Or the Super Bowl. Superbad? I think that one is ironic on two different levels.   <\/p>\n\n<p>Even with hotels, nobody is going stay at a hotel just called &#8220;8&#8221;, right?<\/p>\n\n<p>Allow me to introduce the Highland Supercell Processor.<\/p>\n\n<p>Not impressed?<\/p>\n\n<p>You should be.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">HDPE Pipe Fusion<\/h2>\n\n<p>Before we delve into the &#8220;super&#8221; nature of this cutting-edge technology, it is imperative to get a refresher course on the process of electrofusion and butt fusion.<\/p>\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n<p>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.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Highland Supercell Electrofusion Machine<\/h2>\n\n<p>That brings us to our Superfriend &#8211; form of &#8211; the Highland Supercell Processor.<\/p>\n\n<p>So &#8211; what exactly is so impressive?<\/p>\n\n<p>To begin with \u2013 the Supercell, exclusive to ISCO Industries in North America, is the world\u2019s first lithium-ion battery powered electrofusion processor.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>With that &#8211; the advantages are numerous:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list list-dashed\">\n<li>designed for the natural gas industry and designed to be used all day, every day<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>no more lugging a heavy generator from the crew truck to the fusion site<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>no emissions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>no extension cords<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>no noise pollution<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>no leeching power from a customer\u2019s power outlet<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>unlike other battery-powered processors, the Supercell is capable of fusing everything up to and including 12\u201d couplings<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>does not limit you to service lines or tubing sizes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a dramatic weight reduction when compared to traditional lead-acid batteries<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>ownership carries an industry-leading two-year warranty<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>when the unit is sent back for calibration there is a five-day turnaround guarantee<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>no downtime<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>able to communicate with mobile phones, GPS satellites, and Bluetooth\u00ae- enabled devices<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>can be charged from flat to full in about 60 minutes using the wall outlet charger<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>includes a 12-volt auxiliary vehicle charger<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>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<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>designed and tested to operate in temperatures between 14\u00b0F and 110\u00b0F and charged in temperatures ranging from 32\u00b0F and 120\u00b0F<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>\u2026and saving the best for last:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list list-dashed\">\n<li>weighing in at 31 pounds and dimensions of 17\u201d x 12\u201d x 12\u201d, even the most difficult-to-reach fusion job is simplified to a level never seen before.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>So &#8211; 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.<\/p>\n\n<p>The Highland Supercell Electrofusion tech is just, well &#8211; Super.<\/p>\n\n<p>To better understand if the Supercell Electrofusion Machine is right for your application or to schedule a demonstration or training, let\u2019s talk.
