Plastic welding

Hot air welding

Hot air welding is a versatile technique for joining thermoplastic materials. Using a hot air welder, plastic parts are heated and joined, after which the material is added, thereby creating a tight weld. This method is popular for its versatility and ability to create strong and durable joints and is often used for smaller items or when stapling.

Application

Hot air welding is used across many industries. At Plast Solutions, the method is primarily applied in the repair and fabrication of plastic components. It is also effective in the production of tanks and piping systems that require watertight connections or tack welding before other welding processes.

Advantages

This method is cost-effective, requires minimal equipment, and is ideal for both large projects and minor repairs. Its portability also makes it practical for on-site work.

Electrofusion welding

Electrofusion welding, also known as electro socket welding, is a specialized technique for joining plastic components, especially in piping systems. This method uses electric heating elements built into the fittings, which melt the plastic and create a strong, homogeneous weld.

Application

Electrofusion welding is ideal for piping systems in aquaculture facilities, water supply, wastewater management, and gas distribution. The technique is used to connect pipes of various diameters and is particularly suitable for installations where precision and tightness are critical. It is also a preferred method for pipeline repairs or extensions.

Advantages

The advantage of electrofusion welding is its ability to create extremely strong and leak proof welds, which is vital for infrastructure that transports fluids or gases under pressure.
The original pressure rating of the pipe is maintained

Sheet butt welding

Sheet metal stamping is a technique for precise shaping of sheet metal materials that requires high and detailed precision. This method uses advanced tools and techniques to create custom-designed shapes and components from various sheet materials.

Application

In an industrial setting, sheet butt is primarily used for the custom production of tanks and wells tailored to specific purposes and dimensions. This technique is particularly important in the manufacture of custom solutions where standard sizes and shapes are insufficient. Sheet butt welding enables the precise design of complex constructions, which is essential in projects requiring non-standard dimensions.

Advantages

The main advantage of sheet butt welding lies in its ability to create customized, robust structures with high accuracy. The technique is ideal for situations where a combination of strength, durability and precision tolerances are required. This approach ensures that the finished tanks and wells are not only functional, but also meet the highest standards of quality and performance, which is essential in demanding industrial environments.

Socket fusion welding
Socket fusion welding is a technique that uses a cylindrical mandrel to expand the pipe ends, after which heat is applied to melt and join them. This method is unique as it combines mechanical expansion and thermal fusion, ensuring a precise and homogeneous connection of plastic components.

Application
The technique is often used to attach smaller studs to larger items such as sensors, pressure gauges, and similar devices. In addition, socket fusion welding is a recognized solution for joining pipes using specialized mandrel fittings. It is commonly applied in industries such as pharmaceuticals.

Advantages
Socket fusion welding with mandrel fittings ensures accurate and leak-proof connections between plastic parts, which is essential in environments where tightness and long-term durability are required. Compared to conventional welding methods, this technique reduces the risk of leaks and ensures a higher degree of consistency and reliability in the welds.
