Welding apparatus
11541608 · 2023-01-03 · ·

A welding apparatus is suitable for welding polymeric materials, and particularly but not exclusively those that may be thin or brittle. A welding apparatus is provided for welding polymeric materials along a weld zone of the polymeric material. The welding apparatus has a carrier for supplying heat to the weld zone to cause melting of the polymeric material, wherein the heating element is arranged to reciprocate relative to the carrier between a retracted and an extended configuration, such that as the element moves from the retracted to the extended configuration the heating element melts and penetrates the surface of the polymeric material. The carrier also has a trailing contact surface trailing the heating element along the weld zone arranged to constrain molten polymeric material in the weld zone. The heating element is also arranged to reciprocate relative to the trailing contact surface.

Plastic floorboard processing technology using digital printing

A plastic floor board processing technology using digital printing, aiming to solve the problem relating to the high production cost, comprising the steps of: preparing a base material; blending the base material; extruding the blended base material into a mold to form a stone-plastic base material; adjusting a gap between a surface embossing roll and a bottom embossing roll to enable the stone-plastic base material to pass through the gap; generating embossing patterns and positioning marks at equal intervals on a surface of the stone-plastic base material; cooling the stone-plastic base material; cutting the stone-plastic base material into plastic floorboards; using a digital printer to print the plastic floorboards. According to the present disclosure, patterns are directly printed on the surface of the stone-plastic base material, which avoids the processes of arranging a color film and a wear layer, lowers the production cost and improves the production efficiency.
