How to use

• Step 1
  When using for the first time, please open the glue lid, add the appropriate amount of hot melt glue to the glue pot, and confirm the use of medium- temperature glue. (Note: The machine itself has a small amount of glue. Under the influence of weather, the glue brought by the machine will melt, so there will be a small amount of glue in the glue pot, which is normal.)

• Step 2
  After confirming that the motor switch is off, turn on the power, press the power switch and adjust the melting temperature of the temperature controller to 116°C to start the preheating work.

• Step 3
  Preheat for 5~ 10 minutes, confirm that the hot melt glue is all melted, open the motor switch, adjust the speed control knob to the highest speed for gluing.

• Step 4
  When the double glue roller all glue, also glue evenly amount, adjust the speed control knob, slow down the motor speed to reach the sealing speed you need.

• Step 5
  Before edge banding, adjust the front, middle and back three press-tape devices to the appropriate position according to the width and thickness of the edge banding (Note: when adjusting the press-tape plate, it is necessary to adjust the gap to the maximum, and then adjust the appropriate gap after sending it into the edge banding strip, otherwise it is easy to make the press-tape plate stick hot melt adhesive, difficult to clean). According to the width of the side sealing belt, the height limit at the entrance of the side sealing belt, and the best height limit at the exit is 1mm higher than the side sealing belt.

• Step 6
  After confirming that the edge banding is compatible with the wood sheet, slowly feed the edge banding and start sealing.

Selection of edge-sealing hot melt adhesives

Edge sealing hot melt adhesive for edge bonding is a kind of adhesive specially used for edge bonding of artificial board. It is a solvent-free thermoplastic adhesive. When heated to a certain temperature, the hot melt glue becomes molten. When it is applied to the surface of the wood-based panel substrate or edge sealing material, it is cooled to become solid state, and the edge sealing material and the base material are bonded together. For the selection and use of edge-sealing hot melt adhesives, the following must be noted:

1. Base material for edge sealing hot melt adhesives
   According to the different base materials of edge sealing hot melt adhesives can be divided into three categories:

   • EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer resin) base material hot melt adhesive, this hot melt adhesive can be divided into two categories with filler and no filler. The use of EVA as the base material is the most common edge sealing hot melt adhesive production technology, it is the main limitation is the heat resistance of poor performance. The ambient temperature of board furniture sealed with EVA hot melt adhesive shall not be higher than 120℃
   • POL YAMIDE(polyamide) base material hot melt adhesive: This hot melt adhesive has good heat resistance and fast curing characteristics, the main disadvantage is expensive.
   • HMPU (polyurethane) based hot melt adhesive: It is the best performing type of hot melt adhesive and is a guarantee of high-quality board sealing. It is expensive and requires special application methods.

2. The viscosity of the edge sealing hot melt adhesive
   The viscosity of the edge sealing hot melt adhesive does not directly reflect the good or bad performance of the adhesive. In general, the higher the viscosity of the edge sealing hot melt adhesive, the better its initial adhesive strength, but the worse the coating performance. Low-viscosity hot melt glue has a smaller coating volume and better wetting performance. Some viscosities cure very quickly and may also have High initial adhesive strength. For poor-quality chipboard, sealing requires a higher viscosity hot melt. This is due to the poor fluidity of the high-viscosity hot melt adhesives. It is not as easy to get into the pores of the chipboard edges during gluing as a low-viscosity hot melt adhesive, so that the hot melt adhesive can be fully coated on the edges of the board.

The use of edge-sealing adhesives

1. Temperature during edge sealing
   As the performance of the edge sealing hotmelt is influenced by the temperature, the temperature is very need to pay attention to indicators. The hot melt adhesive temperature, substrate temperature, edge sealing material temperature and working environment temperature are very important edge sealing parameters. If the ambient temperature is too low when edge sealing, the hot melt glue will have cured before connection, resulting in a glue that will stick to the substrate but not to the sealing material. It is best to keep the temperature of the substrate above 20°C and, if necessary, to preheat the board and sealing material.

2. Sealing rubber line processing
   After the edge sealing between the plate and the glue line will hurt the appearance of the board-type furniture. If the amount of glue applied is too large, the glue line will be obvious. On the contrary, it will reduce the strength of the sealing edge. For the phenomenon of discontinuous or uneven glue line, the reasons are many, we should consider several reasons comprehensively: the cutting precision of the plate, the edge of the plate must maintain 90° Angle with its plane, the rubber roll is intact, whether the hot melt glue on it is uniform, whether the amount of glue is appropriate. The sealed sheets should be kept in a clean, less dust place. In the finishing process, avoid contact between dirty things and the glue line.

3. The requirements of hot melt adhesives for base material and sealing materials:

4. It is difficult to seal the edge of the substrate rich in oil. Because oily substances will reduce the affinity of the plate and glue, the bonding strength will be greatly reduced for a long time, resulting in the edge strip off.

5. In general, the temperature of the panels and sealing materials should be kept above room temperature to ensure the quality of the sealing.

6. The moisture content of the board and wood bark can not exceed 12%, the moisture content is too high, will make the hot melt adhesive in advance curing and wettability decline, thus reducing the bonding strength.

7. When the fireproof board is used as the edge sealing material, because the back of the fireproof board often has residual substances that are not conducive to bonding, so before the edge sealing, the back of the fireproof board should be treated with universal adhesive or appropriate solvent, to obtain a good edge sealing effect.

8. Some PVC side tape, because of its back processing is not good, often cause edge difficulties.

Maintenance

1. When the edge banding machine is not working, the temperature of the glue pot should be properly reduced. On the one hand, it can avoid carbonization of hot melt glue at the use temperature for a long time, keep the glue tank clean, and do not cause blockage of the glue supply system and reduce the heating performance. On the other hand, when working again, the glue can be quickly heated up to the use temperature. In addition, more than 2/3 of the glue must be kept in the glue pot, otherwise black carbide will be produced around the glue pot.
2. The glue pot and glue roller should be cleaned regularly. This is because excessive carbide around the glue pot and residue on the glue roller will reduce the performance of the heating system.
3. If the glue residue is to be removed from the glue tank, this can be done before the edge sealer stops working. When the glue is still molten, put a T-shaped object into the glue, wait for the glue to cool down completely and then reheat it. As the glue at the bottom and around the glue can is first heated and melted, the T-shaped object can then be used to remove most of the residual glue. The residual glue is then cleaned with organic solvents (petrol, banana water, etc.
