Friatec

00:03 in the 70s mainly a PE way use PE pipes
00:07 and fittings were used for the gas
00:08 industry but in the meantime we have a
00:11 lot of more applications running in the
00:13 field like pressure applications for
00:16 water for sewage irrigation projects are
00:19 coming a lot and more and more
00:21 industrial projects as well to do the
00:23 high resistance from PE against
00:25 chemicals assets and so on at the end if
00:28 you know the step how to use it's really
00:31 an easy job because we have all the
00:33 equipment with us you have a kind of
00:35 scraper tool you have wipes to clean the
00:37 scraped area you have markings to bring
00:39 the pipe close together and of course
00:42 you have now really good welders which
00:44 carry out the welding automatically
00:47 doing by barcode reading there's no
00:49 influence of the welder for the for the
00:52 joint at the end the main benefits of
00:54 the free Allen electro fusion system is
00:56 the expose the uncovered heating coils
00:59 the laying of the cords which is going
01:02 beyond the standard in the standard they
01:03 are just minimum parameter given
01:05 phreatic is going with the fuel and
01:07 safety feelings beyond the standard we
01:09 have a wide cold zone as well to cool
01:12 down the molded material after welding
01:14 and of course everything is equipped
01:17 with a barcode here yeah this makes it
01:19 easier to carry out the welding without
01:21 any mistakes phreatic working since from
01:24 the beginning with exposed heating horns
01:26 because we want to directly in touch
01:27 with the pipe we have to melt the pipe
01:29 together we don't melt our own material
01:32 in between so we are quite fast in
01:34 preaching the gap in between the pipe
01:36 and the fitting to create a melt
01:38 pressure very very fast and of course
01:41 therefore we are closing the gaps which
01:43 coming up from misalignment on the pipe
01:45 from oval ization in the pipe and it's
01:48 exactly the big benefit of the phreatic
01:49 uncovered heating coils the second
01:52 benefit it's also very important
01:54 especially due to the high UV radiation
01:57 in Australia we cannot build up any
01:60 oxidation layer in between like on the
02:02 pipe so it's no possibility to create an
02:05 oxidation layer inside the fitting like
02:08 most of our competitors do the fitting
02:10 is produced in two step first where the
02:13 injection molding playing here and in
02:15 the second step we embed
02:16 while with the process where we do not
02:18 remove any material we just press the
02:21 wire in so that the wires are in 2/3 of
02:24 the diameter embedded in the fitting
02:26 there's no chance to damage the wire
02:28 during the installation process that's
02:30 the reason we're free attack allows for
02:32 example for the bigger size cups of cup
02:34 loss with a heavy way to install them
02:36 also by using a tool like a hammer
02:38 something like else we are not afraid
02:40 using the wire with that installation
02:43 process of course all the range is
02:45 tested according national international
02:48 standard for example iso standard or
02:50 here locally in the australian market is
02:52 the AAS and set 41 to 9 standard which
02:56 we have to follow but to be honest all
02:58 the standards are given just minimum
02:60 requirements and phreatic go beyond the
03:03 standard to help the customer a little
03:04 bit with the wider fusion zone with the
03:06 huge cold zone in the fitting to use the
03:09 coupler on field as well without any
03:11 problems
03:13 and of course we are take has all the
03:16 important approvals we attack as company
03:18 as well as the product has all approved
03:21 for the Australian market available also
03:23 for the bigger sizes all phreatic
03:25 couplers are equipped with the anchor
03:27 but with the exposed heating coils and
03:29 as you can see here we under ectly
03:31 contact after sampling the pipe with a
03:33 pipe surface to ensure the proper
03:36 homogeneous joint but also very
03:38 important for the bigger size coupler is
03:40 the very long cold zone to work with the
03:43 shrink we were at PI band as well with
03:45 the embedded situation where we have to
03:47 cut out a piece of pipe and to bring in
03:49 a new one the guys inside are not able
03:52 to bring them together in 100% and if
03:54 this gap between the PI bond is located
03:56 in the center of the cold zone doesn't
03:59 matter
03:59 no bad influence of the welding all
04:02 couplers starting from the diameter 400
04:05 are equipped with additional yellow bar
04:07 code so called the preheat barcode with
04:10 our uncovered heating codes we are able
04:12 wire a dead barcode to heat up the part
04:14 first closing the gap between the pipe
04:17 and the feeding and then with a standard
04:20 white barcode we carry out the fusion
04:22 process therefore very helpful is the
