Overview
2 - 5
Facer
The facer is a rotating planer-block design. The blade holders
each contain blades and are chain driven (enclosed in lubricant)
by a hydraulic motor. There are facer stops that allow for a
specific amount of faced pipe to protrude from the jaws.
When needed for off-vehicle modular operation, the facer can be
removed from its carriage skid-mounted pivot arm.
NOTICE:
Never extend the blade beyond the inner or outer
circumference of the facer.

Heater
Heater is not explosion proof. Operation of
heater in an explosive atmosphere without
necessary safety precautions will result in serious
injury or death.
If operating in an explosive atmosphere, heater should be brought
up to temperature in a safe environment, then unplugged before
entering the explosive atmosphere for fusion.
The heater body is not coated. Coated butt fusion heater plates
are available for all butt fusion applications.
NOTICE:
The heater should never be used without butt fusion
heater plates installed.
To prevent a build-up of plastic pipe residue from accumulating
on the heater plates (loss of surface temperature and pipe sticking
may result), the heater plates should be cleaned with a non-
synthetic cloth before every fusion joint.

heater mounted to machine carriage. Throughout
operation instructions, any deviation in operation for this
style heater will be noted as Self Retracting Heater.
During the Automatic fusion process the heater will be
removed from the carriage automatically.
