Edge banding with a zero joint line
Edge banding with a zero joint line
Technology for the precise application of hot melt adhesive onto the board edge for a perfect bond with no visible seam – for ABS, PVC, veneer and solid wood. Higher quality, lower adhesive consumption and a consistent result even at high production speeds.

What you are dealing with
- A visible seam and an imperfect edge bond reduce the quality of the product.
- Adhesive overflow and contamination, higher reject rates.
- High adhesive consumption and burning caused by imprecise application.
How Kaletech solves it
We supply technology for edge banding – precisely controlled application of hot melt adhesive (EVA, PO and PUR) onto the board edge. The result is even coverage and a zero joint line even at high speeds.
We will design the application technique to suit your operation, provide integration into existing edge banders and CNC centres, operator training and service. We will advise you on choosing a suitable adhesive.
Who the solution suits
- Furniture manufacturing
- Joineries
- Kitchen manufacturers
- Interior fittings
Key benefits of edge banding technology
Zero joint line
A perfect edge bond with no visible dark seam.
No overflow or contamination
Clean application with no overflow and lower reject rates.
Adhesive savings
Precise metering reduces adhesive consumption by up to a third.
EVA, PO and PUR
Adhesive choice to suit the requirement; PUR for resistance to water, heat and chemicals.
Consistent quality even at speed
A consistent bond even at a fast production rate.
Integration into lines and CNC
Easy connection to new and existing edge banding centres.
How it works and what technology is used
Hot melt adhesive is applied evenly by a slot (jetting) application head onto the board edge (MDF, chipboard, plywood). After the edge band is pressed on, a strong bond forms with a zero joint line.
The adhesive is melted by a Canduro, JumboFlex or Concept melter – we will recommend the right choice based on the required capacity and adhesive type. For a higher melting output with PUR adhesive, a RobaPUR 20 MOD unit can also be deployed.
Adhesive application onto the edge
The slot head applies an even layer of hot melt adhesive across the full width and length of the board edge.
Pressing on the edge band
The band is pressed onto the glued edge – ABS, PVC, acrylic, melamine, veneer or solid wood.
Formation of the zero joint line
The adhesive creates a clean, barely visible bond between the board and the edge.
A strong and durable bond
With PUR adhesive, the bond is resistant to water, heat and chemicals – suitable even for kitchens and bathrooms.

„The aim was to replace the manual gluing of ironing boards with a faster and more economical solution – and that succeeded. Robatech supplied complete gluing equipment thanks to which we saved a quarter of the costs on both adhesive and production staff. I believe the cooperation will continue on further Leifheit projects."

Frequently asked questions
EVA and polyolefin (PO) adhesives are thermoplastic and cost-effective for everyday applications. Reactive PUR adhesive, once cured, resists water, heat and chemicals – it is chosen where higher resistance is needed (kitchens, bathrooms). We will recommend the right type for your operation.
