Fabricators Welding Tools

Wegener has been making top quality hand and machine tools for the fabrication of thermoplastics since the early 1960s.

The program has been continuously enhanced and adapted to increasing quality requirements so that now there are matching tool and accessories for almost any application.

Wegener hot gas welding

Hot gas welding is one of the most important and oldest procedure for thermoplastic welding and is usually used for fusion welding of PE, PP, PVDF and PVC. However it is not recommended to join different types of thermoplastics by hot gas welding. It is mostly used to join pre-cut parts from sheets for construction of containers, boxes, channels, ducts, and floor coverings.

There are many further fields of applications, such as:
* Heating of plastic semi-finished products for forming and bending
* Drying of non-flammable humid surfaces
* Removal of paint and varnish
* Dissolving of solvent free melted adhesive joints
* Hot air generation in machines and tools

We can provide you with the matching hand welding tools for any application. The range of hot gas welding torches has also been designed in compliance with the DVS guidelines. Renowned for reliability, even under conditions of continuous use, the Wegener hot gas welding torches are available to buy or rent from IPS. For more details click here
