Description
Understanding Preheat Function
If belt is relatively thick, a problem might occur where the outside of the belt is at the splicing temperature too
long, waiting for the inside to reach the required temperature. Melted material might ow away or discolor
and fabrics might shrink. To avoid this problem, the preheat option can be used. is option heats the belt
up (outside and inside) to a temperature just below the melting temperature. Aer the preheat stage, the
inside splice temperature can be reached much quicker, minimizing the risk for unwanted ow of material,
discoloring or shrinkage.
