In this blog, we’ll explore the key benefits and features of each model, highlighting why Paul OTT is the go-to choice for modern carpenters and how these edgebanders can elevate your production line.
Why Choose Paul OTT Edgebanders?
Paul OTT edgebanders are renowned for their innovative design, robust construction, and ability to produce flawless edges that enhance the visual and functional appeal of furniture. With a focus on zero glue line adhesion and the advanced CombiMelt gluing system, these machines deliver superior bonding strength, durability, and a seamless finish that sets your products apart. Here’s why Paul OTT stands out:
-
Zero Glue Line Adhesion: Using PUR (Polyurethane Reactive) adhesive, Paul OTT edgebanders achieve an invisible glue line, creating a monolithic appearance where the edgeband and panel blend seamlessly. This eliminates visible joints, prevents dirt accumulation, and resists yellowing, ensuring a high-end, polished look.
-
PUR Adhesive Benefits: PUR adhesive forms a chemical bond that’s waterproof, heat-resistant, and highly durable, making it ideal for demanding environments like kitchens, bathrooms, and healthcare facilities. Its thin application enhances aesthetics while maintaining strength, and modern PUR systems reduce maintenance with easy cleaning and storage solutions.
-
Versatility and Efficiency: From compact designs to high-capacity production, Paul OTT edgebanders process a wide range of materials, including veneer, plastic, and solid wood edges, with precision and speed.
-
Automation and Ease of Use: Servo-controlled workstations and automatic glue dosage streamline operations, reducing manual adjustments and boosting productivity.

The Power of Zero Glue Line Adhesion and PUR Adhesive
The hallmark of Paul OTT edgebanders is their ability to achieve zero glue line adhesion, a game-changer in modern woodworking. By utilizing PUR adhesive in the patented CombiMelt gluing system, these machines create an invisible glue joint that’s both aesthetically superior and functionally robust. Here’s why this technology matters:
-
Seamless Aesthetics: The zero glue line creates a monolithic appearance, eliminating visible joints that can collect dirt or yellow over time. This is especially critical for high-gloss or contemporary designs where flawless finishes are non-negotiable.
-
Superior Durability: PUR adhesive forms a chemical bond that’s waterproof, heat-resistant, and resistant to chemicals, making it ideal for furniture in kitchens, bathrooms, and healthcare settings. Unlike EVA glue, PUR maintains its integrity in harsh conditions, preventing delamination.
-
Hygienic and Low Maintenance: The invisible glue line resists bacteria growth, a key advantage for public spaces. Additionally, the CombiMelt system simplifies PUR maintenance with a service station for easy glue changeovers and a dry box for preserving melted glue, reducing waste and cleaning time.
-
Precision Application: Automatic glue dosage ensures a thin, consistent layer of PUR, achieving the “zero glue joint” without compromising bond strength. This precision enhances both the visual appeal and longevity of the finished product.
Compared to traditional EVA adhesives, PUR offers unmatched performance, though it requires proper handling to avoid curing issues. Paul OTT’s advanced systems mitigate these challenges, making PUR adhesive accessible and efficient for all users.
