Corghi PU1500 Pneumatic Power Unit
type: Product
description: Corghi PU1500 Pneumatic Power Unit The PU1500 is a bead-breaking assist that mounts directly onto a tire changer you already own, and the single most consequential thing about it is what it does not need: an electrical connection. It is fully pneumatic. Everything it does is driven by shop air, which means fitting one is a mechanical job and a hose, not a conduit run, a breaker and an electrician's visit. For a workshop that wants more bead-breaking capability without rebuilding a bay, that distinction is the whole proposition. Why fully pneumatic matters more than it sounds Retrofit accessories usually fail on installation cost rather than purchase price. An add-on that needs power turns into a conversation about where the supply comes from, whether the circuit is adequate, and who is allowed to do the work. A tire bay is also a poor environment for added electrical infrastructure — it is wet, it is full of conductive debris, and it gets washed down. A unit that runs on the air line you already have avoids that class of problem entirely, and it avoids the safety questions that come with putting more electrical connections near standing water. It also means the unit is as portable as its mounting allows. Operating pressure is listed as 10 bar, and the unit weighs 105.8 lbs (48 kg). What it actually does The PU1500 provides a pneumatic bead breaker delivering a force on the roller of 7000 N. That is aimed squarely at the tires standard equipment struggles with: extra low profile, run-flat and PAX wheels. Those constructions are engineered specifically to resist deformation with no air in them — that is the point of a run-flat — and the same property that lets a car limp home on a flat is the property that makes the bead refuse to release on a changer. A roller-type assist applies force progressively around the bead rather than as a single blow, which is what protects the sidewall of a tire you intend to remount. The unit is designed for installation directly on the t…
