New Innovations in Fusion Technology by Sekisui Chemical

In a significant advancement for the construction industry, Sekisui Chemical Corporation has unveiled its latest product— the EC-75B, a battery-operated EF fusion machine designed specifically for the lightweight and earthquake-resistant polyethylene pipe, Eslo Hyper AW. This innovative solution addresses the ongoing labor shortages in the construction sector exacerbated by Japan's aging population.

Addressing the Challenges of Power Supply in Construction

Construction sites often rely on temporary power sources to carry out operations, which can lead to fluctuating voltage levels and compromise the quality of welding processes. Traditional generators are often heavy, cumbersome, and can generate unwanted noise as well as exhausting fumes. Responding to feedback from the field, Sekisui Chemical has developed a generator-free, cordless option to meet these challenges head-on. This new battery-powered machine ensures stable quality in EF (electrical fusion) welding without the hassle of arranging external power supplies.

Benefits of the EC-75B

The EC-75B, set to be available for rental across Japan starting in January 2025 after a successful trial phase, boasts several features that simplify construction processes:
1. Quality Consistency: The battery-operated design allows for reliable fusion quality that isn’t susceptible to power supply issues.
2. Noise-Free Operation: Contractors can enjoy a quieter work environment, free from the disruptions caused by conventional generators.
3. Lightweight Design: The machine is compact, complemented with a shoulder strap for easy handling in confined or elevated spaces.
4. Safety Features: Without power cords to trip over, the operation becomes significantly safer.
5. Versatile Compatibility: It can be used with various EF fusion types, including fire protection pipe systems.

Future-Proofing the Industry

As the construction sector continues to face a projected decline in skilled laborers, it's vital to adopt methods that enhance efficiency while maintaining high-quality standards. The EC-75B strives to facilitate easier installation methods and thereby reduce construction times across the board.

Eslo Hyper AW has been critical in expanding Japan's infrastructure for drinking water and fire prevention systems since its introduction in 2005, making strides in both performance and reliability. By incorporating this new energy-efficient machine into their operations, contractors can experience significant improvements in productivity and quality.

Commitment to Sustainability

Sekisui Chemical is committed to developing products that contribute positively to both environmental and societal needs. The introduction of the EC-75B is part of a broader strategy to support sustainable practices in the building and construction industry. Their overarching goal is to achieve a sustainable society by 2030, ensuring that their innovations benefit both current and future generations. The corporation actively seeks to promote its initiatives for environmental, social, and governance (ESG) leadership throughout its operations, showcasing its dedication to responsible business practices.
