Original Press Release:



GF Piping Systems Introduces the New IR110 Plus Fusion Machine for Thermoplastic Piping Systems ½" to 4" (20-110mm)



TUSTIN, Calif. - In response to customer demand for expanded pipe joining machine capabilities, GF Piping Systems has introduced IR110 Plus® Fusion Joining Machine for welding of the company's thermoplastic piping systems from ½" through 4" sizes. The new machine is based on the proven design of earlier models and is substantiated with more than two years of development and testing.

Previously, some pipe installations would require two separate machines - an IR63 Plus fusion machine to join ½" through 2" and an IR225 Plus machine to join 2" through 8". The new IR110 Plus machine eliminates the need for two separate machines for job's that require only sizes up to 4" (110mm), offering convenience and cost-savings for the user.

"The IR110 Plus machine was introduced to provide added convenience at the job site," points out Martin Frueh, GF Piping Systems Machine Product Manager. "This is especially important for installations in life sciences, universities, laboratories, and DI water applications where pipe sizes typically run the gamut from ½" through 4". Other applications may only require ½" through 2" where limitations imposed by different pipe sizes were not an issue."

The IR110 Plus is suitable for use with GF Piping Systems' SYGEF® Standard, SYGEF® Plus, PROGEF® Standard, PROGEF® Natural, and optional PFA pipe and fittings. The unit comes fully equipped with two USB interfaces, a monochrome display with icons, and 12 languages. Other key features to the new design are easy navigation fields, a unique heater and facer assembled as one unit that provides added user convenience, and lighter weight than competitive models. A wide range of machine accessories are available including clamping inserts, facing tool replacement blades, end caps and pipe stops.

Piping systems used by the machine can be found in a diverse range of applications including water treatment, waste treatment, process cooling water, chemical processing, purified water, UPW and HUPW (Hot) ultrapure water return loops, sanitization with ozone, rinse water, and humidification water in such industries as industrial water treatment, microelectronics, life sciences, food processing, chemical manufacturing, and semiconductor.

GF Piping Systems supplies a full range of plastic pipe, fittings, tubing, valves, actuators, rotameters, fusion machines, secondary containment, tank linings, heat exchangers, custom products, and sensors and instrumentation for industrial process control.
