The RAM 28 is an electro-hydraulic butt fusion machine with fusion capabilities ranging from 2” IPS to 8” DIPS pipe sizes. The machine is designed for in-field fusion of HDPE pipe and fittings and other plastic pipes.
The Ram 28 is provided with our unique and innovative programming and control system, Easy-Life. The Easy-Life system permits the operator to program and perform all of the fusion procedures quickly and easily. The program/control panel allows the operator to set the machine for heating temperature, facing pressure, heating time, soaking time, fusion pressure, fusion time, and cooling time.
The Easy-Life System incorporates a data-logging device, and can be connected to a PC or computer handbook to download all the fusion cycles information.

 

The machine body and clamping system can be easily removed from the 4-wheeled frame and chassis for in-ditch use, the Easy-Life program/control panel can also be removed from the chassis to allow the operator to control the fusion procedures out of the ditch.

 

  

The RAM 28 includes additional features designed for operator safety and increased production like our patented Quick-Click insert system that permits fast installation and removal of the pipe inserts. No “master inserts” are needed for smaller diameter pipe inserts to be installed. For operator safety, the machine-mounted electronic facer is equipped with a micro switch that prevents the facer from operating until it is properly placed between the pipe ends.
