PLASTIC FABRICATION

Precise and leak-proof

Plastic tanks and containers made of thermoplastics are joined (welded) together using heat and pressure. The quality of the weld is greatly affected by the selection of the machine used. Leister extrusion welders and heat guns are particularly popular due to their welding consistency and process safety.

Where Leister welding equipment comes into its own

CONTAINERS AND TANKS

Chemistry

For the chemical industry, leak-proof and secure tanks and containers are preferably made of plastic. Depending on the storage system used, they have significant advantages compared to metallic materials and impress with their ease of maintenance.

Galvanic processes are usually carried out using aggressive chemicals. The containers for such baths must not only withstand the contents, but also be resistant against thermal and electrical influences.

PLASTIC REPAIRS

Recycling and disposal

In contrast to many other substances and materials, thermoplastics can be repaired particularly well. If repairs are carried out professionally, even the original functionality can be fully restored. For example, plastic waste containers that show signs of wear over time are repaired with Leister extruders and are then absolutely leak-proof, making them ready for use again. Repairing plastic containers saves money, protects the environment and uses fewer natural resources such as crude oil. In addition, containers made of HDPE, for example, can be completely recycled.

Application Areas

Boat Construction and Repair

Thanks to the large selection of hand-held extruders, welding machines and heat guns, manufacturing and repairing plastic boats, inflatable boats, ballasts and freshwater tanks made from foil membrane can be done with ease. Depending on the material of the boat, LEISTER’s heat guns have a wide range of potential applications.

Welding of Pipes and Pipelines

Extruders and hot-air hand tools from Leister weld and connect HDPE pipes in all sizes permanently and safely - from sewage pipes to pipelines several kilometers long. The expertise here clearly lies in the permanent and reliable welding of plastic elements with hand extruders from Leister. Because these pipes and tanks carry liquids and gases, they must be protected from external damage and welded tightly so that they do not leak.

Plastic Repairs

Many different plastics can be repaired with warm air. This includes children's slides, waste containers made of hard plastic, bumpers and many more. Simply check the type of plastic and weld with hot air. Extrusion welding machines and handy hot air blowers from Leister are suitable for this purpose.

Plastic Tank Fabrication

Hand extruders are designed for extrusion welding in the performance classes 0.2 to 6 kg/h or 4.4 to 13 lb/h output. In addition, the ergonomic hand tools are ideal for tacking, draw-welding and heating the plastic. Leister’s handheld extruders are used all over the world. Their handiness, unique technical features such as the multifunctional control panel and their proverbial reliability make them indispensable for users all over the world.
