These intricate, relief-like patterns are achieved through the embossing process, which is essential for adding both aesthetic appeal and functional textures to materials. How Embossing Works Embossing involves creating raised or recessed designs on a material’s surface. To achieve this, the material is first heated, allowing it to become pliable enough to adopt new 3D patterns. Once heated, the material is passed through an engraved roller, which imprints the desired texture. As the material cools, it retains the embossed design, creating a durable and visually appealing finish. In the production of large-scale, multi-layer plastic textiles—such as synthetic leather, tarpaulins, and floor coverings—heat plays a crucial role at various stages. The final embossing step is particularly important, where the surface structure, like the grain of faux leather, is created. Precise temperature control is critical to ensure a uniform pattern across the entire width of the material. Leister’s KRELUS IR heater field, designed modularly with individually controllable heater groups, delivers precise and consistent surface temperatures, ensuring optimal embossing results. Embossing Synthetic leather Synthetic leather, also known as faux leather, typically consists of multiple layers, including a base fabric and a decorative plastic layer, often made of PVC or polyurethane. During the embossing process, the upper layers are heated and then pressed with an engraved roller to create specific surface textures. These textures can imitate natural materials like leather or wood with remarkable realism or introduce functional designs for added utility. Faux leather offers numerous advantages over genuine leather. Beyond ethical considerations, it is more cost-effective to produce, easier to clean, and available in large quantities, making it a practical choice for the textile industry. <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="655" height="322" src="https://weldheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/2-10.png" class="attachment-large size-large wp-image-2432" alt="" srcset="https://weldheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/2-10.png 655w, https://weldheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/2-10-600x295.png 600w, https://weldheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/2-10-300x147.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 655px) 100vw, 655px" /> Embossing decorative layers <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="607" height="332" src="https://weldheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/3-8.png" class="attachment-large size-large wp-image-2433" alt="" srcset="https://weldheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/3-8.png 607w, https://weldheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/3-8-600x328.png 600w, https://weldheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/3-8-300x164.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 607px) 100vw, 607px" /> Embossing is also widely used in the production of decorative layers for wallpaper, floor coverings, and interior design elements.

In the final step, Process Heat is used to make various products shine or otherwise refine them, such as roasting. The shine on chocolate or on cosmetic products such as lipstick is often created using hot air blowers. Hot air can even be used to gently process, i.e. roast, coffee beans. Hot Air Treatment In the manufacturing of lipsticks, the various substances such as wetting agents, mostly consisting of a plant-based gel; wax such as carnauba or beeswax; and pigments, often made from iron oxide, are mixed together and melted. In one of the last steps of the shining process, the surface of the lipstick is heated with hot air generated by a hot air blower. This gives lipstick its characteristic, seductive shine before it is closed with a lid and finally packaged. In chocolate pralines the ingredients are different, but the process in the production line is the same. Hot air blowers are used to slightly heat the matte chocolate surface, giving it a shiny finish. <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="603" height="336" src="https://weldheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/6-1.png" class="attachment-large size-large wp-image-2420" alt="" srcset="https://weldheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/6-1.png 603w, https://weldheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/6-1-600x334.png 600w, https://weldheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/6-1-300x167.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 603px) 100vw, 603px" /> Roast Coffee Coffee usually comes as raw beans from the country of origin. Either in the classic jute bags or as bulk goods in containers. The beans are only roasted in the destination country. Roasting turns the red fruit with a green coffee core into the well-known brown coffee bean. The roasting process itself takes place at temperatures between 200°C and 400°C or 392 °F and 752 °F, depending on how quickly the roasting process should be completed and roaster dimensions. The heat causes the bean to change colour from green to dark brown. The bean’s own weight can be reduced by up to almost 20 % (also known as burnt-in). In this process the beans are roasted with a stream of hot air – generated by Leister hot air blowers.

