OverviewThe Glue Unit GU-M from BHS Corrugated applies minimal, evenly distributed glue across the full working width of corrugated board to ensure optimal bonding and consistent surface quality.
Glue Unit GU-MEven application across flute sizes The GU-M is an engineered optimisation of a proven concept. It delivers uniform glue application at all production speeds and preserves surface quality while minimising adhesive usage. Direct-drive applicator rolls allow independent speed settings per unit level.
Technical featuresControls are integrated into the front panel and can be operated from the Machine Control Center (MCC) with touch panel for comprehensive process overview. An integrated glue level monitoring system includes downstream feed actuation to maintain consistent supply.
Automated glue damsMaintain cleanliness Automated glue dams prevent adhesive deposition outside the maximum laminating width and protect downstream hotplates from contamination. Glue dams are individually adjustable for each Glue Unit level.
Advantages- Wear-resistant pressure shoes for consistent press-on behaviour across different paper grammages
- Direct drive at each station for individually adjustable glue application speed
- Paper-edge capture for automatic glue dam adjustment
- Stainless-steel glue tub with integrated cleaning function
- Reduced adhesive consumption for improved energy efficiency
- Integrated monitoring of paper tears
Machine safetyDesigned to high standards The Glue Unit is engineered and manufactured to comply with applicable safety regulations and industrial standards, supporting reliable and safe operation.
