A plastic welder — sometimes called a plastic welding gun, hot-air welder, or plastic welding tool — is the hand-held tool that supplies hot air to fuse two pieces of thermoplastic together. The Plastic Welding Tools range covers everything from compact tools for occasional repairs through to high-output industrial welders used by professional fabricators every day.

Every welder in the range is built to commercial duty cycles and engineered for the kinds of polypropylene, PVC, polyethylene and ABS work common in Australian workshops:

Techspan Rion — the most popular general-purpose hot-air welder. Reliable, digitally temperature-controlled, ideal for automotive bumper repairs and small fabrication.
Techspan Triac and Triac S — the heavy-duty workhorse for fabrication shops welding tank linings, polypropylene ducting, and HDPE pipe.
Leister hot-air tools — the original hot-air plastic welder, the standard against which others are measured.
Hot air blowers and heating elements — for process heating, shrinking, drying and large-area soft heating.

Choose a welder based on the plastic you’re working on, the wall thickness, and how often you’ll use it. Light occasional work (bumper repair, hobby) is well-served by the Rion. Daily commercial fabrication of structural welds needs the higher airflow and duty cycle of the Triac S or equivalent.

Every welder ships with an Australian power lead and the standard speed nozzle for round welding rod. Replacement heating elements, carbon brushes and accessories are supported in Australia.
