Before the buffing wheels or the flat scraper, a cleaning agent is sprayed onto the upper and lower edge areas of the workpiece – at LcM® this is Lc 2/30 or, VOC-free, iClean.
What the cleaning agent does
- It loosens previously applied fluids (e.g. release agent) and loose glue residue.
- The buffing wheels pick up the loosened residue and polish the edge.
- It also cools the edge band and the glue joint.
Why more is not better
A common misunderstanding: if the result is not right, the quantity is increased. But too much cleaning agent saturates the buffing wheels – they then spread residue over the panel instead of absorbing it and can re-dissolve fresh glue at the joint.
Better this way
- Check spray pattern and nozzle position – the fluid belongs on the edge areas, not on the surface.
- Check the condition of the buffing wheels and change them in good time.
- Alternative to the buffing unit: BRUSH-tec® E or ES with the matching BRUSH-tec® agent.
