Iowa Plastics offers the Drader Plastic Welding Equipment and Supplies. (New and Reburbished) 

Drader’s Injectiweld system is known worldwide for its high quality weld and ease of use.  Drader developed the Injectiweld for bonding thermoplastics such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polycarbonate, polyamides, ABS, polystyrene and others.  Fabricate, prototype, and repair most thermoplastics using the Drader Injectiweld.

 

What is so great about the Injectiweld?   Strong welds. 
Molten welding rod injected below the surface of the plastic creates a strong weld, and the Injectiweld's patented process does just that.  The Injectiweld's tip forms the weld zone and prepares the plastic for a high-pressure injection of molten welding rod.  Physical mixing of the plastic substrate and the welding rod makes a strong, high quality bond.  The weld is stress free because of the way the Injectiweld fully melts the welding rod.  Independent tests prove Drader's claim of a superior weld.  Recent results of a flexural strength test indicated "no break of weld or material" in any of the samples.  We do not know of any other fabrication equipment that can offer these results.

 

The Injectiweld is also easy to use.  It can make strong welds even if the operator does not have extensive welding experience.  You can save time and money with the Drader because of its features.  You do not need the expert's touch to get a high quality weld with Drader's automatic injection pressure.  The automatic feed system also enables use of the welder with one hand.  The welder's tip works below the surface layer of plastic so there is no need to scrape off the oxidation to get a quality weld.  Drader's 12 tips are interchangeable, so your system is versatile.  It is compact; therefore, it allows your operator to reach confined spaces easily.

 

Fabricating:

The Drader Injectiweld is easily adapted into production and assembly applications.  Operate the Injectiweld with one hand and hold the plastic with the other.  Now try to do that with other welding systems.  The Injectiweld is easy to use and lightweight, so it can go into areas where other equipment can not operate.

 

The Injectiweld makes use of numerous interchangeable tips.  Sheet and pipe fabricators obtain welds from 1/16" to 5/16" in a single pass.  Some fabricators use the Injectiweld to securely spot weld products together.  Others use the welder to tack products together for ease in further processing.  Even small welds produced by the Drader are strong.  Thin sheet welding applications are ideal for the Injectiweld since it does not distort the plastic by blowing hot air.  Use the Injectiweld on hard to weld products such as high molecular weight polyethylene (HMWPE), polycarbonate (PC) SantopreneÒ, and EPDM.

 

Repair:

Plastic breaks.  Repair it, and get it back into service.  Cost effectively repair thermoplastics such as containers, totes, fish pens, carts, tanks, pipes, boats, and ATV fenders.  The combination of heat and pressure from the Injectiweld produces quality welds on previously un-repairable parts.  Drader also has special tools that improve plastic repair.

 

Prototyping:

Develop models and prototypes by using the Injectiweld.  The Injectiweld makes strong welds and allows real life tests on welded prototypes.  The Injectiweld is capable of producing strong, inconspicuous welds as small as .060".  Drader has special prototyping tips, which allow model builders to get into tight spaces.

 

An Injection Molding Machine? 

Now, there is a new function for the Injectiweld as an Injection molding machine.  Use the welder to inject molten plastic into small molds.  It is an inexpensive way to make a small parts run.

 

Rotomolding:

The combination of the heated metal tip and the high pressure of the plastic extrudate produce welds on rotomolded parts that are water and airtight.  Rotational molders reduce scrap parts by using the Injectiweld to seal seams, blow-bys, and voids.  They also use the welder to add baffles, flanges, and fittings onto their plastic products.  The strength of the weld is very close to the strength of the virgin material so there is no need to worry about weak spots.  To add to the quality of these welds, Drader can produce custom welding rod using rotomolded grade resin for an exact color and material match.

 

Lining:

Whether in the field or in your shop, the Injectiweld can perform repairs and fabrications on your Lining Systems.  Weld boots flanges and seams or repair test holes and tears using the Injectiweld.
