Usage
Here are some of the applications you can use STEINEL hot air
tools for. This selection is by no means exhaustive – no doubt
you can immediately think of other examples.
Stripping paint: paint is softened and can be removed with a
stripping knife and paint scraper to leave a clean surface.
Applying heat-shrinkable tubings: The shrink tubing is
slipped over the section you want to insulate and heated with
hot air. The tubing shrinks by approx. 50% in diameter to give
a sealed union. Shrinking is particularly fast and even using
reflector nozzles. Sealing and stabilising cable breaks,
insulating soldered joints, gathering cable runs, sheathing
terminal blocks.
Shaping PVC: tiles, piping or ski boots can be softened and
formed with hot air.
Shaping: ski boots and sports shoes can be shaped for a
perfect fit.
Desoldering: electronic components are detached quickly
and neatly from circuit boards with a reduction nozzle.
Soft soldering: First, clean metal parts you want to join. Then,
using hot air, heat the point you want to solder and offer up the
soldering wire. Use flux or a soldering wire with a flux core to
prevent oxide forming.
Welding and joining plastic: all parts being welded must be
of the same plastic material. Use an appropriate welding rod.
Welding sheeting: The sheets are overlapped and welded
together. A slit nozzle is used to direct hot air under the
overlap, then the two sheets are firmly pressed together with
a feed roller.
Also possible: Repairing PVC tarpaulins by overlap welding
with a slit nozzle.
