Filter cartridges with diameters both of 6” and 2.5” can be welded in an IR end cap machine?
Theoretically, yes, both of 6” and 2.5inch filter can share same one machine. but in the long run, sharing is not recommended. Because:
First, when sharing same machine, 2.5 inch filter cartridge welding use the same amount of power as 6 inch filter, this is increasing the production costs.
Second, when sharing same machine, the production capacity of 2.5inch filters will be much lower than using separate machine. Normally, the machine for 2.5inch filter is smaller than 6inch filter making machine, and its production capacity is higher than 6inch filter making machine by approx one third. If you use 6inch filter making machine to weld 2.5inch filter, the production capacity will be lower by one third than the normal production capacity.
Although in the short term, sharing one machine saves the money, in the long run, the production cost of 2.5inch filter is increasing, and the production capacity will be greatly reduced, if the 2.5-inch diameter filter is one of your main products, 2.5inch filter and 6 inch filter cartridge sharing one machine is not a wise choice.
