Radius Star Piping supplies WELTECH electrofusion welding machines manufactured by Elbor Makine, a specialist
industrial manufacturer based in Turkey with an established international track record in HDPE pipe welding
equipment. We stock and supply two models, the EFW 630 and the EFW 1200, from our warehouse in Al Qusais Industrial
Area, Dubai, for delivery to contractors and project owners across the UAE, Oman and Saudi Arabia.
Both machines are computer-controlled electrofusion controllers that automatically manage the fusion cycle for PE, PP
and PVDF pipe and fitting connections from 20mm up to 1200mm in diameter. They read fusion parameters directly from
the barcode or datamatrix on the fitting, eliminating manual parameter entry errors and producing a documented
welding record for every joint completed.
Talk to an Expert.
An electrofusion welding machine is a computer-controlled power supply unit that delivers a precisely regulated
electrical current to the resistance wire coil embedded inside an electrofusion fitting. The current heats the coil,
which melts the inner bore of the fitting and the outer surface of the HDPE pipe simultaneously. As the molten
polyethylene interfaces cool under controlled conditions, they fuse at a molecular level to produce a permanent,
leak-proof joint that achieves the full pressure rating of the pipe wall.
The machine does not generate heat itself. Its function is to deliver the correct voltage, current and fusion time to
the fitting according to the fitting manufacturer’s specification, read from the barcode on the fitting, and to
record the weld parameters for quality traceability.
Electrofusion welding machines are used in every situation where butt fusion welding is not practical, including
confined spaces, service connections, branch connections on live mains, pipeline repairs, valve station
installations and any connection point where a butt fusion machine cannot be correctly positioned or operated.

The pipe end is cut square and the outer surface is scraped in the zone that will sit inside the fitting socket.
Scraping removes the oxidised polyethylene layer to expose virgin material for fusion. This step is critical and is
the most common point of failure on poorly made joints.
Both the scraped pipe surface and the fitting socket interior are cleaned with isopropyl alcohol and allowed to dry
completely before assembly. Any contamination at the interface prevents correct fusion.
The pipe is inserted into the fitting socket to the correct insertion depth, marked on the pipe before assembly.
Clamps hold the assembly in fixed alignment throughout fusion and cooling.
The machine operator connects the controller leads to the fitting terminals and scans the barcode or datamatrix
printed on the fitting body. The machine reads the fitting identification and automatically retrieves the correct
fusion voltage, current and fusion time for that specific fitting size, material and manufacturer.
The machine runs the fusion cycle automatically. The LCD display shows real-time parameters throughout the cycle. The
built-in monitoring system detects abnormal conditions, such as incorrect resistance or open circuit, and terminates
the cycle immediately if a fault is detected. Fusion indicators on the fitting body confirm the cycle has completed
correctly.
The joint must remain clamped and undisturbed for the full cooling period. On completion, the machine stores a
complete welding record, including fitting ID, date, time, fusion voltage, current, duration and any fault codes, in
its internal memory. This record can be downloaded for project quality documentation.
Radius Star Piping supplies two WELTECH electrofusion welding machines by Elbor Makine. Both models share the same
core technology platform and operating principles. The difference is the maximum pipe diameter and current output
capacity each machine can handle.
The EFW 630 is the standard model for distribution network work, service connection projects and repair applications
where pipe diameters up to 630mm are involved. It is the correct choice for the majority of water distribution, gas
service and irrigation connection work across the UAE, Oman and Saudi Arabia.
The EFW 1200 handles the full diameter range up to 1200mm, covering large-diameter transmission main connections,
trunk sewer tie-ins and industrial process pipe installations where large electrofusion fittings are specified. Its
higher current output capacity of 0 to 120 Amperes supports the larger resistance wire coils in big-diameter
electrofusion fittings.

An electrofusion welding machine is a device that joins HDPE pipes and fittings by
supplying electrical current to the heating coil inside an electrofusion fitting. The heat melts the fitting and
pipe together to create a strong, permanent, and leak-resistant joint.
The main difference is the pipe size they support. The EFW 630 welds pipes from 20 mm to
630 mm, while the EFW 1200 handles larger pipes up to 1200 mm. Both machines use automatic barcode scanning, store
welding records, and support PE, PP, and PVDF materials.
Electrofusion welding machines weld HDPE (PE80 and PE100), MDPE, PP (Polypropylene), and
PVDF pipes and fittings. The machine reads the fitting barcode and automatically applies the correct welding
settings for the selected material.
Yes. WELTECH electrofusion welding machines are compatible with electrofusion fittings
from all major manufacturers. The barcode scanner automatically reads the fitting data and applies the correct
welding parameters. Manual parameter entry is also available if needed.
Both the EFW 630 and EFW 1200 store 4,000 or more welding records in their internal
memory. Each record includes the fitting ID, welding parameters, date, time, and any fault information. Records can
also be exported through USB for project documentation.
Yes. These machines support welding procedures used for gas distribution projects and
provide complete welding records for quality documentation. This makes them suitable for projects that require weld
traceability and inspection records.
Yes. WELTECH electrofusion welding machines operate in temperatures from -15°C to +60°C,
making them suitable for outdoor projects across the UAE, Oman, and Saudi Arabia. During rainy or windy conditions,
use a protective enclosure to maintain welding quality.
Yes. Radius Star Piping offers electrofusion welding machine rental for short-term
projects across the UAE, Oman, and Saudi Arabia. Rental machines are maintained, tested, and ready for site use.
Contact our team to check availability and rental options.
Yes. We provide operator training to help your team use the machine safely and correctly.
Training covers machine setup, barcode scanning, pipe preparation, welding procedures, and downloading welding
records for project documentation.
A barcode-enabled machine automatically reads the fitting data and sets the correct
welding parameters. This reduces manual input, improves welding accuracy, and helps create consistent joints while
reducing the risk of operator error.
