McElroy’s 412 line of fusion machines comes in multiple model configurations to meet the demands of your pipeline project. They are designed to butt fuse pipe sizes from 4” IPS to 12” DIPS (110mm to 340mm).

The TracStar® iSeries technology is now available for medium diameter pipe sizes. The TracStar 412i incorporates the FusionGuide™ Control System seen on other TracStar iSeries models, giving operators the choice of three levels of control during the fusion process. Each level has varying degrees of assistance, from manual control to fully automatic fusion.

The TracStar 412i offers a self-contained, self-propelled, track-mounted vehicle that can handle grades up to 30 percent. Its improved cowling design aids in heat dissipation, and its powerful diesel engine allows it to be used on jobsites where gasoline is not permitted.

Like other TracStar iSeries machines, the TracStar 412i is controlled via the DataLogger®, McElroy’s ruggedized tablet that records fusion parameters and other pertinent data during the fusion process. The TracStar 412i’s enhanced guided workflow manages machine pressures, carriage, shift sequence, and more to ensure standards compliance and a successful fusion.

All required fusion operations, including machine pressures, carriage open/close, and shift sequence, are controlled using the DataLogger®.
