Packer
The QuickLock sleeves are installed using a special OEM trolley called a packer.
Each packer can be used for at least two different nominal pipe diameters (and the special
intermediate sizes in between
– see Section 3 – “Technical Data Sheets”).
For each nominal pipe diameter, there is a suitable set of wheels, or a set of wheels with a wider
track. (See Section 4
– “QuickLock Wheel Set Charts”)
Special diameter sleeves usually require special sets of wheels, which are available upon
request.
The packer is usually connected to the camera or robot using a transfer bar and two ball joints.
Using a camera
The QuickLock system can be installed most efficiently when the packer is positioning using a camera.
Push rods or other insertion apparatus can also be used. However, a camera must be used during
installation.
Adjustable packer with sliding chassis
As of 07/2015, two offset packers with adjustable sliding chassis are available:
Packer I: 8”-12” packer
Packer II: 14”-20” packer
See “Adjustable Packer” Section 5.2 – “Operation” for further instructions on Page 48 and 49.
