In our catalog you can choose a complete set of equipment to perform any production operation efficiently and quickly, including edge processing. Our edge banding machines are reliable lines and machining centers that can work reliably and for a long time for you.
The modern consumer will not be surprised by cheap furniture, and the choice today is varied, so buyers are looking not only for affordable furniture, but also for quality. Furniture production of various sizes has to switch to new technologies and purchase high-tech equipment, otherwise production will become unprofitable.
Purpose:
The machines cover straight and curved edges of furniture panels and blanks with natural strip or synthetic roll material. Edgebanding machines are divided into simple positional ones with manual feeding of workpieces, single-sided edgebanding machines and double-sided edgebanding lines. The equipment options for each type of machine are also different - the configuration of edge banding equipment depends on the complexity of the furniture elements, the volume of its production, the customer’s wishes for the quality of the veneer and other nuances.

Choosing an edge bander can seem daunting at first. But with the right approach, you can get durable and reliable equipment that can improve production processes when making furniture on an industrial scale or in a small home workshop.
Positional edge banding machines.
Designed for lining straight and curved edges of furniture panels and blanks with natural strip or synthetic roll material.
Principle of operation:
- Fig.1
Edge gluing on positional edge banding machines is done using granular hot melt adhesive. The glue is poured into a bath, where it melts due to heating elements at a certain temperature set by an electronic device. The hot melt adhesive from the bath is fed onto a glue spreading roller with a dosing device. The dosing device is used to regulate the consumption of applied glue. Typically, hot melt adhesive in these machines is applied to the edge, but there can also be a combined application of glue to the edge and the workpiece.
So, the edge material is driven by a drive mechanism using a foot pedal at a certain feed speed (usually adjusted and adjusted to the workpiece). Next, hot glue is applied to the edge and by moving the workpiece manually along the table, the machine operator grabs the edge with the applied glue and moves the workpiece at the feed speed of the edge. rolling it by pressing the workpiece against stationary or driven rollers. By releasing the foot pedal, the edging material is cut automatically by the guillotine and its feeding stops, thereby making the machine ready for applying an edge to the next workpiece.
Now all that remains is to remove the overhangs of the edge material from the workpieces using hand or electric tools or special equipment.

Hot melt adhesive for positional edge banding machines
We recommend using hot melt adhesive for low feed speeds and low melting temperatures. The adhesive produced by Kleiberit brand 788.3, a medium-filled hot melt adhesive for edges made of veneer, PVC, ABS and impregnated paper for manual machines, is well suited for these purposes. Technical parameters of the glue can be found here.
Review of the latest machines
If the best automatic edge banding machines are created abroad, then hand tools work well here in Russia. Thus, the domestic manufacturing plant KROM offers customers one of its latest innovations: the manual edge banding machine KROM 750 . This small setup is a great option for a small furniture business. The device is distinguished by high quality components and strict control during assembly. At the same time, it is much cheaper and more durable than its imported analogues, such as Virutex and Wegoma.
The technical characteristics of this “baby” are also impressive. Thanks to the powerful heating element, it is ready for full operation within 9 minutes after starting. The maximum radius of curvature of the workpiece that it can veneer is 40 mm. Designed for gluing PVC edges with a width of 10-45 mm and a thickness of 0.3-3.0 mm at a speed of 5 m/min. Operating temperature: 120-180 °C. It also has a built-in glue reservoir with a capacity of 270 ml. The machine comes with a repair kit for quickly eliminating minor faults. And to expand the functionality of the device, you can additionally purchase an electric trimmer for removing edge overhangs or a manual trimmer.
Among the universal edgebanding machines, in which the material can be fed both manually and automatically, we highlight a new product from the Austrian manufacturer FELDER. The FORKA 300 S eco model is also designed for
curved and for straight cladding. Moreover, the machine is initially also equipped with a device for preliminary trimming of rolled edge material. The presence of a large work table allows you to paste over large parts, including those of great thickness. The developers of this machine compare working on this device with a child's game, assuring that it has no equal in its class in terms of simplicity and convenience.
Single Side Automatic Edge Banding Machines
Purpose: Automatic edge banding machine, pass-through type, designed for lining the edges of the straight sides of panels in automatic mode with various edge materials.
Principle of operation:

