Product Name
- Leister 163.793 Welding Shoe CL14 IA (ø30 x 45mm) for Fusion 1 Welders
Brief Description
- The Leister 163.793 Welding Shoe CL14 IA is a specialized accessory designed for the Leister Fusion 1 extrusion welder. It is specifically engineered to facilitate the precise application and shaping of molten thermoplastic filler material, primarily for creating corner seams in plastic welding applications.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Plastic tank fabrication and repair.- Pipe and tube welding.- Fabrication of fume hoods, ducts, and fittings.- Aquaculture construction and repair.- Boat construction and repair.- Landfill and mining membrane welding.- General plastic repairs.- Waterproofing applications for ponds, reservoirs, and canals.- Joining thick-section plastic fabrications.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Plastic Fabrication: Essential for creating strong, homogeneous seams in various plastic structures.- Construction/ Building Services: Utilized in geomembrane installation, roofing, and pipe infrastructure.- Marine: Employed in the construction and repair of boats and aquaculture facilities.- General Manufacturing: For producing a wide range of plastic components and assemblies.- Chemical Industry: Critical for fabricating chemical-resistant tanks, containers, and piping systems.- Transportation/ Specialty Vehicle: Used for plastic repairs and fabrication in specialty vehicles.- Distributers & Resellers: Sold through channels that supply industrial welding equipment and accessories.- Industrial Supply: A common item stocked by suppliers catering to industrial welding and fabrication needs.
Special and Unique Features
- Designed for corner seam welding geometry.- Features internal air guidance for optimal pre-heating of the weld area.- Specifically compatible with the compact and slim Leister Fusion 1 extrusion welder, ideal for tight spaces.- Facilitates the production of long and consistent welded seams in a single pass, enhancing efficiency.- Made by Leister, a brand known for Swiss-engineered and Swiss-made welding equipment, ensuring quality and durability.
Key Properties
- Material: Typically made from PTFE (Teflon) or similar heat-resistant, non-stick materials to prevent molten plastic adhesion.- Dimensions: ø30 x 45mm, indicating its size and profile for specific weld geometries.- Seam Geometry: CL14 IA indicates a specific design for corner seams with internal air.- Durability: Engineered for industrial use, offering robust performance in demanding environments.
Surface Compatibility
- Compatible with various thermoplastics commonly welded by the Leister Fusion 1, including: - High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) - Polypropylene (PP) - Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) - Flexible Polyolefins (FPO) - Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) - Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) - Thermoplastic Polyolefins (TPO)
Known backups / known substitutes
- Other Leister welding shoes designed for the Fusion 1 or other Leister extrusion welders, with different geometries (e.g., V-seam, fillet weld, flat seams) or sizes, depending on the specific application.- Generic or third-party welding shoes compatible with Leister Fusion 1, though Leister original parts are generally recommended for optimal performance and fit.
Comparison Note
- This CL14 IA welding shoe is specifically designed for corner seams with internal air guidance, distinguishing it from other welding shoes that might be for V-seams, X-seams, fillet welds, or external air guidance. Its compact size and internal air feature make it particularly suitable for intricate work and confined spaces where the Fusion 1 excels. It is an integral part of the extrusion welding process, ensuring proper material flow and weld quality for specific joint configurations.
