Product Name

- Leister 144.826 PreOwned Fusion 3c Extrusion Welder 144.826 230V/3200W, 4-5mm rod

Brief Description

- The Leister Fusion 3c is a compact, handheld extrusion welder designed for joining thermoplastic and composite materials. It utilizes a specialized process to heat and melt plastic filler material, extruding it onto a pre-heated base material to create strong, homogeneous, and permanent bonds. This model is known for its robust design and high material output, making it suitable for demanding applications.

Popular Applications & Uses

- Plastic tank and container fabrication.- Aquaculture construction and repair.- Boat construction and repair.- Tunnel waterproofing.- Plastic pipe and tube welding for plumbing, industrial piping, and infrastructure projects.- Geomembrane installation for landfill, mining, and environmental containment systems.- Fabrication of fume hoods, ducts, and fittings.- Repair and fabrication of plastic components in automotive and transportation.- General construction applications involving joining plastic sheets and components.- Agriculture and water engineering, including land drainage systems and sump tanks.

Industries that Commonly Use It

- Plastic Fabrication- Construction/ Building Services- Marine- Automotive Service/Repair- Petroleum Industry, Products or Services- Chemical Industry- General Manufacturing- Pool/Spa/Plumbing

Special and Unique Features

- Compact and handheld design for ease of use in various positions.- Robust construction suitable for demanding construction site environments.- High material output volume of up to 3.6 kg/h (8 lbs/h).- Adjustable extrusion volume for precise control.- Ergonomic design with multiple holding options, including a grip on the bottom.- Motor positioned on top, with handle and blower at the bottom, contributing to its short and compact form.- Features an internal air guide and air-heated screw heating.- Open loop air temperature control.- Continuous and independent adjustment of air temperature and plast output rate.- Motor start-up protection to prevent damage from cold starts.- Integrated hot air blower eliminates the need for an external air source.- 360º adjustable welding shoe for versatility.- Twist-free welding rod intake on both left and right sides of the tool.

Key Properties

- Voltage: 230V (220-230V).- Power: 3200W (3000-3200W).- Welding rod diameter: 4-5mm (also compatible with 3-4mm depending on specific model/shoe).- Material output: 2.7 - 3.6 kg/h for 5mm rod.- Recommended weldable sheet/membrane thickness: 15 - 25 mm.- Weight: 6.9 kg (without power cord).- Process: Extrusion welding, which creates strong, homogeneous bonds in thermoplastics.- Advantages include stronger bonds, significantly faster processing times (up to 5-6 times faster than hot gas welding), cleaner welds, and broad versatility.- Screw-based extruder components help eliminate air pockets and reduce the need for manual scraping, leading to better weld quality.

Surface Compatibility

- High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE)- Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE)- Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE)- Polypropylene (PP)- Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) (with specific purging requirements for some modern extruders)- Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) (with some modern extruders)- Generally compatible with various thermoplastics and composite materials.

Known backups / known substitutes

- Other Leister extrusion welders such as Fusion 1, Fusion 2, Fusion 3, Weldplast S1, Weldplast S2, Weldplast S4, Weldplast S6, and Weldplast 600.- Hot gas welding (though extrusion welding offers superior speed and bond strength for thick sections).- Extrusion welders from other manufacturers like Ritmo, Wegener Welding, DSL Fusion Technology, Hangzhou Aqua Pipe Technology, and Fuding Bortte Technology.

Comparison Note

- The Leister Fusion 3C is distinguished by its compact, handheld, and robust design, making it highly suitable for both workshop and demanding on-site applications, particularly in equipment and container construction.- It offers a high material output of up to 3.6 kg/h, providing efficient welding for thick plastic sections.- Compared to traditional hot gas welding, extrusion welding with the Fusion 3C provides significantly faster processing times (up to 5-6 times quicker) and results in stronger, more consistent welds.- The Fusion 3C is a refinement of the Fusion 3, primarily featuring a different blower motor position that contributes to its slightly shorter and more compact form factor.
