PUR CLEAN OUT INSTRUCTIONS AND VIDEO
When using PUR, you must clean out and flush the glue pot of all PUR glue and replace it with EVA glue to prevent damage to the glue pot when PUR glue is left in it.. See info and video below. Please note that any damage to the glue pot if not cleaned out correctly is not covered under Fastbind's parts warranty.
GLUES AND GLUE APPLICATOR
PUR (Polyurethane) hotmelt glue
PUR glue is used for papers that are difficult to bind with EVA glue or for very thick books to add flexibility of the spine.
• Sold in granules, recommended glue: Henkel Technomelt PUR 3317 BR Hot Melt, Fastbind product code 718028
• A fume extraction system is recommended. If using a fume extractor, a Fastbind connection kit is also recommended. The unit should not be operated without proper ventilation when using PUR glue.
• If the glue applicator is not cleaned daily after use, the PUR glue solidifies and the applicator has to be replaced. This parts warranty is void if the glue pot is damaged by not removing and cleaning immediately after usage. Contact Fastbind for more information.
• Select the low temperature setting on the glue switch (pressing down) for PUR glue.
Cleaning the tank of PUR glue
• After finishing the book binding, the PUR glue must always be drained, flushed with EVA glue and emptied from the tank (see chapter 12 in the binder manual) at the end of each day and at the latest 6 hours after use. Otherwise the PUR glue will solidify in the tank and the glue applicator will be unusable.
• Any damage due to improper draining and cleaning of the PUR glue is not covered by the warranty.
• See "chapter 7--12" in the manual (download here)
EVA (Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate) and type 10.0 Hotmelt glue
Recommended glue: Fastbind hot melt type 10.0, for normal binding operations.
• Generic glue for normal papers
• The type 10.0 EVA adhesive can be left in the tank at all times (no need for draining or cleaning).
• Select the high temperature setting on the glue switch (pressing up)
FUME EXTRACTOR
Extractor hood and readiness for fume extraction
• Either a connection to your existing external/outside ventilation or a fume extraction unit is recommended for all PUR glue operations. No fume extraction device is included in the delivery.
Connection to the extractor hood
• The machine can be connected to an external fume extractor. An easy fitting kit with a hose connection adaptor can be purchased from Fastbind.
WARNING!
• Hot PUR glue emits fume containing isocyanate. Glue fumes can be harmful. Read the material safety data
sheet for the PUR –glue before using the glue. Do not use PUR glue without sufficient fume extraction or proper
ventilation. Follow all local and federal guidelines for proper ventilation.
