With its compact, ergonomic handle and comprehensive accessories such as the various angle adapters, the Leister tube shaped device is the ideal tool for draw welding accurate seams in inaccessible and narrow places. In the well-arranged display of the PENWELD 305-A, the current and target temperature are always in view during use. Due to the electronic control of the external-air welder, the temperature remains constant, which offers users a high level of process reliability. Due to the special shape of the handle, guiding of the welding tool is logical. Users intuitively hold the PENWELD 305-A correctly, which supports them during welding and enables them to work more comfortably. For more mobility during draw welding, the PENWELD 305-A can be easily rotated 310 degrees at the air connection. In addition, the air hose with integrated power cable is lightweight and flexible. Its surface is made of a particularly slippery mesh, reminiscent of snakeskin. This allows the hose to be pulled over edges without resistance during welding. The PENWELD 305-A is available in various versions for specific applications: Air hose in different lengths (3 m and 8 m), different power levels (1000 W and 1550 W), nozzle connection with thread M14 or plug-in connection. Leister also offers this hot gas welder as a simple version: the PENWELD S.
Product Name
Leister 173.368 PENWELD 305-A Plastic welder with LED work light
Brief Description
The Leister PENWELD 305-A is a fully digital, closed-loop hot air hand gun designed for accurate production plastic welding. It is particularly well-suited for precise work in tight spaces and harsh industrial environments, requiring an external air supply for operation.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Precise plastic welding work in apparatus and tank construction.- Welding in tight, dark, and inaccessible spaces.- Hot air draw welding of detailed plastic tanks, air washers, and pump wells.- Manufacturing plastic tanks.- Processing and repairing resin tanks for aquaculture.- Processing and repairing the hulls of small boats.- Repairing resin molded products such as bumpers and containers.- Welding waterproof sheets in reservoirs and drainage channels.- Shrinking of heat shrink hoses, films, tapes, soldering connectors, and molded parts.- Soldering of copper pipes, soldering connectors, and metal foils.- Activating and dissolving solvent-free adhesives.- Removing plastic press burrs.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Plastic Fabrication- Construction/ Building Services- Marine- Automotive Service/Repair- General Manufacturing- Chemical Industry- Pool/Spa/Plumbing- Fabrication- Thermoforming- Sign & Display
Special and Unique Features
- Integrated warm color LED ring light illuminates the welding zone, enhancing visibility and preventing eye strain during prolonged work.- Compact, ergonomic, slim, and lightweight design ensures ease of use, especially in confined areas.- Fully digital closed-loop hot air system maintains a constant and accurate temperature for reliable welding results.- Digital display with intuitive menu navigation allows for easy operation and monitoring of current and target temperatures.- The control screen can be locked to prevent accidental changes to settings during operation.- Features a lightweight 3m (or 8m) air hose with 310° rotation for exceptional flexibility and maneuverability.- The robust air hose has a slippery mesh surface, resembling snakeskin, to reduce resistance when pulled over edges.- A logically designed polygon-shaped handle ensures a correct and comfortable grip, aiding in precise tool guidance.- Requires an external air supply, such as a Leister ROBUST or AIRSTREAM 100 industrial process blower.- Equipped with a powerful and durable heating element.- Electronic components are carefully encased and protected against moisture and contamination.- Designed for outdoor use, offering versatility in various work environments.- Features an M14 screw-fit nozzle connection, compatible with a wide range of specialized nozzles.
Key Properties
- Voltage: 120V (for model 173.368) or 230V (other variations).- Power: 1000W (for 305-A models).- Frequency: 50/60 Hz.- Temperature Range: 60 - 450°C, with stepless digital temperature setting.- Air Hose Length: Available in 3m or 8m options.- Weight: 0.43 kg (device only).- Nozzle Connection: M14 screw-fit.- Protection Class: II.- Country of Origin: Switzerland.
Surface Compatibility
The Leister PENWELD 305-A is compatible with various thermoplastic materials. Common plastics suitable for welding include Polypropylene (PP), Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE), Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), Polycarbonate (PC), Polyethylene (PE), Polyethylene Terephthalate (PETE or PET), and Acrylic (PMMA). It is critical to note that different plastic types are generally not cross-compatible, meaning welding should typically be performed with the same type of plastic for optimal bonding.
Known backups / known substitutes
- Other hot air plastic welders/guns, such as the Leister PENWELD S or Leister TRIAC ST/AT series.- Alternative plastic welding methods including laser beam welding, ultrasonic welding, spin welding, vibration welding, hot plate welding, high-frequency welding, extrusion welding, and solvent welding.- Adhesive bonding using glues, epoxies, structural adhesives, or high-performance double-sided adhesive tapes.- Mechanical fastening methods like rivets, screws, threaded or self-tapping bushings, and expansion bushings.- Chemical solvents such as methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) for solvent welding.- Methyl methacrylate-based plastic welders/adhesives.
Comparison Note
The Leister PENWELD 305-A is a specialized hot gas welding tool, a widely recognized and versatile method for joining thermoplastics. While hot gas welding may have a slower heating rate compared to advanced techniques like laser welding, it offers superior portability and ease of use for many applications. This device stands out from simpler hot air guns due to its precise digital temperature control, ergonomic design, and integrated LED work light, making it exceptionally suitable for detailed work in challenging and confined environments. Its requirement for an external air supply distinguishes it from self-contained hot air tools, providing consistent airflow essential for high-quality, repeatable welds.
