Posted by Ben Murphy on
The McElroy TracStar® 900 Series 2 was designed to butt fuse pipe sizes from 12” IPS to 36” OD (340MM – 900MM). The TracStar 900 is mounted on independently controlled, self-propelled tracks and features wireless remote driving control. Both models are hydraulically powered to assist all fusion functions, including the operation of the jaws, pipe lifts, heater and facer. The machines allow for butt fusion of most fittings without special holders or removal of outer jaw. Mitered inserts are available for fabricating ells.

The McElroy TracStar® 630 Series 2 was designed to butt fuse pipe sizes from 8” IPS to 24” OD (225MM – 630MM). The TracStar 630 offers a self-contained machine eliminating the need for a separate power source on the jobsite. TracStar has an on-board generator that powers the heater while powerful hydraulics assist all fusion functions, including the operation of the jaws, pipe lifts and facer. Models are available with advanced emission control technology that meets the EPA's latest Tier 4 standards, without the need for diesel exhaust fluid (DEF).

The McElroy TracStar® 500 was the first fusion machine in the world to be mounted on a track system, making it mobile in almost any terrain. The TracStar 500 is the flagship of McElroy machines because its success spawned the entire TracStar line of fusion equipment. The Series 3 adds additional productivity enhancing features, such as indexer-mounted facer and heater that are powered by the machine, standard Hydraulic Clamping, dual pipe lifts and an economy engine throttle setting to conserve fuel.

The McElroy TracStar® 618 Series 2 has been completely redesigned based on feedback that came directly from the field. The new machine now shares a common vehicle with the 28, 250, and 412 range of TracStars and is powered by a powerful diesel engine – which is especially useful on jobsites where gasoline is not permitted.
