Product Name
Leister 145.817 Welding shoe complete (FWP-Int. Air) fillet weld 30mm
Brief Description
An essential accessory for Leister plastic extrusion welders, this welding shoe is designed to create precise 30mm fillet weld seams with internal air guidance. It facilitates the joining of thermoplastic materials by applying pre-heated air and extrudate.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Creating fillet welds in plastic fabrication.- Welding plastic tanks and containers.- Repair and construction in marine environments (e.g., boats).- Sealing and joining plastic sheets for roofing, earthworks, hydraulic engineering, and tunnel construction.- Vehicle repairs involving plastic components.- General equipment construction and repair using thermoplastics.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Construction/ Building Services- Plastic Fabrication- Marine- General Manufacturing- Tarp, Fabric, Awning Manufacturing- Transportation/ Specialty Vehicle
