MENDOTA, Ill. — Black Bros. Co., a trusted manufacturer of laminating, coating, and material handling equipment, will exhibit at the International Woodworking Fair later this month in Atlanta. Visit the venerable company in Booth #B5311, where attendees can experience demonstrations of multiple production solutions designed to improve efficiency, consistency, and productivity in panel manufacturing and other laminating applications.
Throughout the show, Black Bros. will demonstrate its state-of-the-art Panel Express System, an integrated machinery solution that automates material handling, adhesive application, and pressing to deliver consistent results while increasing throughput and reducing manual labor. Designed for manufacturers seeking greater production efficiency, the system uses bank heaters to also eliminate the need for additional pressing or curing time when used with high-solids adhesive. In the end, a single operator can produce one ready-to-cut panel per minute.
Also featured will be an economical, entry-level laminating solution using a Black Bros. 500-Series Roll Coater and Rotary Laminator 750. This combination provides accurate adhesive application and dependable bonding performance. Ideal for manufacturers entering the laminating market or expanding existing operations, the modular system offers a practical path to increased production capacity while maintaining the quality and reliability associated with Black Bros. equipment.
Finally, visitors will see the company’s updated Motorized Air Pod Press, engineered with several new features to deliver uniform pressure across same-sized substrates. The staple of laminating processes throughout the world, the press ensures consistent bonding while its motorized operation simplifies setup, improves repeatability, and enhances overall production efficiency.
“IWF provides an excellent opportunity for manufacturers to see the differences in our equipment. We design and build machines that last several decades, and we stand by them with top-notch service and parts availability,” said Clay Coss, Marketing Managerat Black Bros. Co. “This year, we’re excited to be bringing solutions for both those small-shop guys just starting out, all the way to the top players needing maximum production.”
