Thermoplastic
fittings
fabrication
RITMO SpA, an Italian manufacturer of
plastic welding equipment and tools for
thermoplastic pipes, offers a complete range
of workshop fittings fabrication machines for
the production of segmented fittings such
as elbows, wyes, crosses and tees, in the
range 40 to 1,600mm.
The fabrication of plastic fittings involves
the use of two different machines: a band
saw to cut the pipes into segments and a
fittings fabrication machine.
Sigma is a line of band saws for cutting
plastic pipes, designed and manufactured
by Ritmo to allow the creation of segments
of pipes up to 1,600mm in diameter, with
angles between -45° and +67.5°. The pipe
cutting procedure follows fixed patterns and
angles in order to create segments of pipe
to be welded in a matter of seconds.
Alfa is the company’s line of hydraulically
operated machines for the manufacture of
fittings, featuring special jaws, which allow
the user to lock and weld pipe segments at
fixed angles.
With the Alfa range it is possible to
manufacture elbows up to 1,600mm, and
wyes, tees and crosses up to 1,200mm.
Thanks to the CNC/Easy Life operating
system and the practical and intuitive
control panel, it is possible to perform the
welding cycle in a simple and repeatable
way, eliminating operator error.
