The connection of plastic installation elements is done hot. This method ensures a durable and very tight connection - the structure of the elements is combined into one whole. However, heating the pipes to the right temperature is not an easy task. In order 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 small ranking of the 3 best models on the market!

How do electrofusion welders work?
In order to connect two elements of the installation, the tubes must be heated evenly to a specific temperature. Only then do they begin to melt. Then they can be pressed together, obtaining a durable and strong connection. The melted elements will combine, creating a homogeneous material, which also means no leaks. However, precision is key. Too high a temperature can lead to the formation of a flash, reducing the lumen of the tube, and thus its throughput. On the other hand, too little heat used in the process will not allow for the formation of a high-quality connection.
The electrofusion welder has heating elements that operate on the principle of a resistor. The resistance they create converts electrical energy into heat. The entire process is subject to fairly simple laws of physics, which allows for simple control of the entire process - just set the appropriate current intensity to obtain the desired temperature. The entire mechanism is also very simple, and the welders are small. This makes them mobile.
What to look for when purchasing an electrofusion welder?
Are you considering buying an electrofusion welder? Don't know what to look for? We've got you covered.
- Size. Electrofusion welders are small devices. Their size depends mainly on the diameters of the pipes that are to be connected. So the first step you need to take is to determine what you want to weld.
- Electrical parameters. Each model has a cable to connect to the socket. The input voltage is therefore a 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 for welding of typical pipe diameters. Pay attention to whether the purchased set contains the necessary dimensions.
- High quality workmanship. Opt for well-known companies with a good reputation. Saving a few hundred zlotys on an unknown product can cost you much more: delays in work, additional travel and a quick search for a new electrofusion welder.
- Additional functions. One example is the ability to record operation parameters and a barcode scanner, allowing for quick reading of optimal welding parameters.
Choosing the ideal model depends largely on what kind of work you will be doing with your new welding machine.
The best electrofusion welders in the Onninen wholesaler
Choosing the best welder is not easy. However, our specialists have selected three models that are the most popular and have high user ratings. You will find their list below.
Roweld Rofuse 400 Turbo Electrofusion Welder
The most advanced ones are also intended for professional companies. electrofusion welders. Roweld Rofuse 400 Turbo is a real computer. It has a barcode reader. Thanks to this, you can read the parameters previously stuck on the tube with each weld. In addition, the device will save investment or operator data. After completing the work, it will save the protocol in PDF format (up to 2000 protocols in memory). The device also has temperature control systems. The effect? Up to 20% longer device life!
Roweld Rofuse Sani 160 Welder
Don't need such an advanced device? Try it out Roweld Rofuse Sani 160 welder . The model in question has a working range of 40 to 160 mm, but we also have larger devices available. A small, mobile welder, with the ability to set the right temperature, is certainly an excellent solution for plumbers.
Roweld P 125 polyfusion welder
For specialists who only occasionally weld water installations, we have the Roweld P 125 polyfusion welder . Very easy to use, and at the same time extremely durable and practically failure-free. Another advantage of this product is its low price compared to more advanced models. It is also a universal solution with a very wide working range - just buy the appropriate fittings.
Which electrofusion welder should I choose?
It is difficult to point out one, best electrofusion welder . Much depends on the experience of the operator, the method of use or the size of the company. That is why we have provided three most frequently chosen solutions. If none of the welders listed fully suit you, write to us. We will be happy to point you to solutions dedicated to your needs.
