Assembly, Set-Up, and User Instructions

Assembly

The Glue Roller takes minimal assembly out of the box. Just a few steps and you’re ready to start gluing.

• Assemble 12v motor to motor bracket (18mm “long” screw)

• Connect 12v motor bracket to motor riser(8mm “short” screw)

• Insert aluminum doctor roller in to doctor roller risers and tighten set screws

• Attach all components to base board as pictured, and leave loose to allow adjustment

• Plug motor into the port labeled “M”

• Roller Assembly

  • Slide roller onto drive shaft and align with indent

  • next slide bushing and collar onto the drive shaft and secure with set screw

  • add bearings to each side of the shaft and set into bearing slots on the risers

  • Adjust all risers to align drive shaft with coupler. Insert shaft into coupler and tighten set screw

• Now tighten risers into the base board to secure in place

Tuning / Set-Up

• Loosen the 4 screws (2 each) on the doctor roller assembly

• Move aluminum roller towards / away from roller to fine tune glue application thickness

  • A good starting gap is about the thickness of pencil lead or a piece of paper folded twice

Operation

• Plug in power supply to the port labeled “P”

• Only fill glue pan to 1/2 of capacity or less (this is to avoid getting glue on the roller set screw)

• Turn the control knob clockwise to switch device ON and adjust speed

• Add glue as needed throughout the process by pouring into the pan

• Under normal operations, the system can run for 2-3 hours before the glue begins to tack up (depends on environmental conditions)

• Technique - Simply place your strip on the roller and pull back at the pace of the roller. Adjust the speed to your liking.

  • This takes some practice to get used to. Do some dry runs before adding glue!!

Clean-Up

• Disengage shaft from the coupler with the set screw

• Remove roller assembly and squeeze excess glue out of the roller into the pan

• Remove collar and bushing from roller assembly

• Remove roller and store in bucket of water (long term storage) or a small air tight container (short term storage)

• For short term glue storage, glue can stay in the glue pan with the lid (2-3 weeks)

• For long term glue storage, return excess glue to the original glue bottle (Longer than 3 weeks)

• Clean doctor roller with damp paper towel and clean any other surfaces as needed

• Keep bearings and roller shaft lubricated to avoid corrosion
