How to Choose the Correct Fusion Machine to Save Money and Time

Thermoplastic pipe fusion replaces broken traditional piping with a system that is leak-free and resistant to corrosion. McElroy Parts can help you in selecting a fusion machine that suits the individual needs of any project.

 

Miami, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 03/07/2023 --Thermoplastic pipe joining, which is being employed in a rising number of facilities, is a field in which McElroy Parts is a world leader. Choosing a fusion machine that meets your specific worksite requirements is a critical step in every new installation. In order to select the proper machine, you should first look at what is the range and thickness of the walls. This will help determine the required carriage size and/or combination. The pipe size, dimensional ratio (DR), and fusing needs will indicate whether a low, medium, or high-force fusion machine is ideal for the project.

Different equipment will be needed to fuse smaller pipes than it would to fuse large pipes in a lengthy pipeline. For bigger projects, take into account mobility and how much equipment will be transported from site to site. If you have several fusions scheduled for the day, you should give hydraulic clamping significant consideration. Operators of manual fusion machines must use their own strength to apply the fusion pressure, which might wear them out. It can save a lot of time and work to hydraulically drive the necessary muscle.

On the other hand, the most potent machine might not be required if only a few fusions are taking place. A machine from the fusion product line that is lighter and more affordable might be a better option.

The money invested on productivity tools that speed up the fusion process will be money well spent. Regardless of expense, you should always employ the best equipment available when working on a challenging project with a short deadline. You'll end up saving time and money this way.
