Keep your edgebander clean and efficient

“If you are running PUR or EVA hot melt adhesives for edgebanding, you will already recognise and demand the highest quality and performance from your adhesive, and also your edgebander. To achieve optimum machinery performance, a quality Henkel Technomelt cleaner should be sought. Sadly, sometimes cleaning the edgebander is neglected, yet cleaners should play a vital role in your day-to-day operations – many would argue just as crucial a role as the adhesive itself – a good cleaner can make all the difference and improve equipment efficiency.

“The right Henkel Technomelt cleaner will bring you many operational benefits, ensuring consistent dispensing and bond quality, reducing downtime and maintenance, as well as extending the lifespan of the application equipment. Not to mention the peace of mind factor – there’s nothing better than being able to leave your equipment safe in the knowledge that the cleaning process has completed and therefore your edgebander will be all ready for the start of the next production run.

“Whilst a good cleaning process is key for all adhesives, it is particularly essential for PUR adhesives to prevent the glue from cross-linking and setting solid in the melting tanks, pumps, tubes and pipe systems, including nozzles.

“Henkel Technomelt cleaners used in the correct way can save hours of interruption and downtime over the lifetime of the edge bander by reducing the amount of time spent on the cleaning process, thereby boosting production time. Simplifying the cleaning process is just as key as selecting the most appropriate Henkel Technomelt adhesive.

“Through our premium partnership with Henkel, we can offer customers guidance and help them choose the best Technomelt cleaner for their production line.  Our technical team are here to assist customers either over the phone or through training days and site visits, ensuring they are getting the very best out of their adhesives and cleaners. This all-round support package has been fundamental in gaining us the status of being a key supplier to many leading UK woodworking and building component manufacturers.

“The Henkel name is quite rightly linked with very high quality and market-leading technologies, and of course this doesn’t purely apply to their adhesives, but also to their extensive range of hot melt cleaners, which cover everything form surface cleaning through to thorough system/application equipment cleaning.

Given that an effective cleaning process can make all the difference to meeting deadlines, boosting output and achieving daily goals, we are here to help set you on the right path and ensure you are getting the most out of your day.
