The challenge
Optimize the lamination of edges with PUR adhesives
JJ Cocinas, an expert manufacturer of kitchen units, starts a productive change in one of its manufacturing lines dedicated to the lamination of edges, relying on Meler’s team.
Our contribution
The integration of an edge banding system with a PUR applicator
The focus is now being placed on quality furniture items and process improvements. Meler has also felt these effects. “The extensive knowledge offered by the Meler team in the use of structural adhesives has helped to improve work patterns”.
José Miguel Casado, a Focke Meler technician specialised in the use of reactive polyurethanes in the industry, explains that “existing PURs improve productivity and guarantee quality in the end product, even in exports. However, they pose new challenges for our customers given that their use implies a productive change. Cleaning and maintenance processes need to be changed to prevent adhesive reticulation, and temperature control must be more precise. That’s why our technical work is so essential”.
The project (duration, destination, sector)
The production advantages brought about by the lamination system
Although the applications are similar, each installation is unique and our clients have designed their own production processes, meaning that a personalised and professional service is essential.
Jesús de Abajo, manager of JJ Cocinas, explains the production advantages brought about by the lamination system with edge applicator compared with the use of the roller system.
