Ease-of-use with all inclusive equipment: the SCM Minimax ME 35 Automatic Edge Bander, with gluing of the panel edge, also with edging solid wood strips up to 5 mm thickness, offers the “very best” performance in edge banders at this level. The features, coupled to its ease-of-use, makes it the perfect edge bander for small woodworking, furniture and panel processing companies.

Further enhanced compared to its predecessor with the new end cutting-rounding unit. This new unit allows further processing, saving a substantial amount of time with an ease of processing. This technological solution is unique in its category, where such operations are normally a feature of more expensive and higher level machinery.

Advantages

Designed for a perfect finish
A new combined end cutting-rounding unit with rigid structure for unique quality processing in its market segment. Now the rounding process is available for all workshops.

Perfect edge cleaning
The glue is heated rapidly and evenly by the resistances. The automatic lowering of the glue temperature after a temporary halt in production when using the machine avoids burning of the glue. A new innovative system of self-lubrication of the glue pot, allows a more extensive use of the edge banding machine without the necessity of lubrication. Two rollers press the edge banding evenly and efficiently on to the panel edge. The glue spreading roller with electrical resistance inside provides a uniform glue spread and always at the maximum working temperature even on panels at the maximum working height.

Brilliant idea
The optional unit allows you to make a radius on the corners of the edged panel without the need for the operator to have to finish by hand at a later stage: brillant idea to a finished product of high quality.

Profiles types
These are all the types of profiles that is possible to process with this machine.
