PTFE Scraper Flat Shovel - Adhesive Removal Tool for Edgebanding Machine

Cleaning an edgebander glue pot is the job this tool is cut for. It is a flat PTFE shovel 149 mm long, 39 mm wide and 5 mm thick, with a 60 mm scraping head, and it is white so adhesive residue shows before it is carried back into the pot. The non-stick PTFE body lifts cooled glue in a sheet instead of smearing it, and needs no motor, air line or setting. Order item 47744101, size 149 x 39 mm.

Three things go wrong in every edgebander glue pot. Adhesive cools on the wall and holds the next layer until the roller runs through glue it should never touch. A steel scraper digs in, and its grooves hold more adhesive. Pot cleaning is downtime. This 149 x 39 mm PTFE shovel exists for that job.

It is a flat shovel, not a knife. One 5 mm sheet is cut 149 mm long with a 39 mm head, and 60 mm of that head is the scraping edge. The edge is square, so it runs along the wall without cutting a groove. PTFE through the full 5 mm leaves adhesive nothing to key into, so it lifts in a sheet and the face wipes clean.

There is no blade, no insert and no bonded joint: head and handle are one piece of white PTFE. A fixed blade loses its edge and a coated body loses its coating. PTFE is specified because the pot wall this edge touches is the hot side of the machine.

White is a working colour. Dark adhesive shows on white before it fouls the pot, so the tool is wiped before it carries residue back. It has no motor, air line or setting. Order item 47744101, 149 x 39 mm, 5 mm thick.

What separates this from a strip of scrap plastic is not the material name but the four dimensions and where the edge sits on them.

• One-piece PTFE body - head and handle are one 5 mm white strip, so no bonded blade works loose and no coating peels off the edge.
• 149 mm overall length - enough reach for the 60 mm head to cross a pot floor without your fingers meeting the hot rim.
• 39 mm head width - one 39 mm stroke covers a usable band of pot wall and still passes a pot opening.
• 5 mm wall thickness - stiff enough not to curl under hand pressure, thin enough to follow a pot corner.
• 60 mm scraping head - 60 mm of the 149 mm length does the work; the narrow remainder is the handle.
• Square scraping edge - a flat edge on a flat wall contacts across its full 39 mm, so it does not skip soft patches.
• Non-stick on both faces - adhesive releases from the PTFE instead of clinging, so one wipe cleans the tool, with no solvent.
• Heat resistance for pot duty - specified for hot adhesive removal, and an all-PTFE body holds that across the full 149 mm.
• White surface, visible residue - adhesive invisible on steel shows on the 39 mm white face, so it is wiped while still soft.

Most workshops pick between a steel scraper that marks the pot and a rag that smears adhesive around it. This is the third option.

• Clean-up stops competing with production. The 149 mm reach and 60 mm head work the pot in passes along the wall instead of patch by patch, so the machine goes back to banding sooner.
• The pot wall keeps its surface. The edge is PTFE, softer than the steel blades used on pot walls, and there is no sharpened corner on the 39 mm head to catch on a seam.
• Nothing to sharpen or renew. No blade to grind, no coating to reapply, no joint to check: the 5 mm body is the whole tool, so upkeep is a wipe.
• You can see when it needs wiping. On a white 39 mm face adhesive shows immediately, so residue is not carried from the pot back into the glue circuit.
• Re-ordering is one part number. Item 47744101, 149 x 39 x 5 mm, so the replacement is the same tool, not a lookalike matched by eye against the old one.
• No services to connect. No motor, no air line, no electrical connection: the tool sits in the maintenance drawer and is ready on any shift without a set-up step.

Removing adhesive from an edgebander glue pot. The 60 mm square edge is laid against the pot wall and the bottom fillet, and the non-stick PTFE face lifts cooled glue without it re-bonding to the tool.

Check the pot opening against 149 x 39 x 5 mm before ordering. The head is 39 mm wide and 5 mm thick, which passes a normal pot opening, and the 149 mm length is what sets how deep into the pot you can reach.

Item 47744101, size 149 x 39 mm, thickness 5 mm, scraping head 60 mm. The same numbers sit in the specification table above, so the order can be checked against the drawing or the old part.

No. The body is PTFE through its full 5 mm, and PTFE is the reason for the specification: softened adhesive releases from the face instead of keying into it.

Yes. The tool is specified for hot adhesive removal, which is why there is no coating and no bonded blade on the 60 mm head. We publish no temperature figure for this item, so ask us for the factory value if your pot runs hotter than usual.

The scraping edge is PTFE, which is softer than the steel blades normally used on pot walls, so there is no hardened corner dragging along the surface. Light hand pressure on the 39 mm head is enough for the tool to work.

Wipe it or peel the residue off. Because both faces are non-stick, cooled adhesive lifts in one piece from the 149 mm body, so no solvent, no soaking and no wire brush are needed.
