Watertight and Airtight Welding for Curved and Shaped Applications


Miller Weldmaster is a leading creator of hot air welding machines for inflatable tents, military attack boats, 2D or 3D inflatables, and tanks and bladders. These machines are also used for manufacturing air balloons, which require precise heat and pressure settings for effective seam construction. Hot air welding allows customers to speed up production to meet demand while ensuring strong, long-lasting seams. The specialized design, including the curve arm, enables welding of curved seams and unique shapes, enhancing the machine's versatility.

These machines have an expanded range of applications, effectively creating and sealing various types of seams and constructs. They help produce a variety of inflatable products, such as inflatable boats, tents, and other thermoplastic fabric items. Additionally, they are capable of creating watertight seams in inflatable swimming pools and rubber boats.

The importance of welded seams in manufacturing inflatable boats cannot be overstated, as they ensure durability and prevent failures. These machines also excel in welding hems, catering to the needs of manufacturers focused on waterproof and durable constructions.

Hot Air Technology

Hot air technology can weld any thermoplastic materials. Our hot air welding machine is specifically designed for fabricating inflatable products such as boats and tents, offering efficiency, durability, and versatility in producing watertight and airtight seams using different materials.

The top and bottom weld rollers are independently controlled, allowing for enhanced precision and versatility in producing a broader range of products and materials, such as curved or uniquely shaped items.

With three-dimensional products that need to withstand high impact and high abrasion, seam strength is very important. Certain temperatures will compromise glued seams, but with hot air welding, you get airtight and watertight straight seams, essential for ensuring the integrity and performance of outdoor products.

Additionally, our welding machines feature a 3-inch Panasonic touch screen that displays various operational data, emphasizing ease of use and advanced technology.

Our welding machine also lowers production costs.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hot Air Welding Machines for Inflatables

Which machine would I use to weld a Rib boat together or general inflatables?

The T300/T600 Curve Hot Air machine is ideal for the construction and repair of an inflatable boat. Either machine will give you the freedom or ability to weld virtually any shape or size that your product is in need of. The curve arm manages curves in inflatable boats, ensuring durable and watertight seams.

Do I need to tape over the seams after welding the inflatable?

Depending on the material that you are using, to prevent wicking within the material, we recommend that you tape over the seam using the T300/T600.

Do I need only one machine to make an inflatable?

Typically, by using the combination of the T300/T600 and the Rflex Radio Frequency machine, you will be able to manufacture your entire boat. The T300/T600 to weld the body of the boat and the RFlex to weld the Valves, handles, ports, etc.