There are two main areas for this: Heat shrinking in packaging technology and heat shrinking in electrical engineering. Shrink films are often used for packaging. Basically, these are films stretched in the manufacturing process, which contract to their original shape when heated due to the so-called memory effect. Shrinking packaging film In the food and beverage industry, a tubular shrink film is usually placed around the product to be packaged. When it is subsequently heated with hot air, the film contracts until it is tightly wrapped around the packaged product. This process is used for small products, such as lipsticks, as well as entire pallets that have been loaded with goods. Hot air shrinking is also widely used in beverage packaging applications. Instead of having a label applied to them, individual bottles are often wrapped in a decorative “sleeve.” This may only cover part of the bottle or even extend through the entire height. Another typical application is the use of shrink film to create a pack that ranges from six to 24 bottles or cans. Shrink-on caps are placed over the opening of wine bottles (screw tops or corks) to protect them against contamination, as well as decorative purposes. When these preformed caps are exposed to hot air, they shrink tightly around the neck of the bottle and closure. Packaging and shrink wrapping products In logistics, specifically transport pallet logistics, the goods are held together and secured on pallets with polyethylene shrink film. This type of transport packaging via wooden or plastic pallet is standard and is particularly suitable for fast packing and shipping of containers. <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="610" height="335" src="https://weldheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/3-7.png" class="attachment-large size-large wp-image-2406" alt="" srcset="https://weldheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/3-7.png 610w, https://weldheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/3-7-600x330.png 600w, https://weldheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/3-7-300x165.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 610px) 100vw, 610px" /> This thin packaging film can be purchased inexpensively and it’s easy to recycle. The use of transparent shrink film also allows goods to be examined without having to open the packaging. In addition, the goods are better protected against weather exposure, soiling and damage. Containers are most often packaged and shipped in this manner and then end up at the retailer for the final sale. This can be canned goods or beverages for the food industry or filled paint buckets, varnishes, garden soil for the home-improvement market. All possible goods found in wholesale and retail trade are packed in such a manner that they can be transported on pallets or in bundles. Protect vehicles Winter protection, for example of motor and sailing boats, is also possible with a shrink film. With a hot air blower, the dry-docked boat is quickly covered with a polyethylene shrink film and thus protected from the weather, salt water and pollution from bird droppings. Various vehicles can also be temporarily protected with shrink film for transport purposes. Examples of this are the transport of new cars, which are transported to the destination country on trucks and trains, or the transport of large sailing yachts on the motorway across Europe from one sea to another. To prevent B. New cars and yachts are not heavily soiled on the road and are better protected from minor damage such as stone chips or scratches, they are usually shrink-wrapped with PE shrink films before transport. This is not to be confused with vehicle wrapping, which involves the precise application of film to paint. The colored film used here can hardly be distinguished from paint afterwards and is often used for advertising purposes. Information on this can be found under the expertise “Vehicle Wrapping”. <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="602" height="336" src="https://weldheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/4-9.png" class="attachment-large size-large wp-image-2407" alt="" srcset="https://weldheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/4-9.png 602w, https://weldheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/4-9-600x335.png 600w, https://weldheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/4-9-300x167.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 602px) 100vw, 602px" />

Drying in Processing Users can vary the air distribution and flow rate according to the desired drying results. This involves adapting parameters, such as the temperature and air volume, and utilizing different nozzles. Drying with hot air causes two physical effects to occur at the same time. Together, they further increase the efficiency of the drying process. Firstly, hot air can hold considerably more moisture than cold air. Secondly, the continuous current of air that passes over the wet surface increases the rate of evaporation, particularly if fresh, dry air is always used. To make the drying process even more efficient, hot air is often used to blow off any stray drops of moisture on the surface before drying begins. Leister has a solution for this too, offering a blow-off nozzle specially developed for this purpose and the powerful AIRPACK blower. <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="602" height="333" src="https://weldheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/5.png" class="attachment-large size-large wp-image-2392" alt="" srcset="https://weldheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/5.png 602w, https://weldheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/5-600x332.png 600w, https://weldheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/5-300x166.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 602px) 100vw, 602px" /> Drying with Infrared Truck tarpaulins can be cut open almost silently with a knife, allowing cargo to be stolen unnoticed by the driver, e.g. by the driver B. during rest periods. Just like the sun, the drying effect of infrared heaters is caused by infrared rays. Thanks to direct heat transfer, drying paint and dye on metal, plastics, wood, and textiles is an immediate and dust-free process. Infrared heaters are used in the textiles industry, in fabrication prosesses of nonwoven and other fabric materials as well as in paper manufacturing and in printing machines. The medium infrared radiation from Leister infrared heaters is also effectively absorbed by water. In doing so, the infrared heating directly heats the water, making the drying process even more efficient. Drying with Infrared With their broad range of application, heat guns are used for drying processes not only in automobile manufacturing assembly plants, where, for example, scratches in the paintwork are repaired and quickly dried with hot air, but also in craft businesses or by hobby crafters in their home workshops. Leister and Weldy’s heat guns can be used for any application where hot air is needed. <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="606" height="331" src="https://weldheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/7.png" class="attachment-large size-large wp-image-2394" alt="" srcset="https://weldheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/7.png 606w, https://weldheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/7-600x328.png 600w, https://weldheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/7-300x164.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 606px) 100vw, 606px" />

