Glue Pot for NikMann Edgebanders
What is a Glue Pot in Edgebanders?
A glue pot in an edgebander is a key component that melts and applies adhesive (typically PUR or EVA glue) to the edge of a panel before the edge banding material is pressed onto it. It ensures proper bonding between the edge of the panel and the edging tape (such as PVC, ABS, veneer, or melamine).

In an edgebander, the glue application unit is responsible for evenly spreading heated adhesive—like EVA—onto the edge of the board. This ensures a strong, durable bond between the board and the edging material (such as ABS, PVC, or wood veneer).
The glue pot in a NikMann edgebanders is a key component that ensures precise and consistent glue application. Here are the essential technical specifications and functions:
Capacity: Typically ranges from 1 to 2 kg (varies by model).
Heating System: Uses thermostatic control to maintain optimal glue temperature.
Preheating Time: Usually 10 to 15 minutes to reach operational temperature.
Temperature Control: Adjustable, usually in the range of 120°C to 200°C, depending on the type of adhesive.
Overheat Protection: Prevents glue degradation and burning.

Key Functions of the Glue Pot:
Melts the Adhesive:
The glue pot heats the solid glue granules or cartridges to a specific temperature, turning them into a liquid for application.Applies Glue Evenly:
Using rollers or nozzles, the glue pot ensures a consistent and even coat of adhesive on the panel edge.Maintains Temperature:
It keeps the glue at the optimal working temperature throughout the edge banding process to ensure proper adhesion.
Types of Glue Pots:
Standard Glue Pots:
Used for EVA hot melt adhesives, easy to refill and clean, ideal for general use.PUR-Compatible Glue Pots:
Designed for Polyurethane (PUR) Glue, which provides superior bonding strength, water resistance and heat resistance. These glue pots are often Teflon-coated and sealed to prevent moisture contamination.Quick-Change Glue Pots:
Allow for faster cleaning and glue type changes, improving workflow in high-mix production environments.
