycle process. Once the first press is performed, the Pressing Chain is repositioned on the Pressfit Joint, and then a second press cycle is carried out.
- This tool offers the functionality to download operation logs. With the implementation of Bluetooth wireless technology, communication with the UTB10 can be made with any smartphone, tablet, or similar device. This means evaluation of all the pressing performance data can be made via the NovoCheck App, giving total confidence and transparency of the Europress pipe systems integrity, an excellent QA tool.
- It has built-in signals and warnings which will alert the installer to any under-performance.
- The tool is supplied in a purpose-built robust carry case, ensuring complete protection during storage and transit.
The UTB10 is available for either hire or purchase. It is an essential machine for any pipeline installer installing the Europress Supersize Pressfit Piping System, or any special high-pressure Pressfit applications at 76.1mm larger. It could be beneficial to purchase this tool if you have a long-term project or are regularly using Europress Supersize.
