Description
Leister COMET 500 60mm Hot Wedge Welder 230V 2300W with optional Test Channel
The all new COMET 500 geomembrane hot wedge welder from Leister introduces faster welding performance, quicker setting up times and optimised handling.
All of this is designed to speed up production: welding speeds of up to 8m/min, without swapping gears, are now possible (up from 3.2m/min on the previous machines) and to accommodate this maximum welding temperature has risen to 460ºC (up from 420ºC) as has the power output (2300w from 1200-1850W).
Handling on the new geomembrane welding machine has also been improved, starting with the way the wedge is designed and deployed onto the material. Previously the wedge had to be manually moved into position between the sheets to be welded, leading to issues of the wedge catching the material as it was being moved or not being seated fully into postion. Now the new wedge is automatically positioned by the machine and no lateral movement of the wedge is required. This means a faster wedge deployment, which is also more consistent and less prone to error.
The grab handles have also been redesigned to make holding and maneouvering the welder much easier and controllable.
New to the COMET 500 (& 700) is the option of 45mm drive rollers designed to improve welding of structured material and allowing more pressure to be applied to the weld. The new 45mm rollers come in both sharp and blunt grip versions which also include options for a 90º or 45º test channel shoulder.
Many of the accessories for the TWINNY T7 & T5 are shared with the new COMET 700 & 500 machines, including guide bars, rollers and various application kits (e.g. indoor, field, zero overlap and a new drive roller extension kit for stabilising smooth material like thin PVC).
The new COMET 500 weighs in at 9.2 kg, heavier than the previous COMET, but the new machine is far more capable in the demandingly harsh environments such as welding linings and geotextiles for landfill sites and caps and mining.
Two COMET machines will remain in the line up specificaaly for tunnelling applications.
The COMET 500 does not include a recording capability, this is only available with the new COMET 700. It is also only available in 230V.
