According to the shape characteristics of the edges of the processed parts, the edge sealing of panel furniture can be divided into straight edge sealing and curved edge sealing. With the increasing promotion of panel furniture, while maintaining direct edge sealing production, it is necessary to add some curved components to beautify the product shape and improve the value of the entire workpiece. However, the processing speed of curve edge banding is slow, which not only increases the aesthetic appeal but also limits the production speed. At present, the edge banding of panel furniture is mostly carried out on edge banding machines. The selection and configuration of edge banding machines mainly depend on the shape characteristics of the workpiece to be processed, the type of edge banding material, and also consider issues such as productivity and quality. Edge banding machines can be divided into manual, semi-automatic, and fully automatic according to their degree of automation. Straight edge banding can use ordinary straight edge banding machines, as well as soft forming edge banding machines, post forming edge banding machines, double end edge banding machines, etc. Relatively speaking, curve edge banding is more complex and can be performed using manual edge banding machines, machining centers, semi-automatic or fully automatic CNC edge banding machines.

In the factories of edge banding manufacturers, everyone knows that PVC edge banding is a product mainly made of polyethylene. During the production process, some additives such as plasticizers, lubricants, and stabilizers are added, and after several processes, a plastic roll is completed. It is widely used in our daily lives. However, there are a few issues that need to be pointed out, that is, the dimensional stability of PVC edge banding is not very good. After studying, the staff of Oudeya found that there are several factors that have a great impact on PVC edge banding. Let me explain them in detail to you.

Common Problems and Analysis of Furniture Edge Sealing 1. When performing edge trimming procedures, the edges are prone to detachment The glue coating is too thin; The material is too cold or damp (especially when just glued); If the glue line is clearly visible and displays the pattern of the glue roller, it may be because the temperature of the glue roller is too low; The conveyor belt speed is too slow; The temperature of the surrounding environment or materials is too low (working below 15 ° C); Insufficient pressure. 2. The initial position and location of the edge banding are not ideal The roller pressing wheel needs to master the skills to make adjustments, and extend the position to increase the roller pressure. The 125px position at the beginning or end of the adhesive surface of the adhesive roller is often not ideal, because the adhesive roller at the head and tail positions is prone to insufficient pressure, and when in high-speed production, the contact between the adhesive roller and the panel is prone to jumping. 3. The effect of bonding both sides is good on one side and not good on the other Poor contact between the panel (substrate) and the pressure wheel; Uneven application of glue leads to glue leakage, which hinders the edge sealing process. 4. Intermittent poor adhesion condition The liquid state of hot melt adhesive is too low in temperature; When the edge banding machine is tuned too fast and the amount of glue applied is too high, the hot melt cylinder fails to melt the hot melt adhesive in a timely manner, resulting in uneven glue application; The temperature of the hot melt machine is unstable.

1. Poor plasticization of PVC edge banding (1) There is a toad skin like phenomenon on the surface of the plastic layer. (2) The temperature control is low, the instrument pointer reflects a low temperature, and the actual measured temperature is also low. (3) The surface of the plastic is blackened and has small cracks or poorly plasticized particles. (4) The plastic glue is not sewn well, with a clear mark.

After a long conversation with the clients, many of them have asked some questions about edge banding. Today, when I have time, I have compiled them for everyone's reference. 1) Folding white refers to the phenomenon of whitening at the bent edge after making a small curved edge on the edge banding strip, and this whitening will not be restored after the edge banding strip is straightened again. This phenomenon is more pronounced for dark edge banding. 2) Bouncing edge, which is prone to produce popping edges when trimming the edge strip. Of course, the reason for the occurrence of jumping edges is not only due to the high content of calcium carbonate powder. When the hot melt adhesive for edge sealing is not properly mixed with the feeding speed, it can cause the edge sealing strip to not fully adhere to the board during trimming, resulting in edge jumping due to the floating of the edge sealing strip. 3) The edge glossiness of the edge banding after trimming and grinding is poor, resulting in a poor appearance effect. At present, low-quality edge banding strips on the market contain over 60% calcium carbonate powder to reduce costs. As for the different equivalent products of the same brand, it is mainly their calcium carbonate powder content. 4) Cracking, due to the high content of calcium carbonate, causes the edge banding to lack toughness and the internal structure to be loose. It will crack under slight external force, especially during transportation at low temperatures.

1. Heat, oxygen, light aging discoloration Many people believe that to solve the problem of inconsistent color in PVC edge banding processing, as long as the yellowing profile production line is lowered in processing temperature, the color difference can be reduced. But some people also believe that PVC has a greater impact on yellowing CPE、 Stabilizers, PVC from different batches CPE、 Stabilizers and other main auxiliary materials may have different color differences during processing. In this case, even adding a certain amount of whitening agent or anti-aging agent alone will not have much effect. The main manifestation of discoloration caused by heat, oxygen, and light aging is yellowing of profiles. Some stabilizer manufacturers claim that using their products can reduce the number of parts and lower costs compared to similar manufacturers when promoting their products. Although the results can also produce PVC profiles that appear satisfactory, in the recycling of waste and strict process temperature requirements, due to insufficient thermal stability efficiency, the damage to PVC molecular structure cannot be observed by the naked eye. Therefore, the following situations occur during production: (1) During the processing of PVC edge banding, it was found that the color was not uniform (slight deviation in color is allowed); (2) The profile shows obvious yellowing after heating deformation; (3) The state is good after heating, but the profile becomes gray after being made into doors and windows for a short time. The profile does not turn yellow during normal production, but turns yellow in later window products. In the production process of profiles, when the basic conditions such as raw materials and molds remain unchanged, if the temperature of the plasticizing and homogenization sections is increased by about 5 ℃, the resulting profiles tend to turn yellow, indicating insufficient thermal stability efficiency. Therefore, the amount of heat stabilizer added should be increased, especially when adding whitening agents such as fluorescent whitening agents in the formula. The reason for discoloration of PVC profiles is not obvious due to insufficient heat stabilizer.
