Rotary hot air welding is a controlled and constant flowing process with speeds ranging from
.8 – 72 feet per minute (0.25 – 22 meters per minute), accommodating long fast seams or
slow intricate seams. Unlike dialectic welders which have been in use now for about 40
years, the SEAMTEK 36 can produce a wide variety of three-dimensional products. The
SEAMTEK 36 is fully shielded from RF radiation and works well as a compliment to RF
welding.
1.4 Operating Principle
In operation, the SEAMTEK 36 directs a stream of hot air (from 200 to 1300 ° F, 35°C - 700°C)
onto the joining surfaces of the coated fabric pattern pieces, which then roll between two drive
wheels where pressure is applied and the seam is welded.
