OverviewThe SWT-V series is a hydraulic butt fusion welding machine line for large-diameter thermoplastic pipes (HDPE, PE, PP, PVDF). Designed for mining, potable water, wastewater, industrial pipelines and other heavy-duty installations, the machines deliver stable welding pressure, precise temperature control and serviceable hydraulic power units.
Key features- Circuit breaker combined with residual current protection for electrical safety.
- STUCCHI quick couplings for secure hydraulic connections.
- DuPont Teflon-coated heating plate to minimize sticking and extend plate life; temperature uniformity typically ±5°C.
- Accumulator to maintain stable welding pressure throughout the procedure.
- Fanless, high-power motor and cartridge-valve hydraulic station capable of operation up to ~120 bar.
- Compact, rigid frame to reduce deformation and prevent oil leaks under heavy use.
Applications- Installation and repair of HDPE, PE, PP and PVDF pipelines in potable water networks, wastewater and drainage systems.
- Mining pipelines including slurry and gas drainage, industrial pipeline networks and geothermal heating/cooling systems.
- Agricultural irrigation systems and municipal engineering requiring durable thermoplastic joints.
Accessories & options- Data logger (e.g. PEWELDBANK) for weld parameter recording and traceability.
- Reducer inserts for a range of diameters, end supports, roller supports, cranes and handling fixtures.
- Packaging and shipping options for single units or bulk deliveries.
