Nitrogen Welding System - Urethane Supply Company

Specifications

The Urethane Supply Company Model 6056 Nitrogen Welding System is a comprehensive plastic repair solution. This technologically advanced system integrates a 5600HT Airless Plastic Welder and a 6053 Hot Air Welder, coupled with a 6053N2 Nitrogen Control Box. The system operates at 120V and delivers 550 watts of power for its hot air element, ensuring efficient and consistent heat for various plastic welding tasks.

The entire system is mounted on a fully assembled, American-made welding cart. This heavy-gauge steel cart features a powder-coated finish, industrial wheels for mobility, and a tall back support designed for securing large nitrogen bottles. It includes integrated storage compartments for tools and welding rods, built-in holders for heating elements and welder controls, and an integral power strip for convenient operation. An air manifold with an auxiliary outlet allows for the attachment of additional air tools.

Dimensions: 34 inches (L) x 19 inches (W) x 37 inches (H) (for the system on the cart). Weight: Refer to product documentation for detailed weight information.

Key Features

• Dual Welding Capabilities: The system combines the precision of nitrogen plastic welding with the versatility of hot air welding and airless plastic welding, providing solutions for a wide range of plastic types and repair scenarios.
• Oxidation Prevention: Utilizing nitrogen as a shielding gas purges oxygen from the weld area, which prevents plastic burning and oxidation. This results in significantly stronger, cleaner, and more durable plastic welds.
• Integrated Control System: The 6053N2 Nitrogen Control Box manages gas flow and temperature, allowing for precise control over the welding process. Some advanced systems, similar to the 6056's capabilities, offer digital controls and automatic switching between air and nitrogen for enhanced efficiency.
• Comprehensive Tool Organization: The included welding cart offers dedicated storage and accessibility for all components, including welding rods, heating elements, and tools, streamlining the repair workflow.
• Ready-to-Use Setup: The system arrives fully assembled, requiring minimal setup—simply connect a nitrogen tank (sold separately) and a compressed air supply (sold separately), then plug it in.

Applications

The Nitrogen Welding System is ideal for professional plastic repair across various industries. Its primary applications include:

• Automotive Collision Repair: Effectively restores damaged thermoplastic components such as bumper covers, headlight tabs, interior panels, and grill bars. It enables repairs on areas like tabs, mounting holes, and flanges that are often challenging or impossible to fix with two-part adhesives.
• Industrial Maintenance: Repairs plastic components in manufacturing settings, contributing to equipment longevity and reducing replacement costs.
• General Plastic Fabrication: Versatile enough for a broad spectrum of plastic welding tasks where strong, reliable fusion is critical.
• Specialized Plastic Repairs: Suitable for welding various plastics, including common polypropylene/TPO blends found in modern vehicles.

Benefits

• Superior Weld Strength: Nitrogen welding creates fusion welds that are stronger and more reliable than those achieved with hot air alone or two-part adhesives, by preventing oxidation and contamination of the melted plastic.
• Cost-Effective Repairs: Technicians can repair a wider range of plastic parts instead of replacing them, leading to significant cost savings for businesses and customers.
• Enhanced Durability: Repairs made with this system are more resistant to cracking and warping, maintaining the integrity and appearance of the repaired item over time.
• Increased Productivity: The efficient welding process and organized system design contribute to faster repair times, allowing shops to handle more jobs and improve overall productivity.
• Versatility in Repair: The combination of nitrogen and airless welding capabilities allows for precise repairs on diverse plastic types and complex damage, including thin tabs and mounting points.
