10/11/2011: HOT PLATE WELDING: PLATE TEMPERATURES

The contact or distance (radiation) of the  the heating element from the plate should be uniform, especially on hard materials such as PC and ABS.
Are also very important the piece heating time and the heating time on the moulds. After the heating, the machine must be very fast to remove the blade as the material solidifies or crystallizes very quickly.

The temperatures of the hot plate for the main polymers are:
