SCM Group Minimax 230V Single Phase 23-fpm Pre-Milling Automatic Glue Pot Edgebander with Full Corner Rounding ME 35ETR

Description

The Minimax ME 35ETR is a 3-phase automatic edge bander with great flexibility for both thin and thick edges, intended to bridge the gap between a traditional small to mid-sized edge bander for woodworkers; to the more robust equipment used in the Classical line of products. Two of the key features are the pre-mill and corner rounding units. There is no competition in the U.S. market for such a small, versatile machine, with pre-mill or corner rounding that is so economical! This machine is meant to be used with melamine edges, PVC, and ABS up to 3mm. This amazing machine boasts capacities usually only found on much larger and expensive machines.

Designed for a perfect finish

A new combined end cutting-rounding unit with rigid structure for unique quality processing in its market segment. Now the rounding process is available for all workshops

Perfect edge cleaning

The glue is heated rapidly and evenly by the resistances. The automatic lowering of the glue temperature after a temporary halt in production when using the machine avoids burning of the glue. A new innovative system of self-lubrication of the glue pot, allows a more extensive use of the edge banding machine without the necessity of lubrication. Two rollers press the edge banding evenly and efficiently on the panel edge. The glue spreading roller with electrical resistance inside provides a uniform glue spread and always at the maximum working temperature even on panels at the maximum working height 

Brilliant idea

The optional unit allows you to make a radius on the corners of the edged panel without the need for the operator to have to finish by hand at a later stage: brilliant idea for a finished product of high quality 

Pre-Milling Unit

Complete with (2) diamond tools, 80 mm diameter. It allows a very good panel finish and linearity during pre-machining. It is equipped with independent exhaust hoods and an air blower which cleans the panel from dust and chips

Top and Bottom Trimming Unit

• High frequency motors
• Front rotating copiers with chrome plated surfaces and vertical copying discs for an accurate positioning of tools with reference to the cutting point 

The unit is provided with 55.3 mm diameter combined cutters 

• The radius part of the cutter is used to trim radius edges (1-2-3mm) and chamfered thin edges
• The straight part of the cutter is used for the trimming of edges in wood up to 5mm 

Changing from radius edge to edge in wood is done easily by moving the cutters. The edge thickness is displayed on 2 numeric readouts 

Edge Scraping Unit

It assures an excellent vibration free finish thanks to its high rigidity structure. High working precision thanks to the horizontal and vertical copying discs, which assure an accurate positioning of the knives in relation to the cutting point. It allows the finishing of 1-2-3mm PVC/ABS edges. Pair of knives included 

• Numerical readout for the positioning
• Manual exclusion of the unit 

Brushing Unit

Tilted, vertically adjustable motors to optimize the cleaning and polishing of the edge
