0 Introduction
The PG-18 heating welder is a device that welds thermoplastic round belts. Ends are joined by chamfer
welding: the ends of the belt are melted, pressing them against a precision-regulated hot welding plate.
After being suitably heated, the ends are pressed against each other with a set pressure and left to cool.
After the burr on the tip of the joint is removed with a blade or rectified, an excellent quality round belt is
obtained.
The PQ-18 welder is suited for on-site installation or for medium/small mass production in a workshop.
PQ-18 is used indistinctively to indicate models:
PQ-18/6 for 120 V power voltage
PQ-18/8 for 230 V power voltage
