The COMET 500 hot-wedge welding machine from Leister offers practical convenience to reliably weld thick and thin geomembranes made of thermoplastics such as PE, HDPE and LDPE. It reaches speeds up to 8 m/min - without the need for a gearbox conversion. The required welding pressure can be set on the COMET 500 by means of a force module with an adjustment screw, depending on the application and/or material. The hot wedge is automatically positioned at the correct point in the overlap.

Reliable overlap welding of geomembranes in civil engineering
Efficient
Optimized hot wedge shape
The optimized hot wedge shape on the COMET 500 automatic geo-welding machine from Leister enables particularly efficient heat transfer when overlap welding plastic geomembranes.
Practical
Well-positioned handles
Thanks to the well thought-out positioning of its three handles, the COMET 500 from Leister is easy to handle and facilitates flawless overlap welding.
Comfortable
Plastic case for safe storage
The COMET 500 is delivered in a practical plastic case. This makes the hot-wedge welding machine easy to carry and at the same time well protected.
