Abstract: An apparatus for pulling extrusions from a press, comprising two pullers (5,6) which alternatingly pull the extruded product (3) along an extrusion path and each are equipped with a separator (16) that moves along, and further comprising a cross-transfer conveyor (8) which conveys the extruded products upon separation in a direction transversely of the extrusion direction (F) for further processing, is characterized in that puller heads of the pullers (5,6) are designed to be movable transversely out of the extrusion path (2) for lateral shifting of the clamped extruded product by a cross-drive.

Abstract: A puller for extrusion profiles at an extruder is disclosed including a carriage which is movable on rails along a runout conveyor for the extrusion profiles and at which a puller head with a fixed and a movable clamping jaw is arranged for pivotal movement about a vertical axis so that the puller head may be swung laterally out of the runout conveyor. The two clamping jaws extend approximately across the width of the runout conveyor, and the movable clamping jaw comprises a plurality of clamping segments which are supported at the puller head for free swinging movement about a horizontal axis and adapted to be pivoted in opening sense by a drive means.
