EASY LIFE Butt Welder Range

Automatic self-aligning hydraulic butt fusion welding machines, suitable for welding pressure pipes for water, gas and other fluids. EASY LIFE Butt Welders by Ritmo are world recognised for their ease of use and reliability. Built according to the International standards (UNI 10565, ISO 12176-1).

BASIC 355 EASY LIFE Butt Welder

Features

  • Machine body built with a supporting frame, four clamps and two hydraulic cylinders with fast non-drip coupling connections. It comes with the fast-locking-adapters system SMARTLocK patented by Ritmo.

  • A Teflon-coated (PTFE) heating plate with a built-in independent thermometer to check the working temperature.

  • An extractable electric milling cutter to face the heads of the pipes and/or fittings. It includes a safety micro-switch and a thermal circuit breaker.

  • An electro-hydraulic gearcase protected from crashes and atmospheric corrosion by a plastic box. The electronic system guarantees the continuous repeat of the welding cycles and automatic control of the preset parameters, therefore the operator needs only to validate the welding phases.

  • Easy Life is Wi-Fi ready and works together with the SET & GO PRO app. The user-friendly graphic display allows quick setting of desired parameters. The EASY LIFE system can store up to 4000 welding cycles and sum them up into a PDF file. This report can be transferred to a PC/laptop through a USB port and data-management software.
