FAQ
Questions you might want to know
What is an extrusion welder used for?
An extrusion welder is used for joining
thermoplastic materials like HDPE, PP, PVC, and PVDF. It is widely applied in
industries such as plastic tank fabrication, pipe welding, geomembrane sealing,
and chemical container manufacturing. This tool ensures strong, durable welds
for large plastic components.
How does an extrusion welder work?
An extrusion welder works by simultaneously
heating a plastic welding rod and the base material using a combination of hot
air and mechanical extrusion. The melted rod is then pressed into the prepared
welding seam, fusing the materials together as it cools. Proper control of
temperature, pressure, and speed is crucial for high-quality welds.
What materials can be welded with an extrusion welder?
Extrusion welders can weld various
thermoplastics, including:
HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) – Commonly
used for pipes, tanks, and geomembranes.
PP (Polypropylene) – Ideal for chemical
tanks and ventilation systems.
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) – Used in pipes,
flooring, and industrial applications.
PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride) – Highly
resistant to chemicals, used in specialized industries.
