Why McElroy Welding Machines?
Because consistency, safety, and quality matter on every job.
Reduced Jobsite Risks
Bottom-loading carriage
McElroy’s innovative Tritan® 560 and Talon™ 2000 welding machines eliminates the need to lift pipe overhead thanks to their bottom-loading carriages.
Remote operations
Tritan and large-diameter TracStar® machines offer wireless remote control for safe and precise machine placement.
Smarter pipe handling
Productivity-enhancing accessories save time and reduce operator fatigue. Tools like the PolyHorse® can store an entire workday's pipe - allowing one operator to load and align each stick without the use of extra equipment.
Ergonomic machine design
Thoughtful designs ensure every operator works smarter - not harder. Many McElroy machines offer heaters and facers mounted to the carriage to eliminate heavy, repeated lifting. Large diameter TracStar and MegaMc® machines include operator platforms for safer, more ergonomic operation.
Operator-Friendly Controls
Guided workflow
Integrated software, exclusive to McElroy’s TracStar iSeries, Acrobat™ iSeries, and Tritan machines guides the user through every step of the welding process. The FusionGuide™ Control System manages machine pressures, carriage, heater actions, shift sequence, and more to ensure standards compliance and a successful weld.
Options to fit the operator
iSeries machines offer three levels of machine interaction and software assistance to fit your jobsite requirements. Operators can choose from completely manual control to fully automatic welding.
Simple, straightforward fusion
McElroy's small-diameter hand-powered equipment is lightweight and powerful enough to perform accurate fusions all day long - on the ground or in the ditch.
A McElroy Machine For Every Application
With a complete line of machines for butt, saddle, and socket fusion from ½" CTS to 2000mm OD, McElroy delivers unmatched performance for every type of thermoplastic pipe – whether underground or inside the building.
Standard-Compliant
McElroy poly pipe welding equipment allows operators to adhere to all major pipe standards. Machine configurations are available to perform Low-, Medium-, and High-force welding.
Integrated Quality Assurance
Record the process
McElroy’s DataLogger® tablet records the welding process on nearly all McElroy machines.
Document the weld
Archive essential details related to the operation and jobsite.
Work efficiently
Guided workflows prompt operators. Optimized Cooling™ lessens time spent during the cycle.
Analyze every weld
Real-time analysis allows for monitoring of the joint integrity during the entire process.
Traceability for every joint
Vault™ ID Tags give every stakeholder instant access to a comprehensive report for every fusion joint in your piping system.
What Operators Are Saying
"The reduction in lifting and handling not only reduced the overall risk, but proved to be a significant saving in time, speeding up the project and allowing for more pipe to be welded during the day."
– Gareth Coley
"Implementing the use of the DataLogger and Vault platforms was highly valued by the mine, as they provided proof that every joint was properly fused, ensuring traceability and real-time monitoring directly from the job site."
– Santiago Molleapaza
"I have never been on a job site where we were working so fast, that we completed the initial job in record time. It really is amazing what these iSeries machines are capable of out in the field."
– Steven Hannah
