Penweld 505-A: Professional Hot Gas Welding Gun with LED Work Light and 8-Meter Air Hose for Plastic Processing

Further information on compressed air for welding plastics:

In the plastic processing industry, compressed air is often used for various welding techniques.
Compressed air can fulfill several functions, depending on the specific welding process being applied.

• Hot Air Welding:
  In some plastic welding techniques, such as hot air welding, compressed air is used to direct heated air onto the plastic surfaces to be joined. The heated air melts the plastics and a solid weld seam is created after cooling.
• Ultrasonic Welding:
  In this process, compressed air is used to operate an ultrasonic transducer that generates vibrations. These vibrations cause friction and heating of the plastic surfaces, which leads to their fusion and the creation of a weld seam.
• Extrusion Welding:
  In some cases, compressed air is used to control the extrusion process. Molten plastic material is pressed out of a nozzle and shaped with compressed air to produce a welded joint.
  
  

Features:

• Precise Control:
  Compressed air systems for plastic welding often require precise control to ensure the necessary pressure and optimal air composition.
• Adaptability:
  The compressed air source should be adaptable to various welding techniques and plastic materials.
• Reliability:
  A reliable compressed air system is crucial to ensure consistent results in the welding process.
• Safety Features:
  Depending on the specific requirements of the welding application, safety features such as pressure regulators and safety valves may be incorporated.
  
  

It is important to note that the exact type of compressed air source and its functions depend heavily on the specific welding technology and the requirements of the plastic welding process.
