If you modify something with the word “super” anywhere in it, there is automatically some pressure that comes with that mantle.
Just ask Superman. Or the Super Bowl. Superbad? I think that one is ironic on two different levels.
Even with hotels, nobody is going stay at a hotel just called “8”, right?
Allow me to introduce the Highland Supercell Processor.
Not impressed?
You should be.
HDPE Pipe Fusion
Before we delve into the “super” nature of this cutting-edge technology, it is imperative to get a refresher course on the process of electrofusion and butt fusion.
When performing electrofusion, a fitting that has metal coils built into the segment that joins the pipe is utilized, and an electrical current is safely introduced to melt small amounts of pipe and fitting to form the same homogenous joint that butt fusion provides.
With butt-fusion, the ends of two pipes or fittings are heated and the melted ends are pressed together forming a monolithic joint that has the strength and durability equal to or greater than the pipe itself.
Butt fusion allows fusion of larger diameter pipe, and can accommodate no-dig installation methods. Electrofusion gives added flexibility to multiple types of material, wall thickness, and areas with limited access. In many cases, both types of fusion can be executed on the same job.
Highland Supercell Electrofusion Machine
That brings us to our Superfriend – form of – the Highland Supercell Processor.
So – what exactly is so impressive?
To begin with – the Supercell, exclusive to ISCO Industries in North America, is the world’s first lithium-ion battery powered electrofusion processor.
With that – the advantages are numerous:
- designed for the natural gas industry and designed to be used all day, every day
- no more lugging a heavy generator from the crew truck to the fusion site
- no emissions
- no extension cords
- no noise pollution
- no leeching power from a customer’s power outlet
- unlike other battery-powered processors, the Supercell is capable of fusing everything up to and including 12” couplings
- does not limit you to service lines or tubing sizes
- a dramatic weight reduction when compared to traditional lead-acid batteries
- ownership carries an industry-leading two-year warranty
- when the unit is sent back for calibration there is a five-day turnaround guarantee
- no downtime
- able to communicate with mobile phones, GPS satellites, and Bluetooth®- enabled devices
- can be charged from flat to full in about 60 minutes using the wall outlet charger
- includes a 12-volt auxiliary vehicle charger
- the battery pack has been designed to last for at least 500 full charge cycles meaning even under the heaviest usage, the pack will last five years
- designed and tested to operate in temperatures between 14°F and 110°F and charged in temperatures ranging from 32°F and 120°F
…and saving the best for last:
- weighing in at 31 pounds and dimensions of 17” x 12” x 12”, even the most difficult-to-reach fusion job is simplified to a level never seen before.
So – when seeking a word to describe this cutting-edge technology, it seemed natural to place it in that esteemed echelon with the most powerful fictional hero, and the biggest football game on the planet.
The Highland Supercell Electrofusion tech is just, well – Super.
