McElroy unveils
modernised website
PIPE fusion equipment manufacturer McElroy has launched
its newly redesigned website. The entire fusion website has
been designed to be more inviting, informative and mobile-
friendly, and is easy to use, providing machine information
as well as fused piping system information to both frequent
and first-time users.
With a new menu structure, machines are grouped into two
distinct categories based on the type of industries served:
underground/construction – for equipment fusing traditional
thermoplastics like HDPE, MDPE, PA12 and Fusible PVC®;
and mechanical/HVAC/plumbing – for equipment fusing
polypropylene pipe including PP-R and PP-RCT.
All product lines include an overview of the features and
benefits. Individual product pages include all information
and collateral pertinent to the particular machine within
the product line, for example part numbers; photos, videos
and animations; machine specifications; literature; and
accessories and replacement parts.
A search feature has been added that allows visitors to
search for products, articles, accessories and more. An
optional tutorial to help visitors navigate the site is also offered.

Induction billet heating
AJAX Tocco Magnethermic has shipped a PowerZone billet
heating system to LC Manufacturing, located in Michigan,
USA.
The 1,000kW, 1.3 to 3.3kHz system is designed to heat
1.06" to 2.875" diameter x 6" to 20" long carbon steel billets
to forging temperatures. The system includes automatic
changing of frequency for differing billet sizes. A PLC with
touchscreen display featuring ForgeView Plus software is
also included. The unit is loaded by a vibratory bowl feeder.
LC Manufacturing chose the Ajax Tocco system based
on several factors, including prior experience with Ajax
Tocco equipment. The total package fitted the company’s
requirements and the PowerZone provides versatility, multi-
frequency and the ability to run a wide variety of parts.
Ajax Tocco Magnethermic designs and manufactures
induction heating and melting equipment for various industries
and applications. It also provides a range of services including
laboratory process development, preventive maintenance,
equipment repair and parts, coil repair facilities, and installation
services through its locations in North and South America,
