Applications
Shrink tubing on cables:
The shrink tubing is slipped over the section you want to insulate and heated with hot air. The tubing shrinks by
approx. 50% in diameter to give a sealed union. Shrinking is particularly fast and even using reflector nozzles.
Sealing and stabilizing cable breaks, insulating soldered joints, gathering cable runs, sheathing terminal blocks.
Forming PVC:
Sheeting, piping or ski boots can be softened and formed with hot air.
Thawing:
Water pipes, frozen door locks, steps. Gently thaws and dries all in one go.
Soldering:
First, clean metal parts you want to join. Then, using hot air, heat the point you want to solder and offer up the
soldering wire. Use flux or a soldering wire with a flux core to prevent oxide forming.
Welding and joining plastic:
All parts being welded must be of the same plastic material. Use an appropriate welding rod.
Joining plastic sheeting:
The sheets are overlapped and welded together. A slit nozzle is used to direct hot air under the overlap, then the
two sheets are firmly pressed together with a feed roller.
Also possible: Repairing PVC tarpaulins by overlap welding with a slit nozzle.
Shaping:
Ski boots and sports shoes can be shaped for a perfect fit.
Desoldering:
Electronic components are detached quickly and neatly from circuit boards with a reduction nozzle.
Welding sheeting:
The sheets are overlapped and welded together. A slit nozzle is used to direct hot air under the overlap, then the
two sheets are firmly pressed together with a feed roller.
Also possible: Repairing PVC tarpaulins by overlap welding with a slit nozzle.
