Product Name
Leister 100.985 - 40mm Silicone Replacement Pressure Rollers for Leister Uniplan 500
Brief Description
A silicone replacement pressure roller specifically designed for Leister Uniplan 500 automatic hot-air welding machines, as well as compatible Leister Uniplan 300, Uniplan 510, Uniplan 310, and Herz/BAK Roofon 40mm machines. This roller is crucial for applying consistent pressure during the hot-air welding of various industrial fabrics and plastics.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Welding of industrial fabrics such as truck tarpaulins, tents, and banners.- Overlap, hem, and piping welding on a variety of industrial fabrics.- Textile roofing and facade welding applications.- Pond and pool waterproofing projects.- Smoothing out ridges and improving the overall quality and appearance of plastic welding projects.- Applying consistent pressure in laminating, embossing, and adhesive applications.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Tarp, Fabric, Awning Manufacturing- Construction/ Building Services- Sign & Display- General Manufacturing- Distributers & Resellers
Special and Unique Features
- Specifically designed as a direct replacement part for the Leister Uniplan 500 and other compatible Leister and Herz/BAK models, ensuring perfect fit and function.- Constructed from high-quality silicone, providing excellent heat resistance, chemical inertness, and non-adhesiveness to plastics.- Essential for achieving strong, consistent, and high-quality seams in hot-air welding processes by applying uniform pressure.- Engineered for durability and resistance to wear and tear, ensuring a long operational lifespan in demanding industrial environments.
Key Properties
- Material: High-grade Silicone rubber.- Dimensions: 40mm roller width.- High Temperature Resistance: Capable of withstanding high temperatures, crucial for hot-air welding applications (up to 180°C for general silicone rollers, up to 500°F/260°C for others).- High Pressure Resistance: Designed to endure the pressure required for effective welding.- Ozone Resistance: Contributes to the roller's longevity in various environments.- Chemical Inertness: Resistant to chemicals such as acids, oils, and grease.- Non-Adhesiveness to Plastics: Offers excellent release properties, preventing material sticking during welding.- High Coefficient of Friction: Useful for securely holding and transporting materials.- Easy to Clean / Dirt-Repellent: Simplifies maintenance and ensures consistent performance.- Equipped with ball bearings for smooth and efficient operation.
Surface Compatibility
- PVC coated materials.- Various industrial fabrics, including tarpaulins, banners, and tent materials.- General plastic materials used in welding applications.- Applicable to a range of materials such as paper, plastic, metal, fabric, and wood in broader silicone roller applications like printing and laminating.
Known backups / known substitutes
- Other Leister silicone pressure rollers of varying sizes, such as 28mm.- Leister brass pressure rollers, including the "Penny Roller" for specific applications.- PTFE pressure rollers, offering different surface properties.- Compatible 40mm pressure rollers from other manufacturers like Herz/BAK (e.g., Herz/BAK Roofon 40mm PN 6600132).
Comparison Note
This 40mm silicone replacement pressure roller is specifically engineered for the Leister Uniplan 500, ensuring optimal performance, precise fit, and seamless compatibility with the machine's advanced hot-air welding capabilities. While alternative roller materials like brass or PTFE are available for different welding tasks, silicone rollers are particularly valued for their superior heat resistance, non-stick properties, and chemical inertness. These characteristics make the silicone roller an ideal choice for achieving high-quality, durable welds on a wide array of industrial fabrics and plastics, directly supporting the high welding speeds and consistent results of the Uniplan 500.
