The WIDOS 24000 is developed for the heating element butt welding of PE- and PP-pipes and fittings. It is a very solid and extremely rigid machine. Thus, you can work even under difficult conditions on the construction site and in the trench. The hydraulic unit moves the right double clamping device and controls the joining force precisely. It has a pressure backup for the support of the welding force during the cooling period and 2 quick-action couplings and an analogue pressure gauge for the exact indication of the pressure. Optionally also available as enclosed aggregate with junction box. The hydraulic unit and its operation are integrated in the basic machine. The planer has a chain drive in a closed aluminum housing and an automatic external chip removal. The planer blades are sanded on both sides and can therefore be used repeatedly. The anti-stick coated heating element has an electronic temperature control and a connecting cable with CEKON plug. A puller device at the basic frame prevents a sticking of the heating element to the heated pipe ends and thus enables simple handling. For the storage of the heating element and the planer a heat protected box is available. The WIDOS welding machines can easily be retrofitted with the WIDOS SPA weld log recording devices and are also available in a CNC controlled version.
