Butt fusion involves the simultaneous heating of the ends of two pipe/fitting components which are to be joined, until a molten state is attained on each contact surface.
The two surfaces are then brought together under controlled pressure for a specific cooling time and a homogeneous fusion joint is formed. The resultant joint is fully resistant to end loads and has comparable performance under pressure to the pipe itself.
Mcelroy produce the most advance and productive machines on the market. Depending on your need you should choose one of the different type of machines that we have and select the correct model depending on your pipe diameter.
