Leister Technologies AG presents new products at the K-messe

At this year's K-Messe, Leister will exhibit new welding equipment, automatic welding machines, air heaters and powerful infrared radiators for welding, joining and heating plastics. Experts from various Leister specialist units will demonstrate the devices and explain how they work. K-Messe visitors will be able to test the welding devices and automatic welding machines at the Leister stand.

Leister Plastic Fabrication, Roofing & Flooring (PRF) business line professionals have developed the UNIDRIVE 500, a new semi-automatic hot-air welder for sealing flat and pitched roofs. With its dual drive and a nozzle rotates from left to right, the UNIDRIVE 500 is especially suitable for welding close to the edge and where space is limited.

UNIPLAN 300 and UNIPLAN 500 are a new kind of automatic welder developed by the Leister Technical Textiles & Industrial Fabrics (TEX) business line and are used for overlap, seam and piping welding of advertising banners, tents and truck tarpaulins. The numbers 300 and 500 represent the two performance classes in which this automatic welder has been available since mid-August.

TWINNY T5 and TWINNY T7 are two new automatic welders developed by the Leister GEO (Geomembranes) business line. They have been designed for welding geomembranes ranging between 0.5 and 2.5 millimeters in thickness. The automatic welders are distinguished by their ease of use. Moreover, their large castors make them suitable for working on uneven surfaces. T5 and T7 stand for the two performance classes in which the automatic welder has been sold since mid-August.

Significant changes have recently occurred in the production of beverage cartons (Tetra Paks). The fossil fuels used to date are gradually being replaced by electricity generated from sustainable sources.

Leister takes this environmentally conscious trend into account and offers highly efficient electric hot-air systems for welding the longitudinal seam of beverage cartons. Also known as sealing units, these systems replace the gas burners previously used. Welding with hot air also offers another advantage: it prevents oxidation of polyethylene along the weld.

Powerful Infrared Heating Solutions for Industrial Applications

With more than 40 years of experience in developing customized infrared heating solutions, the Leister Group delivers highly efficient infrared technology for demanding industrial applications. The infrared heaters transfer heat directly to the product, while integrated film technology minimizes heat loss at the rear, eliminating the need for cooling. Because no glass or ceramic elements need to be heated, the system responds extremely quickly, enabling precise temperature control, rapid heating and cooling, and lower energy consumption. At K, the Leister Group will present its portfolio of modular and customized infrared heating solutions.