04:25 outer reinforcement there's another
04:27 winding around the coupler which
04:29 helped us to stabilize the coupler
04:31 during the welding process to avoid
04:33 expanding of the coupler during the
04:36 welding important this is the pipe
04:38 inside the coupler starts to a ponding
04:40 throughout the coupler
04:41 but the coupler should be stable during
04:44 the welding process that's exactly what
04:46 we insure and phreatic is the only one
04:48 sitting who can handle it without an
04:50 external reinforcement we can do that
04:53 with our built in reinforcement easily

00:03 besides the coupler a full range of
00:06 readings it's also important to have the
00:07 right tools the end of the product makes
00:10 no sense to over 900 mini coupler to the
00:13 customer and do not have the right
00:15 fusion box to handle that long fusion
00:17 time and that's the reason why free eye
00:18 tech is a one-stop shop we offer you the
00:21 completely tools to carry out a proper
00:23 joint without any issues that means we
00:25 have a dedicated range here of scraper
00:27 tools available starting from the
00:29 diameter and 20 millimeter up to 1.2
00:32 meter for every application there's a
00:34 scraper tool they're the same for the
00:36 boxes these tiny box can handle couplers
00:39 from 20 up to 900 mil without
00:42 interruption diffusion to to cool down
00:44 or something like that
00:46 due to the converter technology here and
00:48 the freedom at prime or basic we have
00:50 active cooling system can cover a long
00:53 fusion time without any issues
00:55 especially under the high temperatures
00:57 in the summertime in Australia is a big
01:00 advantage for the customer there's no
01:02 waiting time for cool down the machine
01:04 because the machine is equipped with
01:06 active cooling system all the welders
01:08 are equipped with a 10m block that means
01:11 we can handle easily all the generators
01:14 outside in the field and of course it's
01:16 very light the machine here just with a
01:18 weight of 12 kilo can be handled it from
01:21 side to side very very easily
01:23 let's also pick advantage for the
01:25 customer the machine do not have any
01:27 transformer inside is a pure electronic
01:29 inverter technology and therefore it's
01:32 very very light the machine and powerful
01:34 just when explained I was grabbed a tool
01:37 FWS G 2 2 5 which works for all
01:40 diameters starting from the diameter 75
01:43 up to 2 to 5 for all the pipes and as
01:46 they are 17 STR 21 and sta 11 as well
01:50 the scraper tool first we have to go for
01:54 the insertion depth of the pipe we have
01:56 a 180 ml pipe here we have different
01:59 marks here on the rod where we can
02:01 identify the 180 ml easily bring the
02:04 plate in the right position and then we
02:07 can slide the machine over the pipe
02:10 easily
02:26 and the result after scraping is all the
02:29 same for the phreatic square bar tools
02:30 we have endless swath which guarantee is
02:33 a proper shape shaving around around the
02:36 pipe of around a complete pipe and
02:38 that's a let me say most important step
02:42 for carry out the electro fusion showing
02:44 the proper removal of the oxidation
02:46 layer

00:03 I just want to give you briefly overview
00:05 about the lack of fusion process what's
00:07 going on - and the electrical fusion
00:09 what is electro fusion and that's just
00:11 briefly explained here with the two
00:13 pipes and a good freelance safety
00:15 fittings at the end our aim is to create
00:18 a home machine and joint without any
00:20 rubber ceilings without any gaskets in
00:23 between a pure homogeneous material
00:26 joined together from the pipe and the
00:28 fitting at the end we have poly pipes
00:31 available for pressure and pressure less
00:32 applications mainly our fittings used
00:35 for pressure application for gas water
00:37 and sewage we have fear fittings
00:39 available equipped with a bar code after
00:42 assembling the fitting to the pipes we
00:44 read in the bar code with the fusion box
00:46 we carry out the fusion parameters
00:48 waiting for cooling time and then the
00:50 joint is finished create a kiss to world
00:52 biggest manufacturer of electro fusion
00:55 join our guests for his customer the
00:57 best contact to carry out a safe and
00:59 proper jointing

00:02 just want to explain you briefly the
00:05 most important installation steps to
00:06 carry out the proper joint of course we
00:09 have to take care for the pipe cut that
00:11 the pipe cut isn't a right 90-degree
00:14 angle to the pipe axis as we have here
00:18 then we have to sign the half length of
00:21 the coupler if you use a coupler like
00:23 that the standard coupler it's a half
00:26 length of the coupler to sign a bit more
00:28 to see afterwards that it's scraped
00:35 that's it
00:37 second side as well here we are