- Fig.5
- Fig.6
Let's consider the principle of operation on a machine with the maximum configuration of units and devices included in the machine. Machines are available with and without CNC. CNC machines are controlled by an electronic device capable of changing machine settings automatically; on non-CNC machines, equipment adjustment is done manually. During processing, workpieces are moved by means of a drive conveyor with an adjustable feed speed or without adjustment.
The first unit in the machines (Fig. 4 on the left) is the unit for preliminary milling of the end of the workpiece. Allows you to eliminate defects on workpieces that arise as a result of cutting (chips, steps from a scoring saw), as well as defects associated with the low quality of chipboard, MDF board materials (thickening at the ends). Next: IR - lamp for preheating the workpiece Allows preheating of the end of the workpiece before the glue-applying unit to improve adhesion and uniform distribution of the glue-melt. Next: Edge material feed magazine Includes a driven feed roller and a special holder for feeding strip material. Next: Glue application unit This unit is used to apply and adjust the amount of glue. The glue temperature is regulated by an electronic control unit, which ensures that the desired temperature is maintained and prevents overheating of the glue.
The following units installed on the machine are used to process the removal of edge material overhangs. The first unit (Fig. 14 on the left) is the overhang trimming unit. Finish trimming of edge overhangs is carried out automatically using two saws. Next: Overhang milling unit. The milling unit is equipped with two R2 radius cutters and floating tracers that allow you to monitor the thickness of the workpiece, which ensures excellent quality of the machined surface. Next: Unit for automatic rounding of the end corners of the glued edge material Allows you to automatically round the end corners of the edge material without stopping the workpiece. Next: The scraping unit carries out finishing processing of material (pvc/abs) with a thickness of 1 to 3 mm and completely eliminates such a defect as a “kinematic wave” that occurs when milling overhangs of edge material at high feed speeds.
The following units serve to impart a high-quality appearance to the resulting furniture piece. Industrial hair dryers (Fig. 15 on the left). Designed to restore the natural color of the edge material after processing at the scraping unit. Next: Polishing unit. Designed to polish the processed part of the edge, remove excess hot melt adhesive, and give it a natural color and shine.

Hot melt adhesive for automatic edge banding machines
The choice of hot melt adhesive is made depending on the equipment used and the tasks facing production. For medium-speed machines, the most suitable is the hot melt adhesive produced by Kleiberit 788.7, a medium-filled hot melt adhesive for edges made of veneer, PVC, ABS and impregnated paper for feed speeds up to 15 m/min, its technical characteristics can be viewed here. For high feed speeds, you can use hot melt adhesive 744.4, a medium-fill hot melt adhesive for veneer, PVC, ABS and impregnated paper edges for feed speeds from 20 to 40 m/min, its technical characteristics can be found here. There are machines manufactured by Holz-her that do not use granular hot melt adhesive, but cartridge adhesive. For these machines, Kleiberit has glue brand 782/.0, its technical characteristics can be found here.
Features of materials
A variety of materials can be used for cladding slabs:
- PVC and other types of plastic.
- Paper. It usually has several layers or is reinforced with other material.
- Melamine.
- Veneer.
The thickness of the edge material should be 0.4-3 millimeters, and the width should be from 2 to 6 centimeters. Due to the fact that the machine creates high pressure, the lining is securely fixed to the edge.
Most often, an edgebanding machine is oriented towards the use of special hot-melt adhesive. When heated, it begins to melt, and when cooled, it hardens. This technology allows you to reliably fasten the edge and material, but the specialist needs to monitor the temperature of the adhesive composition. If you do not do this, the system will lose stability - in other words, the edge will peel off.
To reduce labor costs and rationally solve the issue of optimizing the work process, it is best to buy an automatic edge banding machine. Such a unit will eliminate the human factor, increase production volumes, and also reduce costs. The main advantage of automatic equipment is that it is suitable for both small-scale and large-scale furniture production. Such units are compact in size, so they will not take up much space in small workshops.
The most popular among private craftsmen, businessmen and large organizations are the WoodTec Compact series edge banding machines, as well as the EdgeMatic PRO industrial equipment. They are in demand in all countries of the former CIS because they have high power, which ensures their stable and efficient operation throughout their entire service life.
Double-sided edge banding lines
Purpose: allows you to veneer two parallel, opposite edges of a rectangular panel blank in one pass at once, called. Features of double-sided machines: When particle board began to replace wood slabs and other panel parts in furniture production, it turned out that it looked quite unsightly when cut. In addition, formaldehyde is released through its unlined edges, gradually poisoning the entire volume of the room. Therefore, lining the edges of the panel parts from chipboard has become mandatory on all four sides. At the same time, the productivity of a double-sided machine is exactly two times greater than that of a single-sided machine. A double-sided edge banding machine (Fig. 9, 10) is actually two single-sided edgebanders facing each other. They are placed on a single bed so that one of them can move along the guides of this bed to adjust to the width of the workpiece being processed. The units for gluing the edge material and processing the edges are similar to those used in double-sided ones, practically the same as in single-sided ones. Their composition is also selected depending on the type of adhesives and edge material.
