When pasting wood veneer by hand, choosing the right iron is crucial!
For a long time, manual wood veneer application has been based on the lack of standardized operation procedures for the operators, with a focus on the veneer application skills of the operators. In addition to the dedicated wood veneer glue of Fushen largely solving the problem of glue, Fushen also does its best to create predictive matching tools for wood veneer application to reduce the cracking or bubbling problems of manual wood veneer application.
I. The Fushen special wood veneer iron was born
In 2012, the industry's first industrial iron with wood veneer, GW-1211, was developed and launched by Fushen Woodworking Glue. As a professional developer of wood veneer irons, we have always strictly controlled the quality and never lagged behind in after-sales service. However, there are always customer friends who come with counterfeit products and ask, "Why is your iron more expensive?" Below, the editor will make a detailed product comparison for everyone. Please take a look!
Let's first talk about the safety hazards of counterfeit irons
Figure 1: There is no thermal fuse protection device inside. In case the temperature control fails without a second layer of protection, it will cause harm and does not meet the safety regulations.
Figure 2: The internal line can be clearly seen to be exposed, and the thickness of the sleeve on the line does not meet the minimum thickness requirement, which is at least 1mm. The internal wires exposed need to be pulled with a tensile force of 50N to see if they will touch the basic insulation. This model does not meet the safety requirements.
Figure 3: The two support points at the end of the base plate are directly placed on the support table surface. The temperature is too high, exceeding 150K, and the temperature rise inside the handle is too high, both of which do not meet the safety requirements.
Ii. Advantages of Fushen Professional Wood Veneer Iron
The Fushen veneer iron has undergone several generations of safety design improvements. In terms of details, it has fully considered safety. We have made great efforts to address the several safety hazards of the counterfeit irons mentioned above: dual safety control, heat insulation support frame, and labor-saving heat-blocking hand.
