Edge banding application for woodworking
Replacing open glue-roller systems with slot nozzle technology for a consistent adhesive application to the edge of the panel, enhancing your process to help you achieve what is essential for your application:
- Highest-quality product appearance
- Better bonding quality (polyurethane adhesives – PUR)
- Adhesive savings
- Production line flexibility and efficiency

Value Propositions
- PUR application (non-reversible bonding) with low application volumes
- Closed system, including a nozzle closing plate, to protect adhesive from contaminants and with PUR, from the moisture in the air
- Compact size to fit easily into parent machine (replacing rollers)
- Motorized automatic height adjustment for flexible production (optional)
- Highly accurate application weight control and application tolerance
- Lot size “one” (1) capability
- Optional panel thickness measurement
- Best product appearance and Better Bonding (virtually invisible PUR adhesive layer by applying precise adhesive volume)
- Reduction of operational and maintenance cost due to closed system preventing premature curing or burning of the adhesive
- The compact size of the applicator makes easy machine integration possible at the roller position (close to point where the edge joins the board)
- Increased productivity with shorter changeover time and less maintenance.
- Adhesive cost savings of up to 50% (120 g/m2 instead of 240 g/m2)
- Minimum scrap rate as a result of controlled application (first panel saleable)
- Compensation for tolerance differences between panels in a batch with optional panel thickness measurement (even tolerance differences in one panel can be measured and compensated)
