A strip puller is a machine or tool used in industrial processes to remove or strip a layer or coating from a material. It is commonly used in applications where it is necessary to remove a protective film, insulation, adhesive backing, or any other layer from a surface.

The strip puller typically consists of a motorized unit with a set of rollers or belts that grip and pull the strip or layer from the material. The material to be stripped is fed into the machine, and the strip puller applies a controlled force to separate the layer from the surface.

The design of a strip puller can vary depending on the specific application and the characteristics of the material being stripped. Some strip pullers may use rotating blades or cutting mechanisms to initiate the separation, while others rely on the gripping force of the rollers or belts to pull the strip away. The machine may also include adjustable tension controls to accommodate different material thicknesses or strip properties.

Strip pullers are used in a wide range of industries and applications. For example, in the manufacturing of electronic components, a strip puller can be used to remove the protective backing from adhesive tapes used in surface mounting processes. In the automotive industry, a strip puller may be employed to remove insulation from wire harnesses. Additionally, in packaging and labeling operations, a strip puller can assist in removing the backing from labels or packaging materials.
