Functional description
• Heating system
→
The hot air temperature is steplessly adjustable and eletronically controlled. It is a floating
hot wedge. (Illustration A) .
• Welding pressure
→
infinitely variable (steplessly adjustable). The welding pressure is transmitted via a toggle
lever to the pressure rollers. The swivel head guarantees the equalization of the pressure to both welded
sections (c and d) as well as on a welded seam without test channel (Illustration B) .
This allows T-joints to be welded easily. During the welding process the pressure adjusts itself linearly to the
change in material thickness of the geomembrane liners.
• Drive
→
The welding speed is adjustable and electronically controlled in steps of 0.1 m/min / feet. Digital display
of SET and ACTUAL values. The power transmission works through a three stage planetary gear.
Adjusting of the guide rollers for the requested material thickness (Illustration A).
• Adjustments may only be made to the hot-wedge (8) after it has cooled down.
• Engage the automatic wedge-welding machine on the geomembrane liner or film to be welded.
• Stretch the
lever (9) (Illustration C).
• Loosen the hexagon cap screw of the rear guide roller (19).
• The distance between the hot wedge (8) and the rear guide roller (19) should be the thickness of the material
and the sharp tongue of the wedge should lie centrically to the pressure rollers (20/21).
• Tighten the hexagon cap screw of the rear guide roller (19).
• Loosen the hexagon cap screw of the front guide roller (18).
• The distance between hot wedge (8) and front guide roller (18) should be about 1 mm.
• Tighten the hexagon cap screw of the front guide roller (18).
