Miniature Hot Air Tool

A new, miniature hot air process tool that is ideal for heat staking or thermal riveting plastics, drying adhesives and inks, soldering and de-soldering and a variety of shrink packaging applications is being introduced by Malcom Hot Air Systems.

Malcom’s Leister Labo Heater is an extremely compact hot-air tool that can be mounted virtually anywhere and integrated into a variety of processes where larger, conventional tools are impractical. Capable of reaching 1,150°F with air-flows that can be adjusted from a whisper to 10 CFM, this powerful tool comes in two versions and requires a compressed air line or blower.

Measuring 5” long by 1” in diameter and weighing 3 1/2 ounces, the heater can be supplied with a wide range of nozzles for special applications. It is offered in a 120 V, 550 watt version that produces 1,100°F and a 230 V, 800 watt version that reaches 1,150°F.
