2.9 Glue
Glue drum temperature:
To select between 140° and 165°C using the knob (1)
For the supplied glue (National coolbind 1300) select 140°C.
See safety data sheet (in appendix) for information about space and ventilation
requirements.
Note : • If an other type of glue is used of the recommended one (National Coolbind
1300), please refer to the safety data sheet of the used glue.
• Vapours which may be formed at elevated temperature may be irritating to
eyes and respiratory tract. A local exhaust over glue tank and a good
ventilation of the room are required.
• Different fume regeneration/extraction are available following the type of
binder (see spare parts catalog).
Glue level in the tank:
The check of the glue level takes place when the drums are rotating. When the level gets
low, the minimum mark in the bottom of the tank in the glue compartment becomes
visible.* To avoid an overflow, fill the tank with glue granules until they reach to the
bottom of the funnel (3). When melted, they should just cover the maximum mark.
CAUTION: The glue amount should never be over the maximum level either below
the minimum level.
Prefer a regular filling.
*
Neglecting to refill in time may result in damage to the glue tank.
Glue distribution :
• The film of glue on the drum is controlled automatically.
• A glue spreader removes the excess of glue from the spine of the book,
its height is adjustable by means of a thumbwheel (2):
• At zero, almost all the glue is removed from the spine.
• At 9, about 1 mm of glue is left on the spine.
Important: Never change the adjustment (2) by more than two graduations
without checking the result.
Never change the adjustment when glue is not at fusion temperature
