Brand new unit ,used to glue 2 strips to test by dealer .We ended to buy a large edge bander.Unit is a rare 10ft unit 2008 is the year mfg . If you have the work for it this is the work horse . youtube videos of a smaller unit by HOFFMANN http://youtu.be/Lx2Pul4Ic2s http://youtu.be/5ahpt8R2lzI MOBIL Edgebanding Press (formely known as HESS MOBIL Press) for solid wood edges MOBIL 2500 and 3000 Edgebanding Press for solid wood edges Designed to quickly and reliably attach solid wood edges to panels made of common sheet goods such as MDF, particleboard, plywood, etc. The machines are equipped with two heating elements and two (MOBIL 2500) or three (MOBIL 3000) pneumatic clamping stations. Each station features two horizontal clamping cylinders to secure the panels and two vertical short-stroke cylinders to pull the panel onto the edgebanding. Standard white PVA glue is used in combination with heating elements to attach up to 2” thick and up to 4” tall solid wood edges without the need for special glue, splines or additional fasteners. Glue bond strong enough to remove the panel from the press is achieved in about one minute on 1” thick wood edges – less time is needed for thinner stock. 2 and 3 station models available to allow continuous operation. Attach edges with square joints or miter joints accurately with the included miter stop. Heavy, solid welded steel frame assures long-term accuracy and four casters make the press easy to move around in the workshop. Specifications MOBIL 3000 #BE3000100 $20,580.

MOBIL 3000 Edgebanding Press Part No: BE30001000 Availability: Out Of Stock Price: $20,580.00 Qty: The MOBIL 2500 and 3000 series edgebanding presses are the successor models to the well-known HESS MOBIL PRESS which has been sold in the US for many years. After the close of the HESS Company in Germany as few years back, these new machines are manufactured by the Beck Machine Company and are distributed in the US, Canada and Mexico exclusively by Hoffmann. Many of the spare parts (pressure plates, heating elements, pneumatic valves, thermostats, etc.) available for the current MOBIL machines will fit older HESS MOBIL models - see Spare Parts Menu for ordering details. The machines are designed to quickly and precisely attach solid wood edges to panels made of common sheet goods such as MDF, particleboard, plywood, etc. OperationTechnical DataAccessoriesProduct Videos (3)Related Products (1) The machines are equipped with two heating elements and two (MOBIL 2500) or three (MOBIL 3000) pneumatic clamping stations. Each station features two horizontal clamping cylinders to secure the panels and two vertical short-stroke cylinders to pull the panels down onto the edgebanding. Standard white or yellow PVA glue is used in combination with the adjustable heating elements to attach up to 2” thick and up to 4” tall solid wood edges without the need for special glue, splines or additional fasteners. Glue bond strong enough to remove the panel from the press is achieved in about one minute on 1” thick wood edges – less time is needed for thinner stock. An adjustable steel edge guide assures consistent and parallel edge alignment and edges up to 4” wide (waterfall edges) can be processed. In addition to standard square or butt-joined edges mitered corner edges can be applied quickly and easily. The adjustable miter stop is used to precisely locate the inside corner of the mitered edge band with the corner of the panel, resulting in tight fitting joints on every panel. Two and three station models allow continuous operation when processing small to mid-sized panels. By the time the last panel is placed and clamped in the machine, the first panel can already be removed. This is especially true for the three station Mobil 3000, which is ideal for this type of operation. The operator begins by placing a wood strip in the pre-heating element to increase its temperature to the pre-set level. Once removed, the strip is placed with the cool face down onto the heated platen of the pressing area. After applying glue to the panel, it is set onto the pre-heated face of the edge strip (unlike with hot-melt edgebanders, panels are commonly processed vertically in the press). The operator then activates the pneumatic push-button valves to clamp the panel against the back supports, then a second set of valves is activated and the lower cylinders pull the panel tightly onto the edgebanding strip. The combination of heat and pressure quickly creates a very strong bond. Standard Equipment Tilting panel support frame for easier handling of large panels (horizontal operation) Adjustable miter stop for precise corners on architectural grade panels Separate controls for each clamping station to allow for continuous operation Air regulator, filter, lubricator assembly installed One main heating bar and one pre-heating bar with individual thermostats Removable pre-heat bar for easier access during horizontal operation Anodized heating platens to reduce scratching and glue build-up. Heavy, solid welded steel frame and clamping stations on ball bearings assure long-term accuracy. Mobil Press detail Mobil Press Mobil Press detail
