SPLICING

The Menzel Hot‑Tape Splicer provides a fast, reliable method for overlap splicing a wide range of woven and nonwoven materials. Using a thermoplastic tape, the system welds two webs together cleanly and consistently, creating a strong, uniform splice suitable for demanding production environments.

Engineered for versatility, the Hot‑Tape Splicer handles a broad spectrum of materials—including fiberglass, scrims, open‑weave fabrics, and porous substrates. Adjustable temperature, pressure, and cooling cycles allow operators to fine‑tune the process for different web types and thicknesses, ensuring optimal splice quality every time.
