How to Use Electrofusion Welding Machine?

Electrofusion welding machines are a safe and high quality welding method that allows PE pipes and fittings to be joined by heating with low voltage over resistance wire.

1. Preparation

• Make sure that the pipe and fitting are suitable for the diameter and material type.
• Install the electrofusion machine on a flat and dry surface.
• Make sure it is operating at the appropriate voltage (usually 230V).

2. Cleaning and Marking of Pipe Ends

• The pipe surface must be cleaned of the oxide layer. Use a pipe scraper for this operation.
• Welding should never be done without cleaning the surface.
• A marking is made on the pipe up to the center of the fitting.

3. Assembly

• The pipe and fitting must be aligned and fixed (mechanical clamps are used).
• No movement is critical for weld quality.

4. Welding Process

• Connect the terminal ends of the electrofusion machine to the cable outlets on the fitting.
• Have the machine scan the barcode on the fitting (if automatic parameter reading is available).
• You can also enter parameters manually (such as voltage, duration).
• Start the welding process by pressing the “Start” button.
• Do not intervene until the welding time is complete.

5. Cooling and Control

• Do not move the pipe and fitting during the cooling period.
• The weld evenness is checked in the control windows on the fitting.
• A tightness test is recommended after welding.

⚠️ Safety and Cautions

• Work in an environment away from rain, moisture and mud.
• It is safe as there is no high voltage output during use, but care must be taken.
• Make sure the cables and connectors are secure.
• Do not allow children and unauthorized persons to interfere with the work.
