Plastic installation elements are joined hot. This method ensures a durable and very tight connection - the structure of the elements combines into one whole. However, heating the tubes to the appropriate temperature is not an easy task. To distribute the heat evenly, it is necessary to use professional electrofusion welders . How do they work? And which model will be the best? Check out our little ranking of the 3 best models on the market!

How do electrofusion welders work?
In order to connect two elements of the installation, the pipes must be evenly heated to a specific temperature. Only then do they start to melt. Then you can press them together, obtaining a durable and strong connection. The melted elements will join together, creating a homogeneous material, which also means there will be no leaks. However, the key is precision. Too high a temperature may lead to the formation of a flash, reducing the tube's lumen and, therefore, its throughput. However, too little heat used in the process will not allow a high-quality connection to be created.
The electrofusion welder has heating elements operating on the resistor principle. The resistance they provide converts electrical energy into heat. The entire process is subject to quite simple laws of physics, which allows for simple control of the entire process - just set the appropriate current to obtain the desired temperature. The entire mechanism is also very simple and the welders are small. This makes them mobile.
What should you pay attention to when buying an electrofusion welder?
Are you considering purchasing an electrofusion welder? Don't know what to look out for? We give you a hint.
- Sizes. Electrofusion welders are small devices. Their size depends mainly on the diameters of the pipes to be connected. So the first step you need to take is to figure out what you want to weld.
- Electrical parameters. Each model has a cable to connect to the socket. The input voltage is therefore standard 230 V. However, the output voltage is usually from 8 to 48 V. Also pay attention to the power of the device - it must be sufficient to heat the plastic.
- Electrofusion fittings. Their standardized dimensions allow welding of typical pipe diameters. Check whether the purchased set includes the necessary dimensions.
- High quality. Choose well-known companies with a good reputation. Saving several hundred zlotys on an unknown product may cost you much more: delays at work, additional travel and a quick search for a new electrofusion welder.
- Additional features. One example is the ability to record operation parameters and a barcode scanner that allows for quick reading of optimal welding parameters.
Choosing the perfect model depends heavily on what work you will be doing with your new welder.
The best electrofusion welders in the Onninen wholesaler
Choosing the best welding machine is not easy. However, our specialists have selected three models that are the most popular and receive high user ratings. You will find their list below.
