How to Seal Plastic PVC hoses?
As plastic hoses come in various shapes and sizes, plastic sealer machines can be adjusted to the size and specifications of a hose. Plastics can be hard or soft, and vary in durability, which is why plastic sealers depend on heat sealing. Harder plastics require more heat to bind, while softer, more malleable plastics require a smaller amount of heat to weld together.
Things You’ll Need
- Plastic sealing machine
Turn on the plastic sealing machine.
Place the plastic hoses side by side, two inches apart, on the tray. Adjust the heating mechanism according to the height of the plastic hoses. Be sure that the hoses are standing on their top side.
Adjust the heating or sealing time of the machine. Different types of plastic require different heating time; the machine’s user’s manual should indicate how much heat and time should be applied to the hoses.
Press the “Start” button of the machine to begin the sealing process.
