Functional Units in Detail
Explore the gluing, trimming, scraping and polishing units, together with the controls and panel-handling systems.
01
6-Inch Touch Screen
The 6-inch touch screen brings operating settings together in a Chinese and English interface.
02
Dual-Motor Pre-Milling
Two 2.2 kW motors at 12,000 rpm drive diamond cutters in opposite directions to remove cutting burrs and prepare the panel edge before gluing.
03
EVA Gluing with Drainable Glue Tank
A 0.75 kW motor drives the gluing unit. The 1.5 L EVA glue tank has a drain function for adhesive changes and maintenance. A 0.8 mm mesh-pattern roller supports even application.
04
Four-Wheel Pressing Unit
The eccentric-wheel and rubber-wheel arrangement presses the edge band against the panel after adhesive application.
05
Front and Rear End Trimming
Two 0.37 kW motors at 12,000 rpm cut the excess band at the leading and trailing ends. The unit includes quick pressure relief and dual air circuits.
06
Fine Trimming with R2 Profile
Two 0.75 kW motors at 12,000 rpm trim excess edge band. Manual digital-scale adjustment helps set the R2-profile tools.
07
Profile Scraping
Carbide scrapers remove fine trimming marks from the edge band for a smoother finish.
08
Flat Scraping for Glue Residue
Two upper and two lower flat scraping tools remove excess glue from panel surfaces beside the edge.
09
Dual-Motor Polishing
Two 0.37 kW motors at 2,840 rpm drive the polishing wheels to finish the banded edge.
10
2.2 kW Conveyor Drive
A 2.2 kW conveyor motor supports steady panel movement through the processing units at the selected feed speed.
11
Electric Pressure-Beam Adjustment
A 0.37 kW lifting motor adjusts the pressure beam for different panel thicknesses. The digital readout helps the operator check the setting.

PACKING & CONTAINER LOADING
Steel-Frame Packing & Container Planning
For two-tier MD-EM2 shipment, the machine feet are detached to reduce transport height and dedicated steel frames support the upper tier. This loading arrangement is intended for 40HQ high-cube containers only. The photographs show the frame arrangement and actual two-tier loading.
Dedicated Steel Support Frames
The clean workshop photograph shows the dedicated steel support-frame arrangement. For two-tier MD-EM2 transport, the detachable machine feet are removed to reduce the packed height, and the steel frames support the upper tier rather than the lower machine enclosure. This two-tier arrangement is intended for 40HQ high-cube containers only.
Actual Container Loading
The container photograph illustrates machines arranged in two tiers. For MD-EM2, two-tier shipment uses a 40HQ high-cube container, with the detachable feet removed and dedicated steel support frames. The final packed width, total stack height, door clearance and cargo securing are checked for the shipment.
The listed 1400 mm is the operating height with the feet fitted. Two-tier shipment uses a different transport configuration: the detachable feet are removed before the machines are arranged in the steel frames. Confirm the packed stack height and loading clearance before booking the 40HQ container.
Container Loading: 20 ft Standard vs 40HQ
Using the nominal machine footprint of 4340 x 750 mm with its length aligned along the container, the planning layout is three machines across. A 20 ft container has one machine-length position; a 40 ft container has two. Two-tier MD-EM2 loading requires removal of the detachable feet, dedicated steel support frames and a 40HQ high-cube container.
| Container | Reference internal L x W x H (mm) | Reference door W x H (mm) | Planning arrangement | Geometric planning quantity* |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20 ft standard | 5900 x 2352 x 2395 | 2340 x 2292 | 1 length position x 3 across x 1 tier | Up to 3 machines, single tier |
| 40 ft standard | 12032 x 2352 x 2395 | 2340 x 2292 | 2 length positions x 3 across x 1 tier | Up to 6 machines, single tier |
| 40HQ high cube | 12032 x 2350 x 2700 | 2340 x 2597 | 2 length positions x 3 across x 2 tiers; feet removed and steel frames fitted | Up to 12 machines, two tiers |
*These are dimensional planning limits based on the nominal machine footprint, not a guaranteed packed quantity. Final packing dimensions, frame projections, loading clearance, accessories and securing space can reduce the number. Request an order-specific loading plan before booking freight.
Why Remove the Feet for Two-Tier Shipping?
The documented operating height is 1400 mm. Two complete machines would total 2800 mm before the steel frame, which exceeds the reference 40HQ internal height of 2700 mm. Removing the detachable feet reduces the transport height. The approved shipping arrangement must also fit the 40HQ door opening, approximately 2597 mm high. This two-tier arrangement is not specified for 20 ft or 40 ft standard-height containers.
- Across the container: 3 x 750 = 2250 mm. The reference door width leaves 90 mm in total for additional packing and clearance. Three across is feasible only if the actual packed width and loading method allow it.
- Along the container: one 4340 mm machine-length position fits the 20 ft reference length; two positions use 8680 mm in a 40 ft container.
- Transport configuration: remove the detachable feet and use the dedicated steel frame. Confirm the complete stack height, lifting access and securing arrangement for the selected 40HQ container.
- Weight check: 3 machines weigh 4140 kg, 6 weigh 8280 kg and 12 weigh 16560 kg before adding frames, packing and accessories. Confirm the actual container payload and floor-loading limits.
