Product Name
Leister 107.308 Sieve reflector (ø 1.45 inch) 1.33 x 1.96 inch Reflector
Brief Description
The Leister 107.308 Sieve reflector is a precision-engineered accessory designed for use with compatible Leister hot air tools, such as the Ghibli, Ghibli AW, and Solano heat guns. It functions as a specialized nozzle that directs and distributes hot air, primarily for heat shrinking applications, but also for a range of other industrial heating processes.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Heat shrinking, particularly in cable manufacturing, automotive, and electronics applications.- Sterilizing- De-flashing- Drying- Laminating- Curing- Bending & Forming of materials- Heat activation & deactivation processes
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Automotive Service/Repair- Electrical Services or Products- General Manufacturing- LED/Electronics- Plastic Fabrication- Distributers & Resellers- Industrial Supply
Special and Unique Features
- Made from precision engineered stainless steel, ensuring durability and consistent performance.- Features a push-fit connection for easy attachment to compatible Leister hot air guns.- Specifically designed with a 75° angle for the 107.308 model, optimizing heat reflection and distribution for targeted tasks.- Compatible with various Leister hot air tools including Ghibli, Ghibli AW, Solano, TRIAC ST, TRIAC AT, and Diode PID/S.
Key Properties
- Material: Stainless steel (often 304 stainless steel for similar reflectors).- Nozzle Connection Diameter: ø 36.5 mm / 1.45 inches.- Reflector Length: 50 mm / 1.96 inches.- Reflector Width: 34 mm / 1.33 inches.- Angle: 75° (for the 107.308 model).- Connection Type: Push-fit connection.
Surface Compatibility
This sieve reflector is an air-directing accessory, not a contact tool. It is used to apply controlled hot air to a wide range of surfaces and materials that require heat treatment, such as various plastics, electrical cables, and other components for shrinking, forming, or drying.
Known backups / known substitutes
- Other Leister reflector nozzles, including different sizes of sieve reflectors (e.g., 107.319, 106.127, 107.324) or spoon reflectors (e.g., 107.313), which offer varied heat distribution patterns and compatibility with different Leister tools.- Raychem PR Reflector Nozzles, which can be used with Leister products via an adaptor nozzle (105.509).- Compatible reflector nozzles from other manufacturers like Industrial Heat Sources (IHS) for use with various hot air tools.
Comparison Note
The Leister 107.308 Sieve reflector is distinguished by its specific dimensions (ø 1.45 inch nozzle connection, 1.33 x 1.96 inch reflector) and 75° angle, making it particularly suited for medium-scale heat shrinking and general heating tasks. While other Leister sieve reflectors exist with different diameters and angles, the 107.308 is optimized for specific Leister hot air guns like the Ghibli and Solano series, offering a balanced approach to heat concentration and spread for its intended applications.
