Above ground or in the ditch, these machines bring the flexibility of the smaller machines to MegaMc large-diameter fusion. These fusion machines have all the advantages of their predecessors with additional features for in-ditch, close-quarter work. The carriage has 4 jaws with a removable 3-jaw carriage and is capable of top-loading the heater and facer to maximize functionality within limited space. The TracStar 900 is mounted on independently controlled, selfpropelled tracks and features a 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 Automatic TracStar 900 controls and monitors the heat, soak, fuse and cool cycles. It has a built-in data logging feature that keeps a record of each fusion joint, which allows you to verify joint integrity. 64
