HOT MELT KNIFE for eva laminated glass production.

A hot melt knife, also known as a thermal cutter, is a tool used in the production of EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) laminated glass. This tool uses heat to cut through EVA film or fabrics, which are used as the interlayer in laminated glass products. The hot melt knife provides a quick, efficient, and clean method for trimming EVA without leaving any residue or causing any mess 3.
Here is how to use a hot melt knife for EVA laminated glass production: Preparation: Place the temperature control knob at midrange setting, place the blade against the edge of the foam, and then depress the trigger. The optimal cutting should be virtually smoke-free. For the best results, practice on scrap pieces of EVA Film&Fabrics. Cutting: When cutting foam, it’s best to keep the temperature and speed consistent. If smoke develops during the cut, you are cutting too slow or the blade is too hot, which could result in an oversized, uneven cut. This can be remedied by lowering the temperature and intermittently releasing the trigger during your cut. As the cutting resistance increases, depress the trigger again. The EVA Thermal Cutter (Hot knife) will reach the set temperature within seconds. You can accomplish your cut with minimal smoke using this process. Cutting in this manner will also prolong the life of the knife. Finishing: Releasing the trigger approximately one or two inches prior to the completion of the cut will help keep the blade clean and free from buildup. Safety Precautions: Always operate the EVA Thermal Cutter (Hot knife) in a well-ventilated space. Never burn off excess residue on the hot knife blade. The blades will overheat, warping the blade and potentially overheating the EVA Thermal Cutter (Hot knife). Only operate EVA Thermal Cutter (Hot knife) when it is in contact with the insulation board. Keep hot blades away from skin, clothing, and other flammable materials. Allow blades to cool before handling. A hot blade may cause injury or burns to exposed surfaces. Maintenance: Constant use of the EVA Thermal Cutter (Hot knife) may result in some material build up on blades and the brass holders. This excess material interferes with the proper electrical and impairs the performance of the blades. The brass blade holders and blades can be thoroughly cleaned with a wire brush.
Remember, the hot melt knife is a crucial tool in the production of EVA laminated glass, providing a quick and efficient method for trimming EVA without causing any mess or leaving any residue.
