What Is a Butt Fusion Machine and How Does It Work?

Owner at MM-Tech Fusion Manufacturing Limited, a dedicated manufacturer of quality HDPE welding machines

Butt fusion welding is a type of hot plate welding for thermoplastic pipes. It is among the two primary methods to fusion a water pipe and polyethylene gas. Using a butt fusion machine will make the process easier, faster, and safer to perform. There are different types of machinery available to suit your welding requirements, including manual, automatic, and hydraulic butt fusion machines. The process may vary depending on the machine you are using. Here is an overview:

Manual butt fusion welding machine

The machine body comes with two aluminum clamps and a Teflon-coated heating plate, with a digital display and a user-friendly handler. It comes with an electrical milling cutter and reducing inserts, and it can support the heating plate and milling cutter.

An excellent manual butt fusion machine has a welding range of 63mm to 160mm, with reducing inserts at 63mm, 75mm, 90mm, 110mm, 125mm, and 140mm. The total power is 1.75Kw, with the trimmer at 0.75Kw and the heating plate at 1.0Kw. The machine works on 220V, 50Hz.

Another MM-Tech 160mm manual butt fusion machine with pressure guage will be launched out soon. Follow us and you will get the surprise.

Hydraulic machines

There are different types of hydraulic butt fusion machines, and they differ according to welding range, total power, maximum pressure, size, and the features and accessories that come with each unit. For instance, a SWT-V315/90H hydraulic butt fusion welding machine has four clamps and two hydraulic cylinders with quick couplings. The shaft is complete with a German-made oil seal kit. The heating plate is Teflon-coated with a separate temperature control system, and the hydraulic hoses come with Italian-made quick couplings. The machine also has an electrical milling cutter along with a premium tooling box and accumulator. You can get one with a data logger, stub end holder, support roller, and different inserts.

Automatic machines

The gear case of an automatic butt fusion machine has a compact and firm steel box to resist extreme working conditions. The machine itself is designed for user-friendly and safer operation, with an interface that offers convenience to operators. This way, labor costs can also be reduced. Site classification is set automatically, so you can instantly provide welding data under the same working conditions. A high-quality automatic butt fusion welding machine comes with a backlit display, a full set of reducing inserts, a milling cutter with a safety micro-switch, and a Teflon-coated heating plate.

MM-Tech will launch out the new generation CNC butt fusion welding machine in the next half of year 2020.Follow us and get to know more MM-Tech machines.
