The bead applicator moves over the core where a one component moisture curing polyurethane adhesive is applied. The bead applicator is 300mm wide and traverses across the panel as it moves down the panel, this effect creates a 'diamond' pattern. The traversing action of the head dispenses slightly more adhesive at the edges of the product, by accurately controlling the coating width this is then stepped inwards from the side and allowed to squeeze out during the pressing process.

The core product will then be flipped and the second side will be coated. Also as the bead applicator travels along a water mist is also applied to activate the adhesive. The bead head comprises our new 'EASY CLEAN' solid Teflon head, this has nozzles set at 10mm centres, to a width of 300mm. 3 heads supplied 1 in use, 1 spare with side plates, and 1 curing .
