Industrial hot wedge welding
Often paired with industrial hot air welding technology, hot wedge welding reduces costs, improves efficiency and increases overall product quality. Both mend together thermoplastic materials to create airtight and watertight seams, as well as curved and straight seams, to create strong, durable products.
While industrial hot wedge welding provides manufacturers with undeniable benefits, one application may work better than the other. To help you decide whether it’s time to invest in a hot wedge welding solution, we’ve outlined key benefits, applications and more below.
Industrial hot wedge welding technology offers specific benefits, dependent on each application. However, this technology is designed to increase production speed, enhance quality and improve overall consistency of products, specifically those that require a long, straight seam.
Consider the following benefits of an industrial hot wedge welding solution
Industrial hot wedge technology is often used to create a product made of films, coated materials, laminated materials and/or in need of a long, straight seam. Products that benefit from hot wedge technology range in size and thickness, but all have the same goal in mind: sturdy and long-lasting materials.
Products that often benefit the most from using hot wedge welding technology are:
When evaluating your welding needs, it’s also crucial to determine if your materials are weldable using hot wedge welding technology. Industrial thermoplastic fabrics and films are typically ideal for hot wedge welding, including:
Finding the right industrial hot wedge solution will depend on a variety of factors, such as materials, existing processes and current equipment. When vetting your available technology options, work closely with an experienced industrial welding expert to meet your goals and customize your solution.
Consider the following technology options during your vetting process:
When evaluating technology options, also ask yourself and your manufacturing partner the following questions:
