Product Name
Leister 145.944 Welding shoe complete (FWP-Int. Air) fillet weld 8/10mm
Brief Description
This Leister 145.944 welding shoe is a specialized accessory designed for hot-air plastic extrusion welders. It is specifically engineered to create precise fillet welds with an 8/10mm dimension, utilizing an internal air guidance system for optimal performance in joining thermoplastic materials.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Welding plastic sheets for various constructions- Fabricating plastic tanks, pipes, and containers- Sealing roofing membranes and geomembranes in construction and civil engineering projects- Repair and construction in marine environments, such as boat building and repair- Aquaculture construction and repair- Manufacturing plastic components for industrial systems- Vehicle repairs and custom plastic fabrication in specialty vehicles- Equipment and container construction
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Construction/ Building Services (for roofing, geomembranes, tunnel construction)- Plastic Fabrication (for manufacturing plastic components, tanks, pipes, containers)- Tarp, Fabric, Awning Manufacturing (for welding PVC fabrics and sealing sheets)- Marine (for boat construction and repair)- Transportation/ Specialty Vehicle (for vehicle repairs and custom plastic work)- General Manufacturing (for diverse plastic component production)- Chemical Industry (for plastic tank and container fabrication)
Special and Unique Features
- Specifically designed for fillet weld seam geometry- Features internal air guidance (FWP-Int. Air) for efficient heating and welding- Optimized for an 8/10mm weld size, ensuring consistent results for specific joint dimensions- Compatible with a range of Leister extrusion welders, including Weldplast S2, Fusion 2, Fusion 3, and Fusion 3C
Key Properties
- Welding Seam Geometry: Fillet weld seam- Air Guide: Internal- Weld Size: 8/10mm- Material: Designed for use with thermoplastic materials
Surface Compatibility
This welding shoe is compatible with a wide range of thermoplastic materials commonly processed by Leister extrusion welders, including but not limited to: HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene), PP (Polypropylene), PVC-U (Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride), PVC-C (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride), PA (Polyamide), PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride), and ECTFE (Ethylene ChloroTriFluoroEthylene).
Known backups / known substitutes
- Other Leister welding shoes for different seam geometries (e.g., V-seam, X-seam, overlap seam) or varying sizes, such as the Leister 145.940 (20mm fillet weld), 146.645 (10mm corner outside seam), 145.817 (30mm fillet weld), 146.249 (V8/10 EA), 145.916 (V25 IA), and 145.896 (UBL25 IA).- Blank welding shoes (e.g., Leister 146.239) are available, allowing users to customize the shoe for unique or specialized welding tasks.
Comparison Note
The Leister 145.944 welding shoe is specifically designed for creating fillet welds, which are ideal for T-joints and internal corner seams where two workpieces meet at an angle. This contrasts with other welding shoes that are shaped for V-seams or X-seams (butt welds for joining edges), or overlap seams, each suited for distinct joint configurations and application requirements. Its internal air guidance and precise 8/10mm size make it highly specialized for consistent, high-quality fillet welding in compatible Leister extrusion systems.
