What are the common faults of pe pipe welding machine for poly pipe welder?

Apr 11, 2025

1. The heating plate does not heat or the temperature cannot be controlled
Reason: The temperature control in the heating plate is damaged.
Solution: Replace the thermostat.
2. The hydraulic cylinder does not work
Reason: The hydraulic oil level is lower than the normal line; the pressure regulating valve is adjusted too loose; the pressure relief valve is not closed.
Solution: Check the hydraulic oil level and add No. 46 hydraulic oil if necessary; adjust the pressure regulating valve; ensure that the pressure relief valve is closed.
3. The hydraulic station motor rotates but the hydraulic push rod does not move
Reason: Insufficient hydraulic oil in the hydraulic station; The connection between the hydraulic station and the frame is not well connected; The hydraulic sensor is damaged.
Solution: Check the hydraulic oil level and add hydraulic oil; Check and ensure that the hydraulic station is firmly connected to the frame; Check and replace the hydraulic sensor.
4. Welding interface quality problems
Reasons: Using a semi-automatic welder and not welding according to the specified welding parameters; Fully automatic welder with unqualified welding performance; Pipe performance does not match welding parameters; Using mismatched pipes for welding; Construction personnel working under humid and other bad weather conditions; Not using the specified hot melt clamps and roller brackets during welding; Welding machine operators have not received professional training.
Solutions: Strictly operate according to welding parameters; Use qualified welding equipment; Ensure that pipe performance matches welding parameters; Avoid working under bad weather conditions; Use specified hot melt clamps and roller brackets; Ensure that welding machine operators have received professional training.
5. Electric fusion connection quality problems
Reasons: When the electric fusion sleeve pipe fittings connect the two ends of the PE pipe, no special fixing clamp is used; The electric fusion sleeve pipe fittings and PE pipes are not from the same manufacturer; The oxide layer is not scraped off; The connector is moved during the fusion process and cooling time; The cooling process is not carried out in a natural state; The length of the pipe inserted into the electric fusion pipe fitting is insufficient.
Solution: Use a special fixture; ensure that the electric fusion sleeve pipe fittings match the PE pipe; scrape off the oxide layer; avoid moving the connector during the fusion process and cooling time; cool naturally; ensure that the pipe is inserted into the electric fusion pipe fittings for a sufficient length.
6. Overcurrent, smoke, spraying and even fire during welding
Reason: The pipe is exposed to the sun and the welding time is not properly adjusted; during constant pressure welding, the pipe is not inserted into the required position of the pipe fitting, or the pipe fitting is too loose; the welder is faulty and the output power is unstable.
Solution: Adjust the welding time according to the ambient temperature; observe the current change of the electric fusion welding machine during welding, and stop welding immediately if the current rises; check and calibrate the welder.
7. The hydraulic milling cutter does not turn
Reason: The hydraulic frame is clamped too tightly; the milling cutter motor is burned out.
Solution: Check the clamping of the hydraulic frame and loosen it appropriately; replace the milling cutter motor.
