Sandwich boards - edge banding and processing with IMA throughfeed or stationary systems

New high-tech low-weight boards / composite panels are increasingly utilised as attractive materials in furniture construction, interior construction and related branches.

The structure of these low-weight but stiff ›sandwich boards‹ with two thin flat surface finishes, or facings, linked with each other through honeycomb-type or cellular-core structures formed with aluminium foils, tubular aluminium rails, stabilised textile fibres or paper board requires modified edge banding processes.

IMA offers two processes for a reliable bonding between the facing and edging materials both for stationary systems and throughfeed systems. Furthermore, the core can be treated so that the edging and the adhesive joint are given enough strength for reliably fixing the ironmongery.
