Welding Tarpaulins, Tents and Banners: Machines That Do It Right
Truck curtains, tent structures, shade sails, advertising banners — the UAE runs on welded PVC fabric. Stitching fails under sun and load; a welded seam is waterproof and often stronger than the fabric itself. Here is the equipment that does it properly.
For production volume: automatic overlap welding
The Weldy Foiler ETL is the production machine: a 1700 W automatic overlap welder that drives itself along the seam at consistent speed and temperature, in 20 mm or 30 mm seam widths. If your workshop produces banners or tarpaulins daily, this machine sets your output rate.
For wedge-welded textile seams
The Miniwelder Tex2 welds technical textiles with a 20 mm hot wedge and silicone pressure roller — the method of choice for tent fabrics and materials where direct hot air is too aggressive. At 6.6 kg it moves easily across a cutting table.
For details, repairs and small jobs
A hand tool with an overlap kit covers everything the machines don’t: the Energy HT1600 overlap welding kit (20 & 40 mm slot nozzles + silicone roller) handles corner finishing, keder details, on-site repairs and short seams. Pair it with a heat gun for shaping and shrink work.
