Bahrein: DELTA 1600 HDR by RITMO

November 2017

Everything changes once you are standing in front of uncommon proportions: points of view, feelings, even the time seems to go by differently. The DELTA 1600 HDR, a welding machine with hydraulic motion with a working range from 800 to 1600 mm. Here, people are thinking about future with a modern and welcoming residential area in the artificial island of Al Madina Al Shamaliya. The air around is worm, even in winter, with a nice wind coming from the sea, that carries thin sand and humid air. All around the scenario is like a moonscape that a big black conduct makes it even more mysterious. Here people weld kilometers of PE100 1200 mm SDR 26 that aims to take water from sea to be desalinate. The Ritmo's Welding machine, with its hydraulic clamps, makes the job quicker. In just a few minutes all the claps are open wide without any support from other mechanical devices. Suddenly it becomes majestic underlining the contrast between the words huge and light. The hydraulic clamps give you another benefit in terms of grip on pipes, avoiding annoying slip during the pressure phase; thing that usually may occur with insufficient manual fastening. To conclude, there are still 4 km left to be weld, and day by day the temperature is raising quickly. Anyway, this aspect does not affect the welding machine since it is equipped with a heat exchanger for the hydraulic circuit.
