Hot-gas welding. Progress for your success
– Pöppelmann K-TECH∏.
Particle-free and high-strength welding
seam joints – plastic technology without
compromise.
Nowadays, technical plastic parts
have to meet a lot of complicated
requirements. Besides the design
challenges, increasing cleanliness
requirements for media-carrying
components are a particularly
important task.
This avoids thermal damage to the
plastic. Besides the cleanliness, this
method has the additional benefit of
producing high-strength welded joints.
Another plus: The hot-gas welding
method can be used for a large variety
of technical materials.
For this reason, Pöppelmann K-TECH∏
manufactures these components
using the hot-gas welding method.
The process has special advantages:
In contrast to mechanical welding, this
thermal welding method is particle
free. The use of inert gas in the area of
the welding seam avoids oxidation of
the material.
This method is particularly suitable for
media-bearing (air, oil or water) plastic
components. The hot-gas welding
method is the only way to accomplish
a high-strength, homogeneous and
particle-free thermal welding on a large
variety of high-quality thermoplastics.
This produces excellent results,
especially during welding of polyamides.
Advantages of hot-gas welding:
Particle-free, thermal welding of plastic
parts.
No oxidation in the area around the
welding seam.
High-tensile welded joints.
Can be used for a large variety of
technical materials.
No mechanical stress on the processed pieces.
Touch-free, thermal heating of the joint zone.
Examples of particle-free and high-tensile
welding seam joints
Oil suction pipe with washer. It would be impossible to produce
this item using compact injection moulding. As a 2-part, cleanly
welded component it offers an effective and economical alternative.
Besides this, a metal sleeve and a washer are integrated reliably as
early as during injection moulding.
Oil displacer. When used in series, this complex plastic component
is fully immersed in oil inside the engine. Compulsory: a high-tensile
welding seam meeting the highest demands on cleanliness. The
Pöppelmann solution: The welding seam is used to guide the outer
weld flash into the component.

Advantages of the Pöppelmann hot-gas welding method:
Significantly reduced design times: One-stop component design and
series production.
Success in series: Pöppelmann K-TECH∏ has extensive experience in
handling a variety of materials and tool requirements.
Support right from the start: As early as in the design phase, important
structural features are analysed, including the geometry of the welding
seams, to reduce tool costs.
Improved welding seam geometries: for example, building shadow gaps
directly into the component to cover the welding seam.
Fully furnished plant: Due to the existing series applications, the required
periphery is already in place.
Process reliability: Pöppelmann K-TECH∏ is in control of the steps required
across all project stages – from design to production.
