Profile wrapping application for woodworking
Nordson's profile wrapping coating system can fully cover various substrates, including metal foils and plywood, with hot-melt adhesives, EVA, and reactive polyurethane (PUR). By precisely metering and controlling the lip and glue applicator, the system can reliably and completely control the coating width and thickness.
Overview
For many years, Nordson systems have been successfully used in the wood industry, even for thin decors where the market requires an excellent final product appearance. Profile wrapping is a process by which a decorative surface is laminated onto a board/workpiece in lineal form. This is done by means of a profile-wrapping machine.
Application Fields of Wrapping Process:
- Wood products manufacturing
- Solid wood processing industry
- Composite wood products manufacturing
- Plastic products manufacturing
- Metal products manufacturing
Traditional Roll Coating Wrapping System Reasons for Downtime:
- Open rollers are prone to adhesive carbonization.
- Glue volume is not easily precisely controlled, leading to glue overflow.
- Inconsistent glue patterns.
Quality issues:
- Dust causing film contamination.
- Inconsistent glue patterns affecting bonding strength
The Nordson solution facilitates uniform adhesive application and high quality products for all kinds of adhesives (e.g. PUR, EVA, PO) and combines this with all relevant substrates in the industry. The Nordson solution can be adapted to any customer requirement.
