Shrink Tubing Insulating or marking cables with heat shrink tubes is a common application at home for an electrician or in cable harness production. Special plastic hoses, known as heat shrink hoses, contract considerably when exposed to heat, thus protecting the products enclosed from mechanical damage or electrically insulating them. In this application, hot air …
Thermoforming Process In thermoforming, a plate-shaped plastic is heated uniformly before it is formed three-dimensionally by vacuum deep drawing or in a closed mould with a press. This technique is ideal for giving plastic a permanent new shape. Thermoplastics can be heated to such an extent that they soften and can be formed. In order …
Laminating Process Lamination describes a cohesive substance bonding process whereby multiple layers of various large surface area materials come together, creating a fixed, inseparable bond between layers. There are different laminating processes available, both with and without the use of binding agents. Laminating involves combining the various mechanical and thermal properties of the individual layers, …
Sterilization Process Sterilization means the complete killing of microorganisms and bacteria. It is mainly used for equipment used in food processing, medicine and microbiology. Food is sterilized at temperatures above 100°C for preservation. Sterilization with hot air In contrast to sterilisation, pasteurisation of food takes place at a temperature below 100°C. Pasteurisation is mainly used …
Embossing Process From car dashboards to synthetic leather handbags with perfect imitation animal hide, coated fabrics can be found in virtually all areas of life. The imitation of relief-like structures is achieved by embossing. The material has to be heated beforehand so that primary materials adopt the new 3-D patterns and retain them when cooling. …
Heat Treatment Whether lipstick or chocolate praline, hot air is ideal for refining food and cosmetic products and is used in many different ways. In the final step, Process Heat is used to make various products shine or otherwise refine them, such as roasting. The shine on chocolate or on cosmetic products such as lipstick …
Film Shrinking Hot air is ideal to shrink films and hoses. There are two main areas for this: Heat shrinking in packaging technology and heat shrinking in electrical engineering. Shrink films are often used for packaging. Basically, these are films stretched in the manufacturing process, which contract to their original shape when heated due to …
Drying Process Leister’s heat guns, air heaters, blowers, and infrared heaters are ideal for all kinds of drying processes. These devices are used in various drying applications. Examples of drying applications can be seen in the manufacturing of paper, textiles, nonwoven material, metals, plastics, and glass components, in film packaging, and in other applications related …
Welding Truck Tarpaulins Truck tarpaulins and event tents have to withstand wind and weather. During production, the focus is on economic efficiency. The material is generally made of durable PVC. In addition, the extremely resistant tarpaulin material is flame-retardant, robust and tear-resistant. Professionally processed, PVC truck tarpaulins are durable and weather resistant. Welding truck tarpaulins …
Welding Tents Party tents and festival tents have primarily been designed rectangularly. In addition to the classic circus tent, pagoda tents and hexadomes are gaining popularity as well. Flexible tents for events are easy to transport and can be quickly erected and dismantled, no matter where. Because they are foldable, they are also easy to …
