Shrink Tubing Shrink tubing is a versatile tool for insulating or marking cables, commonly used in both home settings by DIY electricians and in industrial cable harness production. These special plastic tubes, known as heat shrink tubes, contract significantly when exposed to heat, providing protection against mechanical damage and offering electrical insulation. The most widely …
Thermoforming Process Thermoforming is a highly effective technique for transforming flat plastic sheets into three-dimensional forms. By uniformly heating the plastic, it becomes pliable enough to be molded either through vacuum deep drawing or by using a closed mold with a press. This process is ideal for creating durable, permanently reshaped plastic components. How Thermoforming …
Laminating Process Lamination is a bonding process that involves combining multiple layers of materials to create a fixed, inseparable bond. This process enhances the mechanical and thermal properties of the final product by merging the unique characteristics of each layer. Laminating can be done with or without binding agents, using various methods depending on the …
Sterilization Process Sterilization procedures involve the complete eradication of microorganisms and bacteria, making it essential for equipment used in food processing, medicine, and microbiology. In food preservation, sterilization is achieved at temperatures exceeding 100°C. Sterilization with hot air Unlike sterilization, pasteurization involves heating food to temperatures below 100°C to extend its shelf life by killing …
Embossing Process From car dashboards to synthetic leather handbags with realistic animal hide textures, coated fabrics are integral to many aspects of daily life. These intricate, relief-like patterns are achieved through the embossing process, which is essential for adding both aesthetic appeal and functional textures to materials. How Embossing Works Embossing involves creating raised or …
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 …
