Hire & Service

With over 30 years experience, Fusion
Provida Limited can rightly be considered
one of the world leaders in supplying
products and services to the gas, water,
electricity and landfill industries around the
world.
Fusion Provida - Hire & Service
The first company in the world to introduce a
fully automatic butt fusion machine, part of a
continuing programme of developing more
technically advanced machines that is still
going strong today, Fusion continues to drive
forward the technology of jointing
polyethylene pipes. Fusion was also the
pioneer in introducing electrofusion control
boxes with “automatic pin recognition”. This
system is used widely across the world and
greatly simplifies the pipe jointing process by
removing the potential for human error
through incorrect data entry.
The Hire & Service Division of the company is
now the market leader for the supply of
automatic butt fusion, electrofusion & multi
utility equipment for hire, service or sale to
the gas, water and electricity industries.
Unlike other hire companies with just a few
locations or “vans always in the area”. Fusion
Provida has a comprehensive network of
Service Centres across the United Kingdom
and Ireland. These provide a total service to
meet the needs of National and local civil
engineering and utility contractors. Each of
the Service Centres has trained, experienced
and committed staff to advise, assist and help
with all aspects of your requirements.
With the largest, most modern and
technologically advanced hire fleet in the
world we offer a service second to none.

Automatic Butt Fusion Machines FASTweld Parameters

All of Fusion’s automatic butt fusion machines
operate a failsafe system that guarantees an
open-close time of less than 3 seconds: this
ensures a minimum heat loss at the jointing
surface. A typical rate of heat loss is 6˚C per
second and therefore any delay in bringing
the heated pipe ends together can have a
deleterious effects on joint integrity.

However, with a maximum dwell time of 3

seconds it is possible to ensure good joints Chassis
and increase productivity. Less heat loss
means there is less need to ‘overheat’ the pipe The consequence of this work is an optional
