Butt Fusion Machine

The Atlanta Butt Fusion Machine involves the simultaneous heating of the ends of two pipe or fitting components until a molten state is attained on each contact surface, making it easier to join both ends. The two surfaces are then brought together under controlled pressure for a specific cooling time to create a homogeneous fusion joint. The joint is fully resistant to end loads and has comparable performance under pressure to the pipe itself. An electrical heater plate is used to raise the temperature of the pipe ends to the required fusion temperature.
