Product Name
Leister 146.239 Welding Shoe Complete (FWP-Ext.Air) Blank 54x40x52mm
Brief Description
This Leister 146.239 Welding Shoe is a blank, external air accessory designed for use with Leister extrusion welders. Its unshaped form allows users to customize the welding shoe to create unique weld geometries for specialized plastic welding applications. It serves as a crucial component for shaping molten plastic during the extrusion welding process.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Custom plastic welding jobs requiring unique or non-standard weld profiles.- Fabrication of plastic tanks, containers, and equipment.- Construction and repair projects in aquaculture.- Boat construction and repair involving plastic components.- General plastic fabrication tasks across various industries.- Welding of geomembranes and roofing membranes in construction.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Plastic Fabrication- Construction/ Building Services- Marine- General Manufacturing- Fabrication- Pool/Spa/Plumbing- Synthetic Turf- Tarp, Fabric, Awning Manufacturing
Special and Unique Features
- "Blank" design provides unparalleled flexibility, allowing end-users to modify the shoe to suit custom weld geometries and specific job requirements.- Features an External Air (FWP-Ext.Air) guide, optimizing the preheating process for consistent weld quality.- Compatible with a broad range of Leister WELDPLAST (S1, S2, S2 PVC, S4, S6, 600, 605) and FUSION (2, 3, 3C) series extrusion welders.- Manufactured by Leister, a global leader in plastic welding technology, ensuring high quality and durability.- Essential for achieving precise weld bead dimensions and professional finishes.

Known backups / known substitutes
- Other Leister welding shoes with pre-defined geometries, such as fillet weld shoes (e.g., 145.940, 146.232), V-seam shoes (e.g., 145.909, 146.249), overlap shoes (e.g., 145.896), and corner seam shoes (e.g., 146.643, 146.645).- Custom-machined welding shoes from other specialized plastic welding equipment manufacturers.- Leister angle adapters (e.g., 45° or 90°) can be used in conjunction with welding shoes to access difficult-to-reach weld areas.
Comparison Note
The Leister 146.239 Blank Welding Shoe distinguishes itself from standard, pre-shaped welding shoes by offering unparalleled customization. While most Leister welding shoes are designed for specific weld geometries like fillet, V-seam, or overlap, this blank version empowers fabricators to precisely tailor the weld profile to unique project specifications. This makes it an indispensable tool for highly specialized, non-standard, or innovative plastic welding applications where off-the-shelf solutions may not suffice.
