PLASTIC FUSION PRO
BETAG INNOVATION
The Plastic Fusion Pro Unit is Betag’s top of the line welding unit. The unit performs several functions. It has an integrated tacker with three power levels. These can be adjusted for different plastics. For the fusion function, there are three modes available depending on the desired options. With the internal compressor, the temperature can be preset and the real temperature can be seen on the display. The Fusion Pro can achieve a higher temperature at a lower air volume, which is the key to achieving a good bond. The Fusion Pro can also connect to an external air source, so the user can increase the air volume if desired. On some repairs, a higher air volume is desired as this can speed up the bonding process. The unit can also use nitrogen to perform nitrogen welding. betaginnovation.com

NITROGEN PLASTIC WELDER
PRO-SPOT
Pro-spot’s NP-3 Nitrogen Plastic Welder uses hot nitrogen gas to restructure common plastic components in automotive repair, from cracked bumper cover surfaces to hinged tabs. It is very easy to use with a short learning curve. The unit has digital controls for adjusting air, nitrogen flow, and temperature settings. A unique feature of the NP-3 is that it is designed to save nitrogen gas costs. The NP-3 blows compressed air through the gun until you push the weld trigger, then it automatically switches to nitrogen gas. When the weld trigger is released, it switches back to air. This minimizes gas consumption. The NP-3 kit includes various plastic welding necessities such as thermoplastic filler rod, aluminum tape, and fine grit sandpaper. The welder works with 110V or 220V and is extremely portable. prospot.com
