Introduction Wedge It Plus, manufactured by MUNSCH Kunststoff-Schweißtechnik GmbH, is a self- propelled, heat/pressure fusion machine, used for the seaming of thermoplastic geomembranes and related materials. Although this unit was designed for use in the field, it can be used in-house as well.
FI switch required for personal protection. Unit may only be operated under observation. Heat may propagate to flammable materials outside the range of vision. Protect the unit from moisture and direct rainfall! MUNSCH Kunststoff-Schweißtechnik GmbH Ausgabe 01.2017/Rev.00 4/20...
Adjust the lower contour rollers up, clockwise, until the wedge begins to move up slightly. Now insert the other 4” x 18” piece of material between upper contour assembly and wedge (figure 4). Adjust the upper contour rollers down, clockwise, to obtain the desired tolerance. 7/20 Ausgabe 01.2017/Rev.00 MUNSCH Kunststoff-Schweißtechnik GmbH...
NOTE: Distances #1, 2 & 3 should be the same for the HDPE set-up. For PVC set-up, distance #2 & 3 should be approximately ½ the distance of #1 and contour roller adjustments should be backed off completely or removed. MUNSCH Kunststoff-Schweißtechnik GmbH Ausgabe 01.2017/Rev.00...
NOTE: Once the bottom sheet of material has been loaded, you may need to manually roll the welder forward and backward as you are loading the top sheet to prevent a “burn out” at the beginning of the weld. 9/20 Ausgabe 01.2017/Rev.00 MUNSCH Kunststoff-Schweißtechnik GmbH...
1. Disengage the welding pressure 2. Turn the motor switch off 3. Disengage the wedge REMEMBER: Always engage the wedge LAST when starting a weld and disengage the wedge LAST at the end of the weld. MUNSCH Kunststoff-Schweißtechnik GmbH Ausgabe 01.2017/Rev.00 10/20...
As ambient conditions and other variables change (i.e. dirt, moisture, etc.), the welding parameters must be adjusted by the field technician or by the operator. MUNSCH Kunststoff-Schweißtechnik GmbH assumes no liability for weld quality or lack thereof, when using a Wedge-It Hot Wedge Welder.
More involved maintenance practices should be performed on a daily or weekly basis, depending on how much welding you are doing. Part 1 of this section will explain how to accomplish these tasks. MUNSCH Kunststoff-Schweißtechnik GmbH Ausgabe 01.2017/Rev.00 12/20...
Wipe with a clean rag, or preferably, blow dry with compressed air. Make sure all components are clear of dirt and sand, etc. Lightly lubricate all gears, sprockets and chains. NOTE: MUNSCH Kunststoff-Schweißtechnik GmbH recommends using spray on white lithium grease which is available at any hardware store or auto parts store.

Also, make sure that there is enough slack in these wires to allow free fore and aft movement of the wedge. Split copper wedge makes changing the heaters simple. 15/20 Ausgabe 01.2017/Rev.00 MUNSCH Kunststoff-Schweißtechnik GmbH...
