挤压焊接是一种利用过滤材料、热量和压力连接热塑性材料的方法。该工艺主要应用于客户热塑性塑料制造和土工膜衬里安装（详细工作、维修）。在婴儿期，挤压焊接机是安装在轮子上的相对较大的机器，今天的技术允许使用不同尺寸的手持型号，输出能力高达4.5千克/小时（约10磅/小时）。尽管在过去十年中，挤压焊接机的应用有了很大的发展，但几乎没有建立任何文件。

Extrusion welding is a method for joining of thermoplastic materials utilizing a filter material, heat and pressure. The process finds its main applications in the field of customer thermoplastic fabrication and geomembrane liner installations (detail work, repairs). In their infancy stages, extrusion welders were comparatively large machines mounted on wheels, today's technology permits hand held models of different sizes with output capacities of up to 4.5 kg/hr (approx. 10 lbs/hr). Although the application of extrusion welders has seen a considerable expansion in the past ten years, very little documentation has been established.
