Product Name
Leister 145.912 Welding shoe complete (FWP-Int. Air) V-seam 5/6 and X-seam 10/12mm
Brief Description
This product is a specialized welding shoe accessory for Leister plastic extrusion welders. It is engineered to create precise V-seam and X-seam weld geometries in thermoplastic materials, featuring internal air guidance for optimal performance.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Plastic tank and container fabrication.- Aquaculture construction and repair.- Boat construction and repair.- Welding of geomembranes in landfill and mining projects.- Waterproofing of reservoirs, canals, and tunnels.- Joining large sheets of plastic material for applications such as roofing membranes and pond liners.- Manufacturing of various plastic components for industrial systems.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Plastic Fabrication- Construction/ Building Services- Marine- Energy (for infrastructure like reservoirs, landfills, and tunnels)- General Manufacturing- Tarp, Fabric, Awning Manufacturing
Special and Unique Features
- Specifically designed for V-seam (5/6mm) and X-seam (10/12mm) welding geometries.- Incorporates internal air guidance (FWP-Int. Air) for efficient welding.- Facilitates the creation of strong and precise welds.- Known for its durability and ease of installation.- Compatible with a range of Leister extrusion welders, including models from the FUSION and WELDPLAST series.
Key Properties
- Designed for V-seam 5/6mm and X-seam 10/12mm welding geometries.- Features an internal air guide.- Constructed for high-quality, industrial-grade plastic welding applications.- An essential accessory for hot-air plastic extrusion welding equipment.
Surface Compatibility
- Compatible with various thermoplastic materials, including HDPE, PP, PVC-U, PVC-C, PA, PVDF, and ECTFE.- Suitable for welding plastic sheets, roofing membranes, pond liners, and geotextiles.
Known backups / known substitutes
- Other Leister welding shoes offering different seam geometries (e.g., overlap, fillet, corner) or external air guidance.- Generic or third-party welding shoes designed for compatibility with Leister extrusion welders, though Leister is a market leader for quality.
Comparison Note
This Leister 145.912 welding shoe is specifically engineered for V-seam and X-seam applications with internal air flow, setting it apart from other Leister welding shoes that cater to different seam types (e.g., overlap, fillet, corner) or utilize external air guidance. Its precise dimensions for V-seam (5/6mm) and X-seam (10/12mm) make it ideal for specific material thicknesses and joint requirements in demanding industrial applications.
