🔧 Key Visual Components & Operation Guide
Clamps and Frame
Two fixed and two movable clamps hold and align the pipes securely—often mounted on a hydraulic frame for manual fusion up to 160 mm.Facing (Trimmer) Tool
Used to trim and smooth the pipe ends, ensuring flat, parallel surfaces for a clean weld.Heating Plate
PTFE-coated heater reaches approx. 270 °C. It’s removable and comes with a separate temperature controller.Hydraulic Unit or Manual Pump
Generates the force needed to press the pipe ends together during heating and cooling stages.
📘 Step-by-Step Welding Process (standard for 40–160 mm machines)
Based on typical procedures (e.g., MHW160, SWT-V160) C
Align & Secure: Position pipes in clamps, align precisely.
Facing: Use the trimmer to shave pipe ends to virgin plastic with parallel faces.
Clean: Remove debris and wipe ends with alcohol.
Heat: Insert heating plate, apply pressure to soften surfaces (~220–270 °C).
Remove & Join: Switch off and remove heater, press pipe ends together under pressure.
Cool: Maintain pressure until joint cools and solidifies.
Finish: Release clamps, inspect weld bead for even fusion.