Welding truck tarpaulins Every day, tons of goods are transported on the roads by truck and by large and small vans. Truck tarpaulins need to be practical, secure the load in an optimal way, and be customizable. Transport companies often have different requirements for their truck flats, whether in terms of appearance or function. They are usually produced by hand. Depending on the vehicle equipment, standard soft top and side curtain systems, also known as side curtain, sliding tarpaulins, rolling tarpaulins and central tubular tarpaulins, are produced to enable the goods to be loaded, transported, and unloaded in the best possible way. The printing of the tarpaulin with the company logo or corresponding advertising completes the order. With welding machines and hot air blowers from Leister, commercial vehicles are optimally and efficiently equipped with suitable tarpaulins. <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="848" height="480" src="https://weldheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Synthetic2-logistics.png" class="attachment-large size-large wp-image-1423" alt="" srcset="https://weldheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Synthetic2-logistics.png 848w, https://weldheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Synthetic2-logistics-600x340.png 600w, https://weldheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Synthetic2-logistics-300x170.png 300w, https://weldheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Synthetic2-logistics-768x435.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 848px) 100vw, 848px" /> Securing a truck load Truck tarpaulins can be cut open almost silently with a knife, allowing cargo to be stolen unnoticed by the driver, e.g. by the driver B. during rest periods. <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="607" height="336" src="https://weldheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/4-8.png" class="attachment-large size-large wp-image-2378" alt="" srcset="https://weldheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/4-8.png 607w, https://weldheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/4-8-600x332.png 600w, https://weldheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/4-8-300x166.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 607px) 100vw, 607px" /> However, if the truck tarpaulin is reinforced with so-called “anti-vandalism bands,” theft is much more difficult. Leister offers a suitable tape welding machine for reinforcing the truck tarpaulin with anti-vandalism tape. The investment is definitely worth it: According to TIS (the General Association of the German Insurance Industry), 10 to 15 billion euros worth of vehicles and cargo are stolen every year in Europe alone.

In addition to the classic circus tent, pagoda tents and hexadomes are gaining popularity as well. Flexible tents for events are easy to transport and can be quickly erected and dismantled, no matter where. Because they are foldable, they are also easy to store. The roof and the side panels are made of tarpaulin material, the floor is made of wood, PVC or other heavy duty floor materials when needed. These tent constructions are erected at the destination and anchored with pegs or weighted stones. Tent windows can be made of PVC or even glass. Wind speeds of 80-100 km/h or 50-62 mph are taken into account as standard in the manufacture of large event tents. Whether beer festival or wedding – the tents protect the visitors and guests safely from nature’s harsh elements. Welding tents Welding perfect, tight seams is essential, especially for mobile tent construction. The tent variants, which are often made to customer specifications, should be durable and welded watertight. Welding machines must be able to produce tents in various shapes in addition to the standard rectangular shape. Using the right design and tools, event tents are produced as the perfect setting for every event. Whether it is a cultural event in the city, a wedding in the forest or a corporate event held on company premises. Leister welding machines not only work efficiently, they also weld nearly every imaginable tent shape. <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="608" height="337" src="https://weldheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Synthetic-tent2.png" class="attachment-large size-large wp-image-1403" alt="" srcset="https://weldheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Synthetic-tent2.png 608w, https://weldheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Synthetic-tent2-600x333.png 600w, https://weldheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Synthetic-tent2-300x166.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 608px) 100vw, 608px" />
