BRANDT Infrared hotmelt activation

The glue which is applied to the workpiece edge gives a part of its heat to both the workpiece material and the surrounding air, before the edge material is supplied. This loss shall be compensated by the infrared hotmelt activation. Therefore, the ceramic infrared emitter is positioned between the glue roller and the pressure zone. This equipment is useful in workshops with inadequate heating and when using oily lumber.

The cooling of the adhesive due to the cold material of the workpiece can also be delayed by a preheating zone.
