Brandt NBU Grease

Brandt (usually operating as HOMAG/Brandt) furniture machinery, specifically edgebanders, requires specialized maintenance to maintain high-quality production and minimize downtime. Key maintenance services include regular inspections, cleaning, lubrication, and, when necessary, full machine rebuilds.

Regular lubrication of the edge banding machine is very important. The bearings of the various parts should be lubricated regularly, and the proper lubricating oil must be selected.

Edge banding machine maintenance requires daily cleaning of glue pots, removing debris with compressed air, and lubricating moving parts (chains, bearings) to ensure longevity and precise, high-quality finishes. Key actions include inspecting trimming blades for wear, cleaning glue buildup with proper solvents, checking air pressure, and lubricating the conveyor feed track at least twice a week

BRANDT Edgebanders lubricating grease

Brandt edge banding machine lubrication is essential for longevity, requiring daily to monthly maintenance. Key areas include the conveyor chain, feed rollers, glue pot bearings, and linear guides. Use high-temperature grease for glue units, light oil for guide rails, and specialized lubricants (e.g., HOMAG 4-017-02-0010 and our its replacement Molylub GlueFett HMG) to prevent wear and clogging

PRODUCT COMPOSITION TEMPERATURES APPLICATION PDF
Molylub GlueFett HMG Silicone oil/ Urea thickener + PTFE From -40 up 260 Blue high-temperature grease, created on the basis of a special phenyl-methyl silicone oil and polyurea thickener with PTFE / Teflon lubricants. Designed for lubrication and sealing of heavily loaded bearings, valves, dampers. This product is significantly more resistant to water, moisture and aggressive chemical media than conventional mineral, synthetic or even silicone greases.

Every machine needs to adjust and maintain for their best performance. Edgebanding machine contains the processes of: pre-milling, spray anti-glue coating agent, preheating of the plate, pressure sealing and cutting, front and rear cutting and roughing up and down, scratch repair and polishing, each process needs to check regularly in case of the worn of machine parts or computer system failure cause the damage of machine.

The guide rails of the edge banding machine should be cleaned every day. I recommend adding the 46th rail oil to the sliding surface, or the oil sealing hole. The edge banding machine oil water separator and oil cup is filled with low viscosity air compressor oil; add two-thirds of the oil cup. For the edge banding machine main drive motor, check the gear oil whether need to add every two months. The gears under the glue box of the edge banding machine should be inspected and cleaned every 40 hours, and filled with high viscosity grease.

The head rail part needs to be blown clean with an air gun every day, and then injected into the sewing machine oil or transformer oil, one or two times a day.

The glue pot is a vital part of the edge banding machine. It is called the heart of the edge banding machine. The glue pot is used to melt the sol particles into liquid glue by heating, and then send the glue liquid to the gluing roller through the conveying device. The glue roller applies the adhesive to the board’s edge and the edge banding strip respectively to perform edge banding. Therefore, it is essential to regularly inspect and maintain the glue pot. Otherwise, it will affect the edge banding effect and the quality of the workpiece.

Edge banding machines are essential tools in woodworking and furniture manufacturing, and maintaining them properly is crucial for ensuring their longevity and optimal performance. Regular maintenance not only helps prevent unexpected breakdowns but also improves the quality of your work. Here are some practical maintenance tips to maximize the lifespan of your edge banding machine.
