Poly pipe fusion machine is a device used to connect polyethylene pipes. It heats and melts the polyethylene material so that it fuses under pressure, thereby achieving the connection of pipes. This equipment is widely used in many industries such as tap water pipes, gas pipes, and oil pipes.
Poly pipe fusion machine types
Butt fusion welding machine : This welding machine is used for welding PE pipes. Models include 160, 200, 250, 315, 450, and 630, etc., which are suitable for PE pipes of different diameters. The butt fusion welding machine uses a heating plate to heat the ends of the pipes to a molten state and then presses them together to form a strong connection .
Electrofusion welding machine : This welding machine heats the HDPE Electrofusion Fittings through electric current to fuse them with the ends of the pipes. It is suitable for some specific installation environments, such as difficult-to-reach or complex terrain .
Detailed introduction :
Butt fusion welding machine : Butt fusion welding machine is one of the most commonly used equipment in construction, suitable for welding PE pipes such as water supply, drainage, and gas. Different types of welding machines correspond to pipes of different diameters, such as 160, 200, 250, etc. PE pipe welding machines with an outer diameter of less than 315 can be constructed using ordinary 220V power supply, while PE pipe hot melt machines above 450 must use a dedicated three-phase power supply.
Electric fusion welding machine: The electric fusion welding machine supports segmented welding through constant voltage and constant current, is suitable for the installation of polyethylene pipes, supports barcode scanning and printing data, and ensures the accuracy and reliability of the welding process.
These types of welding machines have their own characteristics and are suitable for different construction environments and pipeline types. Choosing a suitable Poly pipe fusion machine is crucial to ensuring the safety and stability of the pipeline system.
The difference between hot-melt butt welding machine and electric fusion welding machine
The main difference between hot-melt butt welding machine and electric fusion welding machine lies in the different technologies and applicable scenarios they use.
Hot-melt butt welding machine is a special equipment that uses hot-melt butt welding technology, mainly used for the connection of polyethylene pipes. It heats both ends of the pipe to melt it, and then cools and solidifies it under pressure to achieve the connection of the pipe. Hot-melt butt welding machine is suitable for PE pipes with larger diameters, usually used in pipes with diameters above DN75. It is characterized by firm connection and high stability, but the construction process is more complicated, requiring professional operators and more preliminary preparations.
Electrofusion welding machine uses the heat generated by electric energy to achieve the connection of pipes. It installs the connecting material between electrodes, and uses electric current to heat the resistance wire in the pipe fittings, so that the pipe and the pipe fittings are melted and bonded together. Electric fusion welding machine is suitable for PE pipes with smaller diameters, usually used in pipes above DN50. Its advantages are fast construction speed and no need for professional heating equipment, but it requires the use of electric fusion pipe fittings, which is more expensive.
