Tradefirst (Pvt.) Ltd, the authorised distributor in Sri Lanka for Leister, which is the global leader in the field of plastic welding and industrial hot air applications, recently supplied a large number of Leister hot air blowers to Ansell Lanka for its glove manufacturing facility in Biyagama. 


Ansell Lanka, which holds the global market leading position in the manufacturing of single and multi-use hand protection products for industrial and medical applications, approached the Leister agent in Sri Lanka seeking a pre-heating hot air solution for its glove manufacturing process in Biyagama, as Ansell always maintains the appropriate and most innovative state-of-the-art equipment with sustainable manufacturing practices. 


Leister sales team from Tradefirst (Pvt.) Ltd, led by Nafais Naziar, carried out a successful demonstration at the Ansell factory in Biyagama, with Leister hot air blowers named Hotwind System to meet the client’s need. As the technical experts of Ansell were fully satisfied with the hot air solution demonstrated by the Tradefirst team, Ansell Lanka purchased a large number of Leister Hotwind Systems to be fixed onto their production line in order to generate a pre-heating system for the labelling process.  


Generating hot air using LPG or Boiler system for industrial manufacturing processes is not the safe and accepted norm though some industries in Sri Lanka are using it as easy and cheap methods. Leister hot air blowers and air heaters are the only specialised devices in the world, which could be used continuously for longer period efficiently and effectively without any interruption, for a wide range of hot air applications such as heating, curing, melting, shrinking, deflasing, welding, sterilising, drying and warming.
