4-side edge cleaning for cleaning the longitudinal and cross edges of workpieces from overlapping melamine paper

Before chipboards are used to make furniture, for example, they are coated with a decorative décor paper. This is done in a short-cycle press under high pressure and heat. Depending on the panel manufacturer, the décor papers are printed with a variety of plain, wood or fantasy decors and, if necessary, provided with a wood structure.
After the coating process, the board must be cleaned of the overhanging décor paper. This is where SYSTRAPLAN's 4-sided edge cleaning system comes into use. Separate scraping elements are fitted on both sides of the board to scrape off the overhanging paper without damaging the board.
The cleaning of the longitudinal edges takes place during the run through of the workpiece. The transverse edges are cleaned by scraping elements that can be moved crosswise. For this purpose the workpieces are stopped at a central stop. The cleaning of the rear edge of the preceding panel and the front edge of the trailing panel takes place simultaneously. The scraper elements are equipped with hard metal tools for simultaneous cleaning of the upper and lower panel edges.
