After the mobile photovoltaic plant that powers the electric Tracto Grundodrill drilling rig, ARS INDUSTRIAL closed the operational chain of water-sewer crossings with a complete UZINEX welding package: two butt-welding machines for PE/PP/PB pipes (HW500 and HW630), an electrofusion unit with a built-in recorder (WP100K) and a separate digital recorder (WPD20) for ISO/DVS traceability on every weld.
In the previous case with UZINEX, ARS INDUSTRIAL bought a mobile photovoltaic plant to power the 100% electric Tracto Grundodrill horizontal drilling rig — the drilling part of the crossing. Logically, after horizontal drilling under a road and pulling the PE pipe through the crossing, the pipe ends must be welded correctly and tightly, with documented traceability for audit.
ARS evaluated two options: outsourcing the butt welds to third parties (with significant monthly costs over crossing campaigns) or internalizing the capability by buying a package of its own equipment. It chose internalization — and asked for a package that covers the entire range of diameters found on water-sewer sites, not a single "basic" machine.
The final configuration: two mechanical butt-welding machines covering the 200-630 mm diameter range with overlap (HW500 + HW630), an electrofusion unit that extends the range to 25-1000 mm for fittings (WP100K), and a separate digital recorder (WPD20) that records every welding cycle in line with ISO and DVS for a complete audit.
The 4 machines work together as a system: the HW units for mechanical butt welding, the WP100K for electrofusion fittings, the WPD20 for documentation. No machine is redundant — each solves a layer of the process.
The largest machine in the package. A 9.6 kW heating plate with electronic control, a 1.5 kW trimmer for precise facing of the ends, a hydraulic station for uniform pressure. For large-diameter water-sewer trunk pipes.
Covers the range of medium diameters found on the network branches. The same 3 modular components as the HW630 — carriage, hydraulic, trimmer — for versatile use in open sites or directly in excavations.
An automatic machine for PE/PP electrofusion fittings with a working range from 25 mm to 1000 mm. Three fully automatic operations: connection, barcode scanning to set the parameters, weld start. Automatic compensation of the output energy depending on the ambient temperature.
A digital recorder that monitors in real time and fully stores the welding cycle, in line with ISO and DVS. It guides the operator through all the stages, ensuring complete traceability. The operator prints the report on site or exports it via USB to a PC for internal audit.
Three animated diagrams explain the PE butt-welding process (4 phases), how the two UZINEX contracts with ARS link into a complete operational chain (mobile PV + Grundodrill + welding + traceability), and how the data flow from the WP100K / WPD20 produces audit-ready reports.
Four automated phases: facing the ends with a trimmer, heating with the 9.6 kW plate, controlled hydraulic pressure and a solid fusion. ISO and DVS standards respected end to end.
The two UZINEX contracts with ARS work together: the mobile PV plant powers the electric Grundodrill that makes the crossing, and the HW630 / HW500 welds the PE pipe after it's pulled through. Full traceability on WP100K + WPD20.
Every welding cycle is stored: 500 cycles in the WP100K + 240 in the WPD20. USB export or print on site. ISO/DVS reports ready for audit, with no manual reconstruction.
After the previous UZINEX contract for the mobile photovoltaic plant that powers the electric Tracto Grundodrill drilling rig, ARS INDUSTRIAL needed to close the operational chain: after horizontal drilling under a road and pulling the PE pipe through the crossing, the pipe ends must be welded correctly, with complete traceability, in line with ISO and DVS.
We configured a package that covers the entire range of diameters found on water-sewer sites: the HW500 for medium pipes (Ø 200-500 mm), the HW630 for large pipes (Ø 315-630 mm), the WP100K for electrofusion of fittings (Ø 25-1000 mm) and the WPD20 as a digital recorder for ISO/DVS traceability on all the welds made.
The HW500 (389 kg) and HW630 (560 kg) machines are delivered in 3 separate components each — carriage, hydraulic station, trimmer — packed compactly for easy transport and on-site installation. Reducers included to adapt to all the diameters in the ARS operating range.
