Holz-Her’s effortless edgebanding

All Holz-Her edgebanders come with Holz-Her’s patented and award-winning Glu Jet system as standard, delivering one-of-a-kind edging results with ultra-thin glue joints; near equivalent to industrial laser edges.

The hybrid technology combined with Holz-Her thin film technology enables visual zero joints with PUR glue, perfect for wet and humid areas including bathrooms, student accommodation and kitchen environments.

The Glu Jet system is fast, heating up in just four minutes. It only uses 2.3kW of energy; a huge saving in both time and energy compared with a typical heating system that needs 6kW. As it’s so quick to heat up, the glue doesn’t simmer.

Every time you heat and cool EVA you lose around 10% of its power but as the Glu Jet system only heats up what is needed, effectiveness of the adhesive is not compromised.

This is industrial technology for all; from the Holz-Her Streamer 1053 at under £20,000 to the Accura range from over £100,000, customers can also process PUR glue as standard, without the hassle.

As the benchmark for professional cabinet makers, most manufacturers would use PUR, but not all machinery can cope with the demands of the polymer reaction which forms such strong and thin waterproof, temperature tolerant bonds.

PUR is difficult to manage with a standard glue pot and molecular cross-linking becomes a problem. With the Glu Jet ready to use in under four minutes with EVA or PUR, Holz-Her’s unique system is the right solution for any edgebanding requirements. Program selection allows the machine to be set up without even opening the hood, so it’s ready for production immediately.

From high gloss through to solid wood edging, the system is both flexible and versatile. Such is its build quality and reliability, the Glu Jet system comes with a three year warranty as standard. 

But it doesn’t stop there. With the new Holz-Her Lumina series comes an option for the LTronic system – the laser edging unit from Holz-Her unbeatable in terms of speed and cost efficiency.

The NIR (Near Infrared Radiation) module in Holz-Her’s LTronic unit transfers heat energy quickly and precisely to the specific point required making it ideal for activation of function layers on laser edging.

Two different NIR modules are available: the standard module for edge heights up to 23mm, or the optional NIR+ module for edge heights up to 45mm.

It’s ready to use as soon as you switch it on – there is no heat-up time or any heat-up phases during the machining process. In addition, the complete system operates absolutely silently; a huge advantage over other noisy systems. With the integrated protective plate on the NIR module only needing to be briefly cleaned just once a week, the system is a pioneer in terms of energy efficiency.

With the Holz-Her Lumina series, you can switch from glue to laser in minutes. Using the high precision HSK interface from Holz-Her’s CNC technology, at the push of a button and serial bus connectors, two dedicated carriages enable units to simply slide on and off. Changing from laser to PUR or EVA could not be easier, and Holz-Her’s solution was designed to ensure the gluing station is always as close as possible to the pressing station, eliminating the chance of “glue shock” and subsequent production problems.

This simple change-over also enables any preventative maintenance or service to the system not in use with zero down time. The Lumina has an automatic unit recognition feature and is ready for use immediately after changing over to the LTronic. The change over time from edge to edge is under five minutes.
