Description
A heat gun, or hot air blower, draws in ambient air, heats it over an electric heating element and delivers it through a nozzle as a controlled stream of hot air. With the right temperature and nozzle, the same principle welds thermoplastic membranes and sheet, shrinks tubing and film, softens plastic for forming, and dries paint and varnish.
Weldy hot air blowers and heat guns are practical, robust tools for contractors, fabricators and maintenance teams who use hot air every day. The range spans:
- compact heat guns for lighter tasks
- versatile all-rounders for general welding and shrinking
- high-output tools for performance-intensive plastic welding and large-scale heating
- specialised tools for confined spaces and controlled process heat
Choosing the right tool starts with the application: the material, the type of joint or heating task, the working environment and the level of control the job requires.
Key Features and Benefits
| Consideration | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Heating power | Determines how quickly heat is delivered and whether the tool suits light work or performance-intensive welding and large-scale heating. |
| Temperature range and control | Must cover the processing temperature of the material. Digital control helps where repeatable settings are required. |
| Airflow | Affects heat transfer and how well the tool drives welding nozzles. Adjustable airflow adds flexibility across tasks. |
| Nozzle connection | Defines which nozzles fit the tool, and therefore which welding, shrinking and forming processes it can perform. |
| Weight and handling | Affects operator comfort during long handheld use and access to confined areas. |
| Electrical configuration | Voltage and plug type must match the site supply. |
Temperature control to suit the work
Depending on the model, temperature is set with a stepless dial or controlled digitally with a display. Stepless analogue control is simple and robust for general welding and shrinking. Digital control gives a precise, repeatable setting for work where consistency matters.
Adjustable airflow on selected models
Some tools allow the air volume to be adjusted as well as the temperature. Balancing heat and airflow helps when moving between delicate films and heavier sections.
Nozzles that define the task
Weldy heat guns accept interchangeable nozzles:
- Wide slot nozzles: overlap welding of membranes and textiles.
- Speed welding nozzles: welding with filler rod.
- Tubular nozzles: concentrated, localised heat.
- Reflector nozzles: shrinking and forming.
One tool can serve several processes with a nozzle change.
Built for daily professional use
Ceramic heating elements, robust motors and replaceable dust filters support long service life. Models designed for outdoor use suit roofing and site work, and some designs include a cool-down function.
Kits for common applications
Many heat guns are also supplied as application kits, which combine the tool with the nozzles and accessories for a defined task, giving teams a complete working setup from the start.
Applications and Use Cases
Across the range, Weldy hot air tools are used for:
- Plastic fabrication: tank fabrication, pipe and tube welding, plastic repairs and plastic forming.
- Roofing and waterproofing: flat and pitched roof membrane welding, bitumen welding, and pond, pool and tunnel waterproofing.
- Technical textiles: advertising banners, awnings and tarpaulins.
- Shrinking and finishing: cable shrinking, foil shrinking and colour removal.
- Vehicles and interiors: vehicle wrapping, vehicle body upholstering and floor laying.
Each tool covers part of this spectrum. Its output, temperature range, control type and nozzle connection determine which applications it suits.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between stepless and digital temperature control?
Stepless control uses a dial to set any temperature within the tool’s range. It is simple, robust and well suited to general welding and shrinking. Digital control sets and displays the temperature electronically, which makes repeatable settings easier where process consistency matters.
Can one heat gun handle welding and shrinking?
Yes, in many cases. Fitting a different nozzle changes how the heat is delivered: wide slot nozzles for overlap welding, speed welding nozzles for filler rod, and reflector nozzles for shrinking. The tool must have a temperature range and output suited to each task.
Are Weldy heat guns suitable for outdoor work?
Many Weldy heat guns are designed for outdoor use, which makes them suitable for roofing and site applications. Check the specification of the individual model.
