Product Name
- Leister 145.915 Welding shoe complete (FWP-Int. Air) V-seam 8/10 and X-seam 15/20mm
Brief Description
This Leister 145.915 welding shoe is a specialized accessory designed for Leister hot-air extrusion welders. It is engineered to create precise V-seams (8/10mm) and X-seams (15/20mm) with internal air guidance (FWP-Int. Air). This tool facilitates the strong and homogeneous joining of various thermoplastic materials across a wide range of fabrication and construction applications.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Plastic tank and container fabrication.- Aquaculture construction and repair.- Boat construction and repair.- Processing of tarpaulins, billboards, and plastic sealing sheets.- Roofing and floor coverings installation.- Earthworks, hydraulic engineering, and tunnel construction, particularly for geomembranes.- Vehicle and automotive bumper repairs.- General plastic fabrication and equipment construction.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Plastic Fabrication- Construction/ Building Services- Tarp, Fabric, Awning Manufacturing- Automotive Service/Repair- Marine- General Manufacturing
Special and Unique Features
- Specifically designed for V-seam (8/10mm) and X-seam (15/20mm) welding geometries.- Features internal air guidance (FWP-Int. Air) for efficient heat distribution during welding.- Enables the creation of high-quality, robust, and homogeneous welding seams.- Compatible with a range of Leister extrusion welders, including models from the FUSION and WELDPLAST series.- Known for its durability and ease of installation onto compatible welding tools.- Facilitates precise control over critical welding parameters such as temperature, pressure, and speed when used with appropriate Leister equipment.
Key Properties
- Welding Seam Geometry: V-seam 8/10mm and X-seam 15/20mm.- Air Guide: Internal (FWP-Int. Air).- Product Type: Complete welding shoe accessory for Leister extrusion welders.- Country of Origin: Switzerland (typical for Leister products).- Function: Designed for the thermal joining of thermoplastic materials.
Surface Compatibility
- Compatible with various thermoplastic materials, including Polypropylene (PP), Medium-density polyethylene (MDPE), High-density polyethylene (HDPE), Low-density polyethylene (LDPE), Polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS).- Also suitable for thermoplastic elastomers with an olefin base, such as TPO, especially when paired with compatible welders like the WELDPLAST S2 TPO.
Known backups / known substitutes
- Other Leister welding shoes designed for different seam geometries (e.g., fillet weld, corner outside seam, overlap seam) or varying dimensions.- Blank welding shoes from Leister that can be customized by the end-user to suit specific job requirements.- Welding shoes offered by other manufacturers of hot-air plastic welding equipment, although Leister is recognized as a market leader in this field.
Comparison Note
- This Leister 145.915 welding shoe is specifically engineered for creating precise V-seams (8/10mm) and X-seams (15/20mm) with internal air guidance, distinguishing it for applications requiring these particular weld profiles.- It differs from other Leister welding shoes that are designed for alternative seam types, such as fillet welds, corner seams, or overlap seams, or those with different dimensional specifications.- The internal air guide (FWP-Int. Air) is a key characteristic, setting it apart from models that feature external air guides.
