There are a number of thermal [seaming] methods that can be used on thermoplastic geomembrane materials. Hot air uses a machine consisting of a resistance heater, a blower, and temperature controls to blow between two sheets to actually melt the surfaces. Usually, temperatures greater than 500 °F are required. Immediately following the melting of the surfaces, pressure by rollers is applied. 1, record 6, English, - hot%20air%20seam

Soudure thermique: Mode d'assemblage avec pression dans lequel les surfaces sont amollies par la chaleur. Celle-ci génère sur les deux surfaces à souder une température élevée provoquant une fusion partielle des matériaux à souder. Cette chaleur peut être apportée par une lame métallique, par un jet d'air, des ultrasons ou un champ électrique haute fréquence. 2, record 6, French, - soudure%20thermique%20ex%C3%A9cut%C3%A9e%20par%20jet%20d%27air

Double overlock seamer.... a sewing machine for performing twin overedging and seaming in one high-speed operation. Specially designed top and bottom variable feed dogs pull the two plies through a three needle stitching area with improved, simplified elements for diverting one ply edge while the other is being overcast. The upright overcast edge of the top ply passes through a tunnel formed through the top feed dog. A guide wall attached to the throat plate guides the top edge away from the bottom overedging station. A guard wall can be attached to the presser foot to keep the turned-up top edge away from the seaming needle. A fiber optic/pneumatic system controls automatic stop, presser foot/top feed retraction and between-work thread cutter functions. Alternative front edge guides facilitate feeding the two plies in registration. 1, record 7, English, - double%20overlock%20seamer
