Hydraulic butt-fusion welding machines are core equipment for joining thermoplastic pipes. Leveraging precise control from hydraulic drives and hot-melt fusion technology, they have become indispensable key equipment in infrastructure construction and industrial applications. Founded in 2011, Zhejiang Chenghong Machinery Co., Ltd. is a private enterprise integrating design, manufacturing, and sales. With nearly 10 years of experience in butt welding machine sales and professional manufacturing capabilities in plastic welding equipment, the company has accumulated a broad customer base in this field. Its product range covers hydraulic butt-fusion welding machines, manual butt welding machines, automatic butt welding machines, and other categories, providing both standardized and customized solutions for the industry.
Core Definition and Working Principle
A hydraulic butt-fusion welding machine is specialized equipment that achieves hot-melt joining of plastic pipes and fittings through stable pressure provided by a hydraulic system combined with heating from an electric heating plate. Its core workflow consists of four steps:
Heating stage: The electric heating plate heats the connecting end faces of pipes and fittings to a molten state, with temperatures adjustable between 200℃-280℃ depending on materials such as PE and PP.
Butt-joint stage: After heating is completed, the electric heating plate is quickly removed, and the two molten end faces are precisely bonded.
Pressurization stage: A controllable pressure of 0-160bar is applied via the hydraulic device to ensure full fusion of the connecting surfaces.
Cooling stage: The pressure is maintained until the joint cools naturally, forming a seamless and homogeneous welded joint.
Core Structure and Technical Parameters
Main Structural Components
The core of the equipment consists of four major components to ensure stability and precision during the welding process:
Hydraulic operation platform: Provides stable power output and controls pressure adjustment and butt-joint movements.
Specialized fixtures: Fix the position of pipes to ensure parallelism and coaxiality of the butt-joint end faces.
Heating plate: Adopts anti-adhesive materials such as Teflon coating, with a surface temperature difference controlled within ±5℃.
Milling cutter: Mills the end faces of pipes to remove impurities and uneven parts, ensuring fusion quality.
Key Technical Parameters
Welding range: Covers various specifications from 63mm to 1200mm to meet different engineering needs.
Temperature control: Temperature control range of 0-300℃ with a temperature error of ≤±5℃ to ensure consistency in material melting.
