PLASTIC FABRICATION

Precise, Leak-Proof Solutions

In plastic fabrication, creating secure, leak-proof joints in thermoplastic tanks and containers requires the precise application of heat and pressure. The quality of the weld is heavily influenced by the welding equipment used. Leister’s extrusion welders and heat guns are widely trusted for their consistent performance and process safety, making them the go-to choice for professionals in the field.

INDUSTRIES We Serve

Where Leister Welding Equipment Shines

CONTAINERS AND TANKS

Chemistry Industry

In the chemical industry, plastic tanks and containers are favored for their leak-proof construction and durability. These plastic solutions offer significant advantages over metallic alternatives, particularly in terms of ease of maintenance and resistance to aggressive chemicals.

Leister’s welding equipment ensures that these containers can withstand thermal and electrical stresses while maintaining their structural integrity, making them ideal for galvanic processes and other demanding chemical applications.

PLASTIC REPAIRS

Recycling and disposal

Thermoplastics stand out for their exceptional repairability. With Leister’s extrusion welders, even heavily worn plastic containers can be restored to their original, leak-proof condition. This capability not only extends the life of plastic products, but also provides significant cost savings, reduces environmental impact, and conserves natural resources. For instance, HDPE containers, once repaired, can continue to serve reliably and can be fully recycled at the end of their lifecycle.

Application Areas

Boat Construction and Repair

Leister’s extensive range of handheld extruders, welding machines, and heat guns make it easy to manufacture and repair plastic boats, inflatable boats, ballasts, and freshwater tanks. No matter the material, our tools provide the versatility and precision needed for effective plastic fabrication in marine applications.

Welding of Pipes and Pipelines

Leister’s extruders and hot-air hand tools are perfect for welding and connecting HDPE pipes of all sizes, from small sewage lines to extensive pipelines. The reliable, permanent welds they create are essential for preventing leaks in pipes that carry liquids and gases, ensuring both safety and durability.

Plastic Repairs

Many types of plastic can be efficiently repaired using hot air. Whether it’s children’s slides, waste containers, bumpers, or other hard plastic items, Leister’s extrusion welders and hot air blowers are up to the task, providing strong, reliable repairs that restore functionality and extend the lifespan of plastic products.

Plastic Tank Fabrication

Leister’s hand extruders are essential for plastic tank fabrication, offering output capacities from 0.2 to 6 kg/h (4.4 to 13 lb/h). These ergonomic, reliable tools are ideal for tacking, draw-welding, and heating plastic materials, making them indispensable for professionals worldwide.
