Product Name
Leister 106.161 Sieve Reflector - Diameter 31.5mm, 50mm x 34mm
Brief Description
The Leister 106.161 Sieve Reflector is a precision accessory for Leister hot air tools, designed to focus and evenly distribute hot air for various industrial applications. It features a sieve-like design to provide a uniform and consistent airflow output.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Plastic welding, especially for intricate or delicate work.- Shrinking applications.- Drying processes.- Laminating.- Curing of materials.- Bending and forming plastics.- Heat activation and deactivation.- Sterilizing.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Plastic Fabrication- Construction/Building Services (e.g., roofing, flooring installation)- Tarp, Fabric, Awning Manufacturing- General Manufacturing- Automotive Service/Repair (for plastic repairs and shrinking)- Sign & Display (for banners and signs)- Distributers & Resellers- Industrial Supply
Special and Unique Features
- Sieve design for uniform and consistent air flow output.- Specific dimensions (Diameter 31.5mm, 50mm x 34mm) for precise application.- Compatible with popular Leister hot air tools like Triac AT and Triac ST.- Made of durable, heat-resistant materials, often 304 stainless steel.- Clamping connection for secure attachment.
Key Properties
- Accessory type: Sieve Reflector Nozzle.- Nozzle connection diameter: 31.5 mm / 1.25 inches.- Reflector length (A): 50 mm / 1.96 inches.- Reflector width (B): 34 mm / 1.33 inches.- Angle (e): 0° (straight).- Material: Often 304 stainless steel.
Surface Compatibility
- Primarily used to direct hot air onto various thermoplastic materials (e.g., PVC, TPO, PP, PE) for welding, forming, or shrinking.- Also compatible with fabrics, tarpaulins, and other heat-sensitive surfaces requiring controlled thermal processing.
Known backups / known substitutes
- Other Leister reflector nozzles with different shapes (e.g., wide slot, angle, tubular) depending on the specific application.- Reflectors from other hot air tool manufacturers (e.g., Steinel, Forsthoff, BAK), though direct compatibility with Leister tools may vary.- Different sizes of sieve reflectors (e.g., Leister 107.324, 107.333, 107.327, 107.329, 107.337) for varying heat distribution needs.
Comparison Note
Sieve reflectors, like the Leister 106.161, are distinguished by their perforated design, which provides a more diffused and uniform heat pattern compared to solid slot or angle nozzles. This makes them ideal for applications requiring even heat distribution over a specific area, reducing the risk of scorching or uneven heating, particularly for delicate materials or precise shrinking tasks.
