Experiment: Corner welding of solid upvc profile

In this blog we will be trying a experiment. You must have seen our other videos where you must have seen us welding normal upvc window and door profiles using SAICON portable upvc corner welding machine, which is successfully used by many people all over the world to make and manufacture upvc windows and doors.

But is it possible to weld the corners of a solid upvc profile using SAICON portable upvc corner welding machine.

Let’s see

Here we are showing you two types of Upvc Profiles kept infront of us. The upvc profile on the left is a normal upvc profile which usually has a wall thickness of 1.5 mm to 2.5 mm and on the right hand side we are having a solid foam upvc profile with the top wall thickness to be 12 mm, bottom side 10 mm and the side walls at 4 mm.

Now we will try to weld the solid upvc profile using SAICON portable upvc corner welding machine.

As you can see in the picture the profile got welded with ease like any normal upvc profile and seems to be a very strong bond.

Now let us clean the surface of our welded upvc profile and see how it comes out finally.

Here’s how it looks

But aesthetic beauty is not all. So we should also check the strength of this profile that we have welded.

Let us opt for a simple testing technique let me throw this profile on the ground with all my might and check weather it breaks or not.

Not once but twice.

There seems to be no damage to the profile and its perfectly ok.

So we finally concluded a successful experiment in welding a solid upvc profile using SAICON portable upvc corner welding machine.

I hope you liked the post. If you are interested in setting up your own upvc window plant then do contact us. We provide you with the full set of machines required to make your upvc windows and doors. Training and raw material guidance is also provided alongwith the machines.

Also if you would like to watch the full video of the experiment we did. Then I would put the video down below. Do check it out.
