Edgebanding Machine Gluing System Gluing Unit Edgebanding Glue Tank For HOMAG Machine

Yes — this is a replacement glue pot for HOMAG and Brandt high-speed automatic edgebanders: part 54386744, universal type, sensing melt temperature with a PT100 element (100 Ω at 0 °C) instead of a thermocouple. One unit carries the cast tank body, a brass valve block, a stainless-braided glue line, a knurled applicator roller in two bolted flange plates, a perforated heat hood with the hot-surface warning, and two ball-knob levers that set glue quantity and roller gap by hand.

An edge that peels at the trim station is rarely one fault. It is the same three, repeating: a tank that stops holding its set temperature mid-run, a temperature element that drifts once it has aged, and glue that carbonises on the applicator until the metering gap no longer matches the joint. On a HOMAG or Brandt high-speed line those three fail on a moving panel, so each one costs panels rather than minutes.

This unit is the tank-and-applicator assembly the edgebanding machine gluing system is built around: a glue tank application unit for HOMAG Brandt machines, supplied as universal type with a PT100 element. PT100 is 100 Ω at 0 °C — a resistance the machine controller scales itself, with no thermocouple cold-junction compensation. The body is cast, the heated face sits under a perforated stainless hood marked with a hot-surface warning, and glue leaves through a brass valve block and a stainless-braided flexible line.

Two black ball-knob levers set glue quantity and roller gap by hand, so the unit can be matched to the joint the line actually runs. The applicator roller is knurled and carried in bolted flange plates at each end. Part number 54386744, colour as the picture shows, OEM/ODM acceptable.

What is actually on the unit — checked against the four product photos and the part record, not against a catalogue drawing:

• PT100 element, not a thermocouple. Temperature is sensed by a resistance element rated 100 Ω at 0 °C, so the controller reads a curve it already knows.
• Universal type fitment. Listed as universal type and specified for HOMAG and Brandt high-speed automatic edge banding machines.
• Brass valve block with braided line. Glue travels from the tank through one brass block and one stainless-braided flexible hose to the applicator.
• Knurled applicator roller. The roller is embossed across its face and runs between two bolted flange plates, which is where the glue film is metered.
• Perforated stainless hood. One vented plate covers the heated face and carries the hot-surface warning symbol beside the element.
• Two ball-knob adjusters. Two black knobs move glue quantity and roller gap, adjustable by hand without tools.
• Multi-pin plug on a flying lead. The rectangular connector arrives already fitted to the lead, matching the machine harness.
• Cast body, machined tank mouth. The rectangular mouth is machined with a sealing groove, and the body carries its own mounting bosses.
• OEM/ODM accepted. One part number, 54386744, plus a drawing review is the route to a custom version.

When a glue pot fails a shop has two options: keep running a tank that no longer holds temperature, or stop the line until a replacement arrives. This unit is meant to be the third — the one ordered before the next failure.

• One sensor language. Because the element is PT100, a swap does not force a new temperature table on the machine control.
• Metering set by hand, not by laptop. Two ball knobs cover the only two adjustments a setter makes between panel batches.
• A glue path you can see and clean. Hood off, the one brass block, the braided line and the knurled roller are all reachable, so carbon is removed before it reaches the joint.
• Fitment aligned to a mixed line. HOMAG and Brandt machines, universal type — one part number can cover several stations.
• Reorder by number. Purchasing and maintenance can both call it 54386744; no machine serial number has to be quoted twice.
• Custom is a drawing question. OEM/ODM is accepted, so a different tank mouth or connector starts with one drawing exchange.
• Planned maintenance, not an emergency. Ordering before a failure keeps the line on its schedule instead of holding panels while a replacement is sourced, which is the point of keeping one spare at the plant.

Yes, if the machine is a HOMAG or Brandt high-speed automatic edge bander — that is the fitment this unit is specified for. Compare the tank mouth and the connector against your old unit before ordering; both are visible in the photos.

PT100. The element is a resistance sensor reading 100 Ω at 0 °C, so the controller scales the signal as an RTD rather than as a thermocouple pair.

No, as long as your control is already configured for PT100. The unit is universal type with the same element type written on the part record, so no sensor-type switch is needed.

With the two ball-knob levers on the front of the unit. One sets glue quantity and the other sets roller gap, both by hand and without tools.

Yes. It is listed for use as a replacement part, a maintenance upgrade or an OEM solution, so keeping one unit as standby is the intended use.

Yes. OEM/ODM is accepted; send the drawing or the sample of the tank mouth and connector you need and the change is quoted from that.

The assembled unit as pictured, with the multi-pin connector already fitted to its flying lead. Colour is as the picture shows.
