Surface Compatibility
The Leister LHS 15 SYSTEM is compatible with various materials that can be processed or affected by hot air, including:- Thermoplastic materials (for welding, shrinking, shining plastic surfaces, removing mold flash)- Packaging films and molded parts (for shrinking and welding)- Synthetic fibers and fabrics (for separating and fusing)- Thin metal parts (for soldering processes)- Solvent-free and melt adhesives (for activating and loosening)- Various materials requiring drying, coating, laminating, or sterilization
Known backups / known substitutes
- Leister LHS 15 CLASSIC (a more basic variant without digital display or remote control)- Leister LHS 15 PREMIUM (a variant with manual temperature adjustment via potentiometer and active overheat protection)- Other Leister LHS series air heaters (e.g., LHS 21L SYSTEM, LHS 21S SYSTEM, LHS 41S, LHS 61S, LHS 91 System) which offer different power levels or features- Leister LE TOOL 700 (the predecessor, with which the LHS 15 is backwards compatible)- Industrial hot air blowers or heaters from other manufacturers with comparable specifications and integration capabilities for process heat applications.
Comparison Note
The Leister LHS 15 SYSTEM distinguishes itself from the CLASSIC and PREMIUM versions within the LHS 15 line by incorporating advanced digital functionalities. It features an integrated digital display for precise monitoring of current and target values, ensuring highly reproducible results. Crucially, it includes a 4-20 mA or 0-10V analog interface, enabling seamless remote control and integration with external controllers or PLC systems, which is not available in the CLASSIC or PREMIUM models. This makes the SYSTEM variant particularly well-suited for automated industrial production lines where precise control, monitoring, and integration into complex machinery are paramount. Its compact size, robust construction, and comprehensive overheating protection further ensure reliable and safe continuous operation in demanding industrial environments.
