Product Name
Leister 146.218 Complete (FWP-Ext.Air) corner short, D=0.8" Welding Shoe
Brief Description
This Leister 146.218 welding shoe is a specialized accessory designed for use with Leister extrusion welders. It facilitates the precise welding of plastic materials, specifically engineered for creating corner seams by guiding molten plastic and hot air to form a strong, consistent weld.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Plastic tank fabrication- Aquaculture construction and repair- Boat construction and repair- Equipment and container construction- Welding of plastic sheets and membranes- Repair of plastic components
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Plastic Fabrication- Construction/ Building Services- Marine- General Manufacturing- Chemical Industry- PVC Trimboard- Synthetic Turf- Tarp, Fabric, Awning Manufacturing
Special and Unique Features
- Specifically designed for corner short applications with a D=0.8" (approximately 20mm) dimension.- Features an "FWP-Ext.Air" designation, indicating its function for fillet welding with external air guidance.- Compatible with a range of Leister extrusion welders, including models from the Fusion series (Fusion 1, 2, 3, 3C) and Weldplast series (S1, S2, S4, S6).- Constructed for durability, ensuring reliable performance in demanding industrial environments.- Designed for easy installation and quick changes on compatible extruders, enhancing operational efficiency.- Enables the formation of precise and consistent weld beads in corner areas.
Key Properties
- Type: Welding Shoe, specifically for corner seams.- Diameter/Size: D=0.8" (approximately 20mm).- Air Guide: External Air (Ext.Air).- Compatibility: Primarily designed for Leister FUSION and WELDPLAST series extrusion welders.- Material: Typically manufactured from high-quality, heat-resistant metal for longevity and consistent welding performance.
Surface Compatibility
- Polyethylene (PE)- Polypropylene (PP)- PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)- Other thermoplastic materials suitable for extrusion welding applications.
Known backups / known substitutes
- Other Leister welding shoes offering different seam geometries (e.g., V-seam, overlap seam, fillet weld) or varying sizes.- Leister blank welding shoes (e.g., 146.239) which can be custom-machined to suit unique application requirements.- Welding shoes from alternative manufacturers of plastic extrusion welders, though direct compatibility with Leister extruders may vary.
Comparison Note
The Leister 146.218 welding shoe is specifically tailored for corner short applications with external air guidance, setting it apart from other Leister welding shoes that are designed for different seam types (such as V-seam, overlap seam, or fillet weld) or utilize internal air guidance. Its precise D=0.8" (20mm) size makes it ideal for specific corner dimensions, offering enhanced accuracy for specialized plastic fabrication tasks compared to more general-purpose or customizable blank welding shoes.
