OVERVIEW

Smooth Wire Feeding for Tough Jobs

Every welder knows the frustration of a sputtering arc caused by poor wire feeding. When you are pulling wire from a bulk drum across the shop floor, or trying to push soft aluminum wire through a long liner, friction is your enemy. The ESAB RT PP2R Push-Pull Drive is the solution to these common headaches. It acts as a "booster" for your wire, grabbing it from the bulk pack and pushing it gently but firmly toward your welder, ensuring that your main feeder doesn't have to do all the heavy lifting alone.

Why You Need the PP2R:

  • Stop Bird-Nesting: By balancing the tension in the wire conduit, this drive unit prevents the wire from bunching up, saving you from downtime and wasted wire.
  • Go the Distance: If your station is far from your wire supply, this unit bridges the gap, allowing you to weld 20, 30, or even 50 feet away from the drum without a drop in performance.
  • Perfect for Aluminum: Soft wires are notorious for kinking. The 2-roll system grips aluminum gently, ensuring it arrives at the contact tip in perfect condition.

This unit is built tough for the shop environment and is designed to integrate seamlessly with your existing ESAB setup. Whether you are running a robotic cell or a manual station with high-volume wire requirements, the PP2R ensures that the wire is there when you pull the trigger, every single time. It turns a complex, friction-heavy feeding path into a smooth, reliable delivery system, letting you focus on the puddle rather than the equipment.

FAQ

The PP2R serves as an intermediate drive unit to assist in feeding welding wire over long distances, reducing friction and strain on the primary feeder.

Yes, the 2-roll drive system is well-suited for soft wires like aluminum, helping to prevent deformation and feeding issues.

It is typically installed between the bulk wire source (drum or pac) and the primary wire feeder.

The unit is generally integrated into the ESAB system's control and power architecture; check the specific manual for voltage requirements.

Yes, by pushing the wire to the feeder, it reduces the drag that typically causes the drive rolls to slip or the wire to tangle.

'2R' indicates that the unit utilizes a 2-roll drive mechanism to grip and propel the wire.

Yes, it is designed for GMAW (MIG) and FCAW (Flux-Cored) applications requiring bulk wire delivery.

Drive rolls are often sold separately or selected based on the specific wire diameter you intend to run.
