Seamless Pool Membranes in No Time: The UNIDRIVE 505 Revolution
A Game-Changer for Pool Builders
Great news for professionals in swimming pool construction! The UNIDRIVE 505 from Leister introduces a cutting-edge method for butt welding pool membranes, making the process faster, easier, and virtually seamless. But how exactly does it work? Let’s dive in.
Traditional Welding vs. Innovative Butt Welding
In the past, classic overlap welding was the go-to technique for joining pool membranes. While effective, this method created raised seams that could be felt underfoot—an issue that doesn’t matter much on a flat roof but is less than ideal in a swimming pool. Overlapping seams not only affect the pool’s aesthetics but also make cleaning more difficult, particularly for automated pool robots.
With the increasing demand for digitally printed, textured, or embossed membranes, builders need a welding solution that ensures a smooth, flawless finish. That’s where the UNIDRIVE 505 comes in.
The Solution: UNIDRIVE 505
Unlike traditional methods, the UNIDRIVE 505 enables butt welding directly onto an underlying seam tape. The result? A perfectly smooth, nearly invisible seam that enhances the overall look and durability of the pool.
Previously, achieving this level of precision was only possible with hand-held tools like the TRIAC AT from Leister. Now, thanks to the semi-automated UNIDRIVE 505, the process is significantly faster and more efficient. The welder fuses the left and right membrane panels with the seam tape in a single step, delivering unmatched precision and consistency.
Unparalleled Convenience and Control
The UNIDRIVE 505 is designed for effortless operation. Its clear welding area visibility ensures that the joint line remains in sight throughout the process, allowing for accurate guidance and control. The ergonomic handles provide a comfortable grip, while speed and temperature adjustments are easily managed via a user-friendly display.
Enhanced Stability for Flawless Results
Stability is key to achieving high-quality welding. The three-point support system of the UNIDRIVE 505, combined with two hard plastic support rollers and a silicone pressure roller, ensures perfect balance for safe and efficient welding.
Why Choose the UNIDRIVE 505?
✔ Time-saving – Simultaneous butt welding on seam tape eliminates extra steps
