Workshop
manually operated butt welding machine suitable for PE, PP, PVDF and other
thermoplastics pipes and fittings.
The
pivoting clamps allow the machine to fabricate segmented bends with different
radii.
The
machine being capsizable into the frame, reduces the overall dimensions for
transport and stocking when not in use.
The
machine is supplied complete with:
 |
Basic
machine including the frame
|
 |
Revolving
electric facing tool with drill or reduction gear motor,
|
 |
Revolving
PTFE coated heating mirror
|
 |
Two

|
 |
Light
weight alloy reducing rings for the pivoting clamps (4 inserts per set) |
Basic
machine
 |
Description
The basic machine is composed of:
 |
A fixed trolley on which are mounted the lever, one
main clamp and a back support
|
 |
A movable trolley on which are mounted one main clamp
and a back support
|
 |
On blocking
handwheel
|
|
Maintenance
It is strongly suggested to
always keep the machine clean, with particular care of the bolts.
Keep
attention while inserting the electric facing tool and the PTFE coated heating
mirror, avoiding damage to the machine's slide bars.
Facing Tool
 |
Description
The
electric facing tool is composed of:
 |
The
facing tool body
|
 |
Two
pulleys where are mounted the blades
|
 |
A
drill engine
|
 |
A
starting push button
|
 |
A
connecting box |
|
Heating
mirror
Description
The
heating mirror is composed of:
 |
The
heating mirror coated with green colour PTFE complete with thermometer and
connecting
box
|
 |
The
electronic thermostat located on the connecting
box . |
Important
The
heating mirror's temperature during the working operations is always above 200
°C, therefore keep attention and utilize if possible protective gloves in order
to avoid burns.
b.
Welding
b.1
Machine set up
-
Connect
the machine to the power supply
-
By
acting on the push buttons of the thermostat located on the bottom part of
the heating mirror, set up the temperature needed for the welding.
In
order to select the necessary temperature, operate the
push buttons, increasing or reducing the value according to the type of material
and wall thickness of the pipe to be weld ,the most common values are the
following:
 |
HDPE
210 °C +/- 10
|
 |
PP
200 °C +/- 10 |
 |
PVDF
230 °C +/- 10
|
The
above values are also depending on pipe wall thickness, therefore for accurate
temperature setting up we suggest to check the enclosed graphic.
In
order to avoid mistakes on temperature selection, the
maximum possible setting value is 299 °C.
Important !!!
The
heating mirror's temperature during working operations is always above 200°C,
therefore keep attention and utilize if possible protective gloves in order to
avoid burns.
Before
proceeding to the first weld, wait until the lights have been switched on and
off three times, this allows the stabilization of the temperature on the heating
mirror surface.
-
Take
from the tool box the reductions needed, and fix them by using the proper
screw into the main clamp and the derivation clamp. (the diameter is
engraved into the reductions)
-
Insert
the pipes to be welded into the clamps, taking care to leave enough space
for the facing unit insertion.
-
Start
with the facing operation
b.2
Facing operation
 |
1.
Insert the facing tool between the two pieces to be welded, and start the
engine by means of pushing the push button.
2.
Approach
the two pipe ends by means of acting on the lever, and apply a small pressure in
order to avoid the block of the facing tool (engine might burn out). When the
shavings are regular and homogeneous, take away the two pipe ends, then shut off
the engine and rotate back the facing tool.
3.
Approach the two pipes ends and verify the alignment – adjust if
needed.
|
In
order to realign the pipes :
 |
a.
Untighten the screws A
b.
Adjust the clamp on horizontal way
c.
Tighten the screws A
Remember
to not touch the pipe ends after the facing
operation.
|
b.3
Welding
 |
1.
Insert the heating mirror between the two pipe ends, taking care that the
thermostat has been set up to the correct welding temperature and the surfaces
of the heating mirror is the one set up
2.
Approach the two pipe ends towards the heating mirror by means of acting
on the lever and applying the correct welding pressure as per attached Welding
Tables.
Wait
for the bead formation, then reduce the pressure, keeping the two pipe ends in
contact with the mirror.
|
3.
One
heating time has elapsed, take away the two pipe ends from the mirror by means
of acting
quickly
the lever in order to open the trolley, rotate back the heating mirror and by
means of
acting
quickly the lever in order to close the trolley, applying the correct welding
pressure as per
the welding table .
The
value of the pressure can be read on the pressure index and while achieved such
value, block
the trolleys by means of tightening the handwheel.
-
Following
correct cooling time, keep strongly the lever and untighten the handwheel -
reduce to zero the pressure.
-
Take
away the welded piece
-
Check
the welding
-
Important
! never try to cool down the welding and in case of strong wind, operate in
protected area
In
case of rain or ambient temperature less than -5 °C or higher than 40 °C, the
welding operation cannot be done, as these weather conditions affect the good
result of the welding.
c.
Fabrication
of segmented bends
 |
In
case of utilizing the machine for the fabrication of segmented bends with
different radii, the main clamps should be rotated by means of loosening the
below screws, and rotating according to the angle index. (see figure)
As
far as concerns the end float, vertically there's not any regulation due to the
fact that there will be a maximum difference of 0,1 - 0,2 mm. Sideways by means
of adjusting the cross slide the two pipe ends should be aligned and the pipe
should be centred with the facing tool.
|
d.
Welding of injection moulded fittings
 |
In
case of utilizing the machine for the welding of injection moulded fittings, the
back supports should be adjusted by moving and/or rotating them after loosening
the blocking hand wheels.
