Smooth leather seats with Leister hot-air technology

Author: Camilla Marchetti, Junior Marketing Specialist, Leister Technologies Italia Srl

Aras Italia, a company of the Italian Proma Group, has specialized in the development and manufacture of high-quality seats and upholstery for the automotive and marine industries since 1989. With wide-ranging solutions for seating systems and interior trims, Aras has also established itself in leather processing and technical textiles.

The company has trusted the quality and reliability of Leister products for over ten years, including the professional SOLANO AT hot air gun. This long-standing partnership is based on mutual trust and a high level of satisfaction.

High-quality technology for demanding processes

Manufacturing leather seats and upholstery for cars and boats is a technically demanding process. It requires precise selection of materials, specialized processing methods and the highest quality standards. Heat is used in this process to ensure visual perfection and for functional purposes, and to smooth out creases in the leather. The temperature of the hot air gun is fully adjustable from 50 to 650°C. However, the SOLANO AT from Leister is not only used for leather seats, but also for processing plastic parts in vehicle interiors.

Lightweight, quiet and safe

Weighing just 750 g, the SOLANO AT is comfortable and safe to use. The quiet running of the brushless motor ensures a pleasant working environment – a significant benefit, especially in enclosed spaces. For extra safety and to protect the material, Leister offers a practical plastic guard that can be easily attached to the device.

Precise parameter settings

All key parameters – such as temperature, air volume, Eco-Mode and automatic switch-off – can be optimally controlled via the SOLANO AT's keypad and digital display. In addition, the setting of a fixed temperature range enables constant conditions for particularly demanding applications.

Focus on sustainability – Eco-Mode

The SOLANO AT’s Eco-Mode, which can be conveniently activated via the display, reduces the motor speed following a period of inactivity without changing the temperature. The appliance returns to standard performance when it is used again. This saves up to 40% energy, reduces noise and extends the service life.

Investing in the future

Through continuous investment in research and development, Aras Italia manufactures long-lasting, first-class products for both the automotive and marine industries. The partnership with Leister supports this by ensuring the highest quality standards and innovative solutions in production.
