The Leister Hemtek Banner Welding Machine
Here at Heat Gun, we work exclusively with the high-quality, world-famous equipment manufacturer Leister to supply the best banner welding machines around. This Swiss company is famed for the durability and manufacturing quality of its equipment, with its roots in the 1940s, when it began producing construction equipment.
In the 1990s, Leister developed the Hemtec banner welding machine, which revolutionized the banner production industry. The Hemtec machine offered a faster, more efficient, and more precise method of welding vinyl banners compared to traditional sewing methods. The Hemtec machine uses heat and pressure to weld vinyl material together, creating a strong bond that is highly resistant to weathering and tearing. The machine works by feeding the banner material through a set of rollers, which hold it in place while a heating element melts the edges of the material. The rollers then press the melted edges together, creating a strong bond that is resistant to tearing and weathering.
Over the years, Leister has continued to refine and improve the Hemtec ST banner welding machine, introducing new features and technologies to meet the evolving needs of the banner production industry. Today, Hemtec banner welding machines are used by banner manufacturers around the world and are recognized as a reliable and efficient solution for high-quality banner production. Here at Heat Gun, we are glad to be stockists of Hemtec ST products. Browse this page to see our full range.

Leister HEMTEK FAQs
If you have been searching around for HEMTEK FAQs, you’ve landed in the right place. Below, we provide answers to some of the most asked questions about the innovative HEMTEK ST banner welding machine out on the market.
Why use the Leister HEMTEK ST?
The Leister HEMTEK ST is a welding machine that combines efficiency, simplicity, and versatility in one attractive package. Regardless of the materials used and the size of the work, the HEMTEK ST welds hems automatically and delivers edge reinforcement.
Say goodbye to tape, as it will no longer be needed once you have used the machine’s heat welding seamless technique.
Does it really save you time and money?
Yes, to both!
The HEMTEK ST is built for speed. For clients who use the machine, they have noticed that finishing projects have become so much faster compared to conventional methods. Work that would previously take at least a day can now be completed within a couple of hours. Plus, the time saved means you can take on more projects than ever before.
In terms of saving money, it’s important to look past the initial cost of the HEMTEK ST and see its investment value. By using this machine, expensive recurring material costs, such as reinforced adhesive tape, can be reduced, and productivity can be increased, which means more jobs and revenue for your business.
What is the overall quality of the welds?
As expected, the welding quality is at an exceptionally high level. Using adhesive tape can leave seams appearing unclean and inaccurate. With the LEISTER HEMTEK ST, however, you can produce consistent welds – from start to finish – with a professional finish.
How easy is it to use the LEISTER machine for banner welding?
The HEMTEK ST has been created with ease of use in mind. No specialist knowledge is required to use the machine. Its design also supports the everyday user. Using a foot pedal, you can use your hands to guide the material and ensure the welds are aligned correctly. In addition, the entire process is seamlessly completed in one step; there’s no need for additional hot air hand tools to complete the job.
If you don’t feel confident using the machine right out of the box, introductory training classes and welding courses are offered through Leister Technologies AG. For more information, visit www.leister.com or call us directly at 1-800-694-1472 for answers to your questions and to support your needs.
What banner welding machine settings work best?
Due to the differing materials and needs of clients, the ideal settings for the HEMTEK ST can vary. After purchasing the machine, it is recommended to run a series of setting tests. By running tests, you’ll gain practice and find the right settings for your project.
What type of table should be used alongside the HEMTEK ST?
Although dependent on the size of the banners or tarpaulin you’re working on, typically, a large table is required. Without adequate space, the efficiency levels of the HEMTEK ST could be affected. Something else to consider is modifications to the table, such as a roller system and self-heating mat, which can also maximize performance.
The good news is that the HEMTEK ST comes with a quick-clamp lock, which allows you to mount or dismantle the machine on any table with minimal effort.

What is welding on a banner?
Hot air welding on a banner refers to the process of joining two pieces of vinyl or fabric material together to create a seamless banner. This process is ideal for creating large banners that need to withstand outdoor conditions and can be done quickly and efficiently using a high-quality welder like the Hemtek ST banner welding machine.
Can you heat weld vinyl?
Yes, vinyl can be heat welded using a banner welding machine. Heat welding is the process of using heat and pressure to melt and fuse two pieces of vinyl material together, creating a seamless bond. Vinyl welding is commonly used in the production of outdoor banners, which require high durability and resistance to weathering. Our industrial grade Hemtec ST welds hems far more efficiently than hand tool welding processes do.
Can PVC be welded with a banner welder?
PVC can be welded using a banner welder – just one of the wide range of applications that banner welders are suited to. Good quality banner welding machines are perfectly capable of bringing PVC to its melting point. PVC welding is used in a wide range of applications, including the production of banners, tarps, tents, and other outdoor products that require a high level of durability and resistance to weathering. In order to weld banners or tarps, you must first figure out the optimal melting temperature of the material that you are working with. PVC welding is also used in the manufacturing of inflatables, such as bounce houses, inflatable slides, and other play structures. Additionally, PVC welding is used in the construction of swimming pools, where PVC liners are welded together to create a seamless and watertight surface. The construction industry is one of the most prolific users of banner welding machines and hot air plastic welding machines in general.
