The manufacturer of board edge banding adhesive tells you about the maintenance of the edge banding machine when using adhesive

Board edge banding adhesive is a type of adhesive specifically used for bonding artificial boards. It is an environmentally friendly, solvent-free thermoplastic adhesive. Before use, it is necessary to conduct a trial operation on the edge banding adhesive and make relevant adjustments in the selection and process of the edge banding adhesive. IWG, a manufacturer of edge banding adhesive for sheet metal, has summarized the following aspects that must be understood before going to the trial machine after multiple tests by the testing personnel:

1. The condition of the adhered substrate, including the type, surface condition, moisture content, secondary components, and residue of the board, as well as the edge banding (type, softness, thickness, creep temperature, etc.).

2. The condition of the glue machine (type, operating temperature, feeding speed, whether the glue roller and pressure roller are correct and intact, etc.). Preliminary assessment of the type of adhesive used.

3. Environmental conditions of the workplace: including temperature (recommended to be maintained above 15 ℃), humidity (30% -50%), dust (for dusty environments, dust should be removed and the hot melt adhesive should not be contaminated).

4. Use of adhesives from other manufacturers

Precautions for trial operation:

Before testing, the glue tank should be cleaned, and if necessary, the glue machine should be cleaned.

2. When melting glue, adjust the temperature of the glue tank and hose according to the condition of the board. Within the temperature range of use, if the board is porous and uneven, increase the viscosity of the hose at the lower end of the glue usage temperature range. If the board is dense and uniform, increase the wetting of the board at the higher end of the hose temperature. Observe the bonding condition during use and adjust according to the different adhesive layers. If the ambient temperature is low, it is recommended to slightly increase the temperature of the hose.

3. Evaluate and analyze components with poor adhesion and unsuitability, and identify the root cause of the problem. (Common problem analysis will be provided later). Guide the glue personnel to use the glue correctly and pay attention to the key steps.

During use, in addition to ensuring that the substrate and process are in a specific state, attention should also be paid to the maintenance of the glue machine.

Precautions for maintenance of edge banding machine:

(1) When the edge banding machine is not in operation, the temperature of the glue tank should be lowered by 20-50 ℃. On the one hand, this can avoid the carbonization phenomenon of the edge banding glue of the board under long-term use temperature, keep the glue tank clean, and prevent blockage of the glue supply system and reduced heating performance; On the other hand, when resuming work, the rubber can be quickly heated up to the operating temperature. In addition, more than 2/3 of the glue must be kept in the glue can, otherwise it will cause black carbonization around the glue can;

(2) Regularly clean the glue tank and glue roller. Excessive carbonization around the glue tank and residue on the glue roller will reduce the performance of the heating system and glue supply system

(3) If you want to remove the residual glue from the glue can, before the edge banding machine stops working, when the glue is still in a melted state, place a T-shaped object into the glue, wait for the glue to completely cool down, and then reheat it. Since the glue at the bottom and around the can is melted by heat first, most of the residual glue can be removed with the T-shaped object. After the glue machine has completely cooled down, clean the remaining glue with a 1:1 mixture of toluene and methylene chloride.
