Machine overview

HF welder for crystal clear PVC film

CRYSTAL ECO was designed for manufacturing transparent PVC film components where the appearance of the joint is just as important as its durability. The machine is ideal for products that need to retain a neat appearance, a tight seal and transparency after welding.

Typical products:

  • crystal clear windows,
  • transparent partitions and curtains,
  • pergolas and canopies,
  • projection screens,
  • covers and technical textiles incorporating PVC film.

Invisible Seam technology

Invisible Seam technology produces a thin, straight and barely visible weld in crystal clear PVC film. The process consists of two stages:

  • HF welding and material cutting,
  • pressing and flattening the seam.

Manual electrode stroke adjustment allows the welding depth to be matched to the film thickness. This gives the operator better control over the appearance of the joint and helps reduce the risk of excessive material flash.

Handling wide rolls and additional components

The manually sliding worktable makes it easier to handle wide film rolls and larger material formats. This is important when manufacturing covers, curtains, canopies and other components that require convenient material movement along the weld line.

The machine can be equipped with tooling for additional applications:

  • welding zippers,
  • welding keders,
  • welding Omega profiles,
  • producing overlaps and linear joints.

Safety and process control

Zemat high frequency welding machines use systems designed to support operator safety, protect key machine components and maintain process stability. These solutions help protect the electrode, material, generator and work area, while process monitoring systems enable fast detection of irregularities and help maintain repeatable welding parameters.

  • AntiFlash™ – a fully solid-state, maintenance-free system that protects the electrode and material against electrical arcing.
  • WCS™ – a system for monitoring welding cycle parameters.
  • ATS™ – a system for automatic adjustment of HF/RF output power.
  • EMC mains filters designed to protect the customer’s electrical network against electromagnetic interference.
  • Enclosed and shielded welding chamber designed to effectively protect the operator from exposure to electromagnetic fields.
  • The machine complies with current machinery safety requirements and applicable standards. Compliance is confirmed by complete Technical Documentation, an EC/EU Declaration of Conformity supplied with each machine, and CE marking.
  • Optional safety light curtains for an increased level of operator protection.

Measurement Laboratory

For machines manufactured by Zemat, mandatory electromagnetic field (EMF) emission measurements are carried out in the working environment. The tests are performed by the Mobilab laboratory operating within Zemat Technology Group. The measurement laboratory works in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025 and holds PCA accreditation, confirming the quality of its services and the reliability of measurement results.

HF Smart Control™

HF Smart Control™

Zemat HF welding machines are designed in accordance with European requirements for machinery safety and energy efficiency. The applied solutions support process stability, reduce energy losses and help maintain repeatable production parameters.

HF Smart Control™ includes:

  • Power consumption optimization
    Systems based on industrial programmable logic controllers (PLCs) measure and regulate the energy used during the welding process in real time. This allows power consumption to be matched to actual process requirements and helps reduce unnecessary electricity use.
  • ATS™ automatic tuning system
    ATS™ automatically adjusts and monitors welding process parameters, helping maintain the correct cycle conditions and use the supplied energy efficiently.
  • High-efficiency HF generators
    Modern HF generators provide stable operation, reduce thermal losses and support longer component service life.
