04. PRODUCT INTRODUCTION / INTENDED USE / CONFORMITY DECLARATION
HOTAIR WELDING
Hotair welding machines are typically used to strengthen and seal seams in the textile and leather
industry.
The innovation of the VETRON hotair welding machine is based on the development of a new air he-
ater in combination with consistent reduction of heat losses and a newly designed air nozzle. The air
supply can be stopped at any time without damage of the heater. The nanoporous thermal insulation
and the optimization of the air channel are also reducing energy losses.
The new designed nozzle optimizes the energy transfer to the tape. As a result, the required amount
of hot air could be reduced to a fraction.
Comparison tests revealed a possible ENERGY SAVING OF MORE THAN 90% compared to previous systems!
Typical field of application:
Outdoor Tent
INTENDED USE!
Any use not approved by the manufacturer is considered improper! Proper use also includes
compliance with the prescribed operating, adjustment, maintenance and repair measures.
Damage due to non-intended use is not covered by the manufacturer‘s liability.
The VETRON 5374 and its subclasses are hot air welding machines for continuous seam sealing in
water repellent, waterproof and breathable materials.
CE-CONFORMITY DECLARATION
All VETRON machines comply with the applicable European regulations of relevant basic health and
safety requirements, which are specified in the declaration of conformity and manufacturer.
