Machine Description
The FUSIONMASTER® HF225 is designed for
“single pressure – low pressure” butt welding
of pipe from 225mm down to 63mm. It is
ideally suited to joining PE pipe to pipe in the
field.
The HF225 machine strength is derived from
the hard chromed, high strength steel guide
shafts, rigid sub frame and high strength cast
aluminium alloy clamps. Mild steel machine
components are zinc plated for maximum corrosion protection.
Two solid rubber wheels and a basic machine weight of only 40kg allows easy mobility. The two
fixed and two moving clamps have three segments to help reduce alignment problems caused by
excessive pipe ovality.

Hydraulic System
The HF225 has a hand operated single acting hydraulic pump that applies pressure to a single
hydraulic cylinder that transports the moving clamp carriage. Carriage motion direction is
changed by a directional control valve located on the pump body. A needle valve is fitted
between the pump and ram to lock off pressure during the fusion and cooling cycles. A direct
pressure gauge indicates heating and joining pressures.
