How to clean EVA hot melt glue pot, I believe many furniture factories will be interested in this topic, because now many furniture factories are mainly engaged in panel furniture, so EVA edge banding hot melt glue is an indispensable glue. However, if the manufacturer does not clean the glue pot for a long time, it will inevitably have a negative impact on the finished furniture. Below, I will share with you why you should clean the EVA hot melt glue pot regularly and how to clean the EVA hot melt glue pot:
1.Why should we clean the EVA hot melt adhesive pot regularly
Because the hot melt glue pot is in a high-temperature heating state for a long time, if the glue pot is not cleaned, first of all, the rubber on the bottom of the glue pot is prone to carbonization, which will not only affect the heat conduction of the heating plate and increase power consumption but also easily burn the heating plate;
Secondly, the carbonized rubber has lost its bonding properties. If these rubbers flow into the roller glue shaft or even enter the edge banding process, the glue will not have a bonding effect and may even cause edge peeling. This is a situation that we must avoid during the edge banding process.
2.How to Clean a Hot Melt Glue Pot
Step 1. According to the actual melting temperature of the hot melt adhesive, set the edge banding machine sol glue pot to the corresponding temperature in advance (the melting point temperatures of high, medium, and low temperatures are different) to ensure that the hot melt adhesive in the glue pot can reach a molten state for better cleaning.
Step 2: Use a special shovel to shovel the glue and carbonized rubber in the glue pot onto the discarded cardboard.
Step 3: Add paraffin wax or detergent into the glue pot to dissolve it. At this time, the glue pot needs to be heated to allow the paraffin and residual glue to form a liquid mixture.
Step 4: Use a discarded cloth to absorb the liquid mixture of paraffin and glue, and wipe the inside of the glue pot clean.
Step 5. Keep the glue pot heating plate open to allow the water inside the glue pot to evaporate. The next time you use the edge banding machine for edge banding, you can use a few pieces of discarded boards for edge banding. Make sure the edge banding effect is good and you can do it normally.
The above are the reasons why EVA hot melt glue pots need to be cleaned regularly and the steps for cleaning EVA hot melt glue pots. Furniture manufacturers can clean them every half a month to a month according to their production output to ensure that the edge banding equipment maintains optimal working condition.