As per the UZINEX package, transport and commissioning were free. At the ARS premises we carried out operator training on all 4 machines, focused on the ISO/DVS fusion procedure and the correct use of the WPD20 recorder for auditing.
The standard UZINEX service package: 60-month warranty, physical intervention within 48 hours anywhere in the country, lifetime software updates, 24/7 phone support and video assistance for fast troubleshooting. For ARS, that means operational continuity over long crossing campaigns.
For a client that works in continuous crossing campaigns, downtime on a welding machine means sections of PE pipe left unclosed on site — with a direct impact on planning and on the relationship with the project beneficiary.
Replicate the ARS logic for your case. Enter the average price per outsourced weld in your area, the typical volume per campaign and the cost of your own equipment. See in how many months it pays for itself through the pure savings of avoided outsourcing.
Indicative calculation on direct outsourcing only. It doesn't include quality control, ISO/DVS traceability, logistical delays or the defect risk on a weld made by a third party with no digital report.
In the previous contract, UZINEX delivered ARS Romania's first mobile photovoltaic plant (24 kW of panels / 52 kWh storage / 24 kW inverter, worth €52,000 + VAT via public tender) that powers the electric Tracto Grundodrill horizontal drilling rig. The combination of the two contracts covers the entire water-sewer crossing chain: drilling with 100% solar power, pulling the pipe, welding the ends with ISO/DVS traceability.
The package covers the entire range found on water-sewer sites: the HW500 works between Ø 200-500 mm, the HW630 between Ø 315-630 mm, and the WP100K for electrofusion fittings from Ø 25 to Ø 1000 mm. The HW500/HW630 overlap between 315-500 mm allows choosing the right machine depending on the transport weight on site.
Polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP) and polybutene (PB) — the standard thermoplastics for water, gas and industrial-infrastructure networks. The machines ensure tight, durable joints, compliant with the international ISO and DVS procedures for thermoplastic fusion.
Each welding cycle is stored automatically: pressure, temperature, duration parameters, operator identification, pipe identification via barcode scanning. The WP100K stores 500 cycles internally (plus USB export as Excel), the WPD20 stores 240 cycles. On site, the operator can print the report directly or export it digitally to a PC for the audit archive. All data is in ISO/DVS-compliant format, ready for audit with no manual reconstruction.
The standard package: a 60-month warranty for all components, free transport and commissioning included, physical intervention within 48 hours anywhere in the country, free lifetime software updates, 24/7 phone support and video technical assistance for fast troubleshooting. For clients with high volumes or continuous campaigns (like ARS INDUSTRIAL), we offer subscription preventive-maintenance contracts.
Yes, that's exactly what it's designed for. The machine is intended for versatile use — both on open sites and directly in excavations or crossing pits. The robust build (560 kg for the HW630) offers stability even in harsh site conditions, and the modularity in 3 components (carriage, hydraulic, trimmer) allows controlled lowering into the excavation without heavy machinery.
Yes. All 4 machines comply with the international fusion procedures for thermoplastics (ISO, DVS) — exactly the standardized requirements that European funders impose for water-sewer infrastructure projects. The WPD20 generates audit-compliant digital reports that satisfy the documentation required by conformity-assessment bodies and EU auditors.
All components run on 380V three-phase / 50 Hz. For the HW630 the maximum total power is around 12.2 kW (9.6 + 1.5 + 1.1), and for the HW500 it's 8.7 kW (6.5 + 1.1 + 1.1). That means the machines can be powered from any standard 380V industrial connection or directly from the UZINEX mobile photovoltaic plant (24 kW) that ARS uses for the electric Grundodrill — a convenient synergy on sites without a grid connection.
Clear operational logic. The HW500 + HW630 cover the entire range of pipe diameters found on water-sewer sites (200-630 mm). The WP100K handles the electrofusion of fittings (elbows, T-pieces, reducers) over even wider ranges (25-1000 mm). The WPD20 ensures traceability on all the welds made with the HW500/HW630, completing the audit documentation. No machine is redundant — each solves a layer of the process.
For a B2B industrial supplier, the second contract from the same client is the real metric — not the first. ARS voted its trust in UZINEX with its wallet, a second time.
