 500

McElroy’s TracStar 500 will butt fuse pipe sizes from 6” IPS to 20” OD (180mm to 500mm). It was the first fusion machine in the world to be mounted on a track system making it mobile in almost any terrain. Considered the Flagship of McElroy machines, its success spawned the entire TracStar line of fusion equipment.

It incorporates the interchangeable 500 carriage with McElroy’s patented Centerline Guidance System. Two fixed and movable clamping jaws result in precision pipe alignment for higher quality fusion joints. The PitBull 500 is used for special applications where the tracked vehicle is not needed. These machines can fabricate segmented ells with optional mitered inserts and are DataLogger® compatible.

The Automated TracStar 500 is also available with automated control and monitoring over the heat, soak, fuse, and cool cycles. This automated system guides the operator through a step by step procedure for fusing pipe. It has a built-in data logging feature that keeps a record of each fusion joint, which allows you to verify joint integrity.
