Parent page: Butt Fusion

Fusion has created a range of machines capable of jointing pipes from 63mm to 630mm. Fusion’s Gator range offers full automation of all functions that contribute to a successful joint including:

  • Drag measurement
  • Trimming, incorporating Fusion’s unique feathering function
  • Prompts for ‘inspect pipe alignment’
  • Bead formation
  • Heater monitoring – the Gator interlock system will not let you make a joint with an incorrect heater temperature
  • Heat soak
    Heater plate removal time less than 2 seconds
  • Joining
  • Cooling
  • Data capture


On the 500 and 630mm machines, heater and trimmer loading is fully automatic eliminating manual lifting.

With Fusion’s automatic butt fusion machines, you - the operator - are in charge. You can specify that your new machine is preprogrammed
with one of thirteen different languages for screen prompts and data displays.

Languages currently available are: English, Russian, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Polish, Bulgarian, Danish, Finnish, Italian, Japanese and
Romanian. Should you require a language which is not listed please contact the Fusion Equipment hotline on: +44 1246 262330

Optional extras include liners, data printer, data transfer, audit software, electronic anti-theft system, and bar code scanner*.
