Hot Plate Plastic Welding Machine

Hot-plate welding is the process of welding two plastic parts together using a heated tooling plate. A weld rib or bead on each component is brought into contact with the hot plate. Heat conducts into the weld rib causing it to melt.Hot plate welding, also called heated tool welding, is a thermal welding technique for joining thermoplastics. A heated tool is placed against or near the two surfaces to be joined in order to melt them. Then, the heat source is removed, and the surfaces are brought together under pressure.Hot gas welding, also known as hot air welding, is a plastic welding technique using heat. A specially designed heat gun, called a hot air welder, produces a jet of hot air that softens both the parts to be joined and a plastic filler rod, all of which must be of the same or a very similar plastic.Thermoplastic materials are by their very nature heat sensitive. Using this technology material melting occurs as the result of direct contact with an heated plate whose temperature is controlled electronically.Included in most plastic welding processes are devices that hold the plastics components together so that a complete bond can be formed as the heat is added to the weld joint. Plastics welding is used for the joining of plastics pieces but also to repair cracks.A "hot plate" is defined as a device with a flat surface and an internal electric heating element that is used for cooking or heating food.
