Product Name
Leister 145.899 Welding Shoe complete (FWP-Ext.Air) overlap 1.6"
Brief Description
An essential accessory for Leister Weldplast series extrusion welders, this welding shoe is designed to create strong, consistent 1.6-inch (40mm) overlap seams in various thermoplastic materials. It features an external air guide for optimal preheating during the welding process.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Plastic tank and container fabrication.- Construction and repair in aquaculture.- Boat construction and repair.- Welding of geomembranes and liners.- Fabrication of plastic sheets, tarpaulins, tents, and banners.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Plastic Fabrication- Marine- Chemical Industry- Construction/ Building Services- Tarp, Fabric, Awning Manufacturing- General Manufacturing
Special and Unique Features
- Specifically designed for overlap seam welding.- Features an external air guide for efficient preheating of the weld area.- Compatible with Leister Weldplast series extrusion welders (e.g., S2, S4, S6) and Fusion series.- Durable construction for demanding industrial environments.- Allows for precise and consistent weld bead formation.
Key Properties
- Overlap Seam Geometry: 1.6 inches (40mm)- Air Guide: External- Material: Typically made of high-grade metal for heat resistance and durability.- Compatibility: Designed for specific Leister extrusion welders.
Surface Compatibility
- HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene)- LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene)- LLDPE (Linear Low-Density Polyethylene)- PP (Polypropylene)- PVC-U (Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride)- Other weldable thermoplastics.
Known backups / known substitutes
- Other Leister welding shoes with different seam geometries (e.g., fillet weld, corner seams) or overlap widths, depending on the specific application.- Blank welding shoes that can be customized for specific profiles.- Welding shoes from other manufacturers compatible with Leister extruders (less common due to proprietary designs).
Comparison Note
This specific welding shoe is optimized for 1.6-inch overlap seams with external air guidance, making it ideal for applications requiring strong, wide overlap welds. Other Leister welding shoes offer different seam geometries (e.g., V-seam, fillet weld) or internal air guides, catering to diverse welding requirements and material thicknesses.
