Edge Banding Glue Pellets and Consumables
Edge banding consumables are the parts of a KAM edge bander that get used up in production: the hot-melt glue that fills the pot and the pre-milling cutters that face the sawn panel edge before the tape is pressed on. This group holds 6 lines - KAMK5 and KAMK25 glue pellets in 5 kg and 25 kg bags, pre-milling cutters 10010937 and 10011125, the KAM65PROSET accessory set, and the KAM55V machine itself in 230 V. Glue and cutters carry a list price; the machine is quoted. Send us your machine model and we will confirm the correct grade and cutter.

Holzmann KAM series edge banding machines - KAM55V in 230 V and KAM65PRO. The pre-milling cutters 10010937 and 10011125 and the KAM65PROSET accessory set are matched to specific KAM models; the glue pellets suit any KAM machine with a heated glue pot.
როგორ შევარჩიოთ
| კრიტერიუმი | რეკომენდაცია |
|---|---|
| KAMK5 - 5 kg glue pellets | Occasional or batch banding. Small sealed packs stay dry between jobs, which matters more than cost per kilo at low volume. |
| KAMK25 - 25 kg glue pellets | Daily production. Lowest cost per kilo; decant into a sealed container instead of working out of the open sack. |
| Pre-milling cutter 10010937 / 10011125 | Ordered by machine model, not by looks. Keep one spare so a dull cutter never stops a production run. |
| KAM65PROSET accessory set | The accessory package for the KAM65PRO. Best value when added to a new machine order rather than bought piecemeal later. |
| Storage of granulate | Sealed, dry and off the concrete floor. Damp pellets foam in the pot and produce bubbled, weak glue lines. |
| Changing glue grade | Run the pot empty and clean it first. Mixing grades leaves carbon residue and unpredictable open time. |
| Symptom: dark, thick glue line | Usually a blunt pre-milling cutter leaving a wavy edge, not a glue fault. Change the cutter before changing the glue. |
| Symptom: tape lifting after days | Points to moisture in the pellets or a pot below working temperature. Start with a fresh sealed bag. |
What actually gets consumed on an edge bander
Two things run out on a KAM machine. The first is the hot-melt glue in the pot, which is topped up as pellets, melted and rolled onto the panel edge. The second is the pre-milling cutter that skims the sawn edge immediately before the glue station. Everything else – the trimmers, the scraper, the buffing pads – lasts far longer, which is why this group is small and why these are the lines worth keeping on the shelf rather than ordering job by job.
Glue pellets: 5 kg or 25 kg
KAMK5 and KAMK25 are the same hot-melt granulate in two pack sizes, so choose on turnover rather than on price per kilo alone. Hot-melt granulate takes up moisture from the air, and a sack that sits open in a humid workshop for months will foam in the pot and leave a bubbled, weak glue line that shows as a lifting tape edge weeks after delivery. A shop banding a few kitchens a month is better served by sealed 5 kg bags; a shop running the bander daily should take the 25 kg bag and decant into a sealed container rather than working out of the open sack.
Do not mix grades in the pot
Refill with the same glue you are already running. Mixing hot-melt grades gives inconsistent open time and leaves carbonised residue that has to be burned out and scraped, which costs more downtime than a bag of the correct pellets. If you are switching grade, run the pot down, clean it, and start fresh.
Pre-milling cutters
The pre-milling cutters, 10010937 and 10011125, remove the saw marks and the slight out-of-square left by the panel saw so the tape meets a clean, straight reference face. This is where most bad glue lines start: a dull pre-miller leaves a wavy edge, the glue film thickens to fill the hollows, and you get a visible dark line under a white tape. Replace the cutter when the milled edge starts to show chatter or when the glue line thickens without any change to pot temperature or feed speed. Cutters are model-specific, so order by your machine code rather than by appearance.
Machine and accessory compatibility
These consumables serve the Holzmann KAM range of portable and bench edge banders, KAM55V and KAM65PRO. The KAM65PROSET is the accessory set for the KAM65PRO and is the sensible line to add when a new machine goes into a shop that has not banded before. Tape itself is bought by width and thickness to suit your panel; the glue and cutters here are independent of tape brand, but the tape must be within the width range your machine’s pressure rollers accept.
What moves the price
Price drivers in this group: pack size, since the 25 kg bag costs materially less per kilo than the 5 kg bag; the glue grade specified for your panel and tape combination; whether pre-milling cutters are ordered singly or as a spare pair to keep the machine running; delivery, because a 25 kg sack is a freight item rather than a parcel; and whether the KAM65PROSET accessory set or a machine line goes on the same order. Ask for a quotation with your annual banding volume and we will price the glue at the pack size that actually suits your turnover.
ხშირად დასმული კითხვები
Which glue pellets does my Holzmann edge bander take?
The KAMK5 and KAMK25 glue pellets are the granulate for Holzmann KAM series edge banders with a heated glue pot, including the KAM55V and the KAM65PRO, and the two codes differ only by pack size - 5 kg and 25 kg of the same hot-melt. To be certain, read the model code from the plate on your machine and send it with your enquiry. If you inherited the machine and are already running an unknown glue, run the pot down and clean it before switching, because mixing hot-melt grades leaves carbonised residue in the pot.
Should I buy the 5 kg or the 25 kg bag of glue pellets?
Choose the glue pellet pack size by how fast you use it, not by cost per kilo. The 25 kg KAMK25 bag is the cheaper kilo and the right choice for a shop running the edge bander most days, provided the granulate is decanted into a sealed container rather than left open. The 5 kg KAMK5 bag suits workshops banding in batches, because hot-melt granulate absorbs moisture from workshop air and damp pellets foam in the pot and give a bubbled, weak glue line. Tell us your monthly banding metres and we will recommend the pack size.
What does the pre-milling cutter do, and how often is it replaced?
The pre-milling cutters 10010937 and 10011125 skim the sawn panel edge immediately before the glue station, removing saw marks so the tape meets a clean, straight reference face. Replacement is driven by metres cut and by board material - chipboard and MDF dull a cutter far faster than solid timber - so there is no fixed interval; change it when the milled edge shows chatter or when the glue line thickens with no change to pot temperature or feed. Keeping one spare cutter on the shelf is cheaper than a stopped production run.
Can I use edge banding tape from another supplier with these consumables?
Yes. The glue pellets and pre-milling cutters in this group are consumables for the machine rather than for a particular tape brand, so any ABS, PVC, melamine or veneer tape within the width and thickness range your KAM machine's pressure rollers accept will run on them. What matters is that the tape width suits the panel thickness and that the glue grade is right for the tape backing. If you are banding an unusual material, tell us what it is when you enquire and we will confirm the glue grade before you commit to a full sack.
Why is my glue line dark or lifting after a few days?
Both faults usually trace back to the consumables rather than to the edge bander itself. A thick, dark line is normally a blunt pre-milling cutter leaving a wavy edge that the glue has to fill, so change the cutter first. Tape that lifts days later points to moisture in the glue pellets or a pot running below working temperature - open a fresh sealed bag of pellets and check the pot setting against your machine manual. If the fault survives both checks, send us photographs with your enquiry and we will look at the machine rather than the consumables.
How do I order edge banding consumables and what is the lead time?
Send an enquiry with your edge bander's model code, the pack size of glue pellets you want and whether you need pre-milling cutters, and we return a written quotation covering the goods and delivery within Georgia. Glue pellets and cutters normally move faster than machine orders because they are stock lines, but a 25 kg sack ships as freight rather than as a parcel, which affects both cost and timing. If you run the bander in production, ask us to quote a standing quantity so the glue and a spare cutter arrive before you run out rather than after.
