All-terrain welding machine for HDPE pipe RITMO’s Delta 355 All Terrain welds HDPE, PP pipes and fittings for the transportation of gas, water and other fluids under pressure from 125 to 355mm or from 4" IPS to 14" IPS. It is designed to work according to welding standard ISO 21307 High Pressure, and can be equipped with diesel low vibration and petrol engines. The engine, like an electrical generator, independently gives the necessary power supply to the machine during all its working and movement phases. Additional features include an on- board electrical milling cutter with integrated locking handle system, safety switch-off device, motor thermic protection and gas spring to easily lift/lower the facer; an on- board heating plate with protection frame and insulated protection bag; gas-spring for easy lifting/lowering of the heating plate; heating plate and facer locking system for safe transportation; two hydraulic Ritmo Delta 355 All Terrain and the machine also features the Ritmo-patented insert quick release Smartlock System.

the welding cycle, avoiding errors. The operator only has to confirm the work phases by pushing a button. The chassis is equipped with front steering wheels and rear traction, parking brake, and a machine frame design for forklift lifting. The removable machine body can work in tight spaces with a shavings collection tray. The dragging bar is designed to weld between the third and fourth clamp,

The machine has a removable control panel with data logging, memory for up to 4,000 welding reports and GPS traceability; a USB port provides welding report/data download and firmware upgrades. The hardware and software have been developed to interact with each other, sharing data during the entire workflow. Once the welding parameters are set up, the system ensures the repetition of