00:41 and now is the most important step to
00:44 scrape the pipe over the whole length of
00:46 the pipe surface of course we can do
00:49 that in the traditional old way using a
00:52 hand scraper carrying out that process
00:54 but it's not let me say it's it's a
00:57 highly risk to do that especially
00:59 underneath where the joiners cannot look
01:02 through there's a high risk that you do
01:04 not remove the completely surface in a
01:07 proper way and that can create a leakage
01:10 easily and that's the reason we're free
01:11 okay there's a dedicated range of
01:13 scraper tools like this steam machine
01:16 here we have here a diameter related
01:20 scraper tool available of course it's a
01:22 machine these tools are available from
01:25 the diameter 63 up to three one part
01:27 three one five millimeter and it's quite
01:30 easy you can slide it here over to to
01:34 use it for the pipe ends as well as for
01:37 saddled connection directly in the
01:39 center of the pipe you just clip it here
01:43 onto the onto the pipe and slide it
01:46 around until you reach your mark that's
01:55 it you remove the machine and at the end
01:60 to resolve this endless Wharf like that
02:03 and so you're sure that are scraping to
02:05 place all around the pipe which is very
02:08 very important of course the second pipe
02:11 must be prepared in the same way
02:14 here we are so and that's the whole
02:24 scraping process at the end next step is
02:29 to set the mark exactly to the halfling
02:33 of the cobbler this mark is very very
02:35 important to ensure that the bride has a
02:38 right insertion cleaning pipe and
02:49 fittings by using wipes which already
02:54 covered with I so broke
02:56 which remove the dirt sand and dust from
02:59 the pipe and the fitting and just clean
03:08 this great area that's it wait until the
03:17 cleaners evaporate very important before
03:21 you start assembling pipe and fitting
03:23 together slide pipe and fitting together
03:28 until you reach the marks here and
03:31 that's it make sure that the pipe and
03:35 the fitting do not have any misalignment
03:37 like like that yeah straighten up a
03:40 little bit to avoid some some stress in
03:43 the connection during the welding
03:44 process so all three of my boxes are
03:51 equipped with four millimeter connectors
03:55 here but I also adapt available up to
03:58 four point seven millimeters to handle
04:00 competitor fittings so we connect in
04:03 which direction doesn't matter directly
04:06 to the fitting we have the possibility
04:09 here for barcode reader and with this
04:14 barcode reader here we bring all the
04:18 necessary information into the Box the
04:21 barcode is related to ISO standard which
04:24 makes sure
04:25 that our box can handle competitive
04:28 fittings as the other way around our
04:30 fitting can be welded with competitor
04:32 boxes who are able or who are equipped
04:35 with a barcode reader first of all we
04:37 have to switch on the machine now we
04:39 have to read in the barcode sometimes a
04:42 bit tricky you need some help sometimes
04:44 maybe but the easy thing is hold it like
04:47 a pen like you would like to make a
04:48 drawing over the whole barcode and then
04:51 the machine will read the barcode
04:53 immediately and if you hear the sound
04:56 the barcode is in the barcode parameter
04:58 is showing it's popping up in the
05:01 display exactly explain us which coupler
05:05 is waiting for the welding and the only
05:07 thing what we have to do now is push in
05:10 the start bottom here two times in the
05:15 last third of the welding the both
05:17 welding indicators popping up showing if
05:20 there's some energy running around which
05:23 is a good sign directly after the fusion
05:32 is finished we can remove the connectors
05:34 we can remove the box and can go ahead
05:37 for the Negin second joint next joint
05:40 write down the parameter welding time
05:44 forty one second and the time to cool
05:50 down we have for this small fitting
05:53 sixty three mil a cooling down of seven
05:55 seven minutes which we have to wait
05:57 before we go ahead with they are moving
05:60 the pipe something like that this forty
06:03 one second what we get is according the
06:05 ambient temperature with our barcode
06:08 technology including the temperature
06:10 compensation the machine said always the
06:14 right welding time due to the ambient
06:16 temperature that means with easy words
06:18 is it cooler than twenty degree ambient
06:21 temperature we have a bit additional
06:23 time if it's warmer than twenty degree
06:25 ambient temperature we have a less
06:28 welding time and that will be calculated
06:31 automatically by the barcode including
06:33 the machine and so we are sure that we
06:35 have for the right ambient temperature
06:37 the right welding time which is very
06:39 very important especially in summertime
