bonding line

To ensure the highest possible bond quality, all laminates and core materials are conditioned for at least 48 hours prior to bonding.

Similar to our decorative panel storage and retrieval system, our bonding line incorporates its own dedicated storage and retrieval system. This addition, not only improves efficiency but also reduces the manual handling efforts of our operators.

The panel brushing system ensures that all core boards are free from all dust and particles prior to entering the glue spreader. Furthermore improving the final quality of our laminated panels.
