Safety & Access

The traditional, slow way to side lap weld built up roofing felt is with LPG and a naked flame. This method of laying felt is fast becoming a thing of the past. Many customers, specifiers and the HSE now insist on hot air only, no naked flame and no gas cylinders on site.

Sievert has recognised that the market has shifted and has produced a full range of purpose built machines which are both reliable, quick and give a perfect depth weld with the faultless bead.

The Sievert TW5000 is reliable, easy to use and very quick, some of the key features are:

• Automatic 4 wheel drive system
• Welds wrinkle free at up to 7 metres a minute
• Capable of welding on inclines of up to 30 degrees
• 230 or 400V with a 6000W element
• Welding temperature 200-660°C
• Internationally proven quality and after sales support

Sievert UK business development manager, Chris Harper commented: “In this difficult market, contractors need to cut costs. This machine can cost as little as £35 a week to finance – where else can you hire a professional who can weld bitumen safely and wrinkle free, at up to 7 metres a minute for that price? It also welds Single Ply membranes to perfection. With such a vast range of professional flat roofing tools, we can make the difference between contractors winning or losing tenders.”
