The control element measures the temperature directly at the belt and therefore reacts extremely fast to any changes. The pre-set temperature can be maintained at a constant level and be precisely controlled. In combination with the tried-and-trusted VEIT heating units and the geometry of the heating zones, the adhesive’s flow properties are perfectly set for further processing.
The Heating Element
For perfect heat radiation, stability over the entire width of the machine is essential. The heating element’s aluminium construction absorbs only little energy, thus allowing best possible heat transfer to the fusing material.
Configuration of heating zones BOTTOM or TOP
Different applications require individual technical solutions. The design of the heating element when fusing outerwear parts will differ from the layout for an application in shirt fusing. Perfect adjustment of the heating zone is essential for successful fusing. VEIT’s configurable heating zones are the answer to this challenge. This unique technology allows optimised adjustment of the fusing machine to the individual application.
Heating zone 3/2 and 4/3 bottom/top
For fabrics and interlinings in outer wear the 3/2 and 4/3 bottom/top arrangement brings perfect results. The upper fabricis gradually warmed by the first lower heating zone, limiting shrinkage to a minimum. Heavier fabrics also react positively to this arrangement of heating elements.
Heating zone 2/3 and 3/4 top/bottom
The 2/3 and 3/4 top/bottom arrangement of heating elements is the standard layout at the FM for shirts and sportswear. The initial upper heating zone melts the adhesive to the interlining. The extended lower heating zone then draws it downwards into the upper fabric.
