3 With an instinct for optimisation possibilities for automatic edge processing, Hans E. Riepe, our company founder, laid the foundation stone to market leadership 30 years ago. We Riepe GmbH & Co KG in Buende, develop and produce electronically controlled spraying systems for the woodworking industry together with the relevant chemical products. Prior to the introduction of our systems residues e.g. glue residue on the workpiece, had to be removed manually costing time and effort. The Riepe spraying systems together with the chemical products deliver the workpiece from the edge and wood processing machines in finish quality, directly to dispatch. Post processing is no longer required. With the constant further development of our products, a continuously expanding range and the sound evidence of proven quality we have continued to expand our global market leadership. To achieve this we work very closely with the leading machine, edgeband and glue manufacturers. As a special highlight in the area of processing and quality optimisation we have developed a solution package around eliminating the unsightly framing effect on high gloss components. The matt optic on the milled radius is polished up to a high gloss shine using a hard-wax and so matches the high gloss surface finish. We market our products via a worldwide local distributor network in more than 50 countries. The Company! Benefit from our many years of experience and know-how, the well proven quality of our products and our customer focus. 02_Imagebrosch_225x175_1_5_D_GB.indd :48

17 How to avoid undesired glue residue How to avoid undesired glue residue on the top and bottom surfaces of furniture parts. Glue residue squeezed out after the application of plastic or veneer edging material spoils the appearance of furniture parts. This glue residue quickly adheres to the workpiece and its removal requires time-consuming manual work. material surface, which helps avoid damage to the sensitive edging material (acryl/aluminium). This damage is caused by the detection runners. In addition, damage to the protective film on the edgeband caused by the tooling is prevented. The attachment of RIEPE release agent and cleaning agent spraying units guarantees a workpiece edge which is absolutely free of glue. An overview of our spraying systems: 1. An electronically controlled release agent spraying unit applies an ultra-fine coat of the release agent LPZ/II to the top and bottom surface of the workpiece (in the edge area) prior to formatting. This prevents squeezed out glue residue from adhering to the workpiece. 2. Upstream of the buffing unit, an electronically controlled cleaning agent spraying unit applies the cleaning agent LP163/93 to the top and bottom of the panel edge (edging material). The release agent applied in the infeed area and the loose glue residue is removed by the application of the cleaning agent and by the buffing process. In addition, the edging material radius is polished to regain its sheen and re-match the surface. 3. The perfect enhancement to the release and cleaning agent spraying units is the antistatic-coolant unit. The use of this spraying unit after the edge application, leads to faster curing of the surface of the glue joint. Incrustation on the tools is notably reduced. The glue no longer adheres to the edging material. Furthermore, the edging material is statically discharged. Tracer rollers and workpieces remain free of milling chips. 4. The antistatic cooling agent spraying unit can be equipped with an additional fine spray nozzle. This nozzle is used to apply the special release agent/lubricant NFLY laterally to the edging 5. When gluing problems occur the cleaning of the pressure roller is time consuming and labour intensive. The release agent spraying unit for pressure roller offers the clean solution. The release agent NFLY is periodically sprayed on the main pressure roller. The glue residue is thus prevented from adhering to the pressure roller. 6. The edging of corner joints particularly on thick workpieces, presents problems. The release agent LP113/03 is sprayed onto the corner area of the glued on longitudinal edge to prevent the adherence of the glue residue emerging from the corner during the cross gluing process. 7. For edgebanding machines that do not have size cutters at the infeed, our release agent roller application unit comes into play. The fine nozzle sprays the release agent very finely onto the application roller. Subsequently, this applies the release agent accurately to the edge of the workpiece. In this way the release agent is prevented from coming into contact with the unfinished edge and therefore the gluing process is not negatively affected. 8. For veneer and wrapping machines the electronically controlled spraying unit sprays a water/air mix onto the veneer strip. In this way the cracking/breaking of the veneer in the problem zones is prevented. We have developed special fluids for each of the above mentioned spraying units. The spraying units will only operate maintenance free and ensure the success of your production if these fluids are used. This is confirmed by our long years of experience. 5

18 electronically controlled release agent spraying unit Electronically controlled release agent spraying unit Upstream of the formatting unit, an ultra-thin coat of the release agent LPZ/II is applied to the top and bottom surface of the workpieces (edge area) by means of our electronically controlled release agent spraying unit. This prevents squeezed out glue from adhering to the workpiece. An ultra-thin application of our release agent in the edge area (consumption per nozzle under 1 liter per 5000 running meters) guarantees a perfect result. The electronically controlled release agent spraying unit only requires a 3 bar compressed air connection and a 230/24V outlet. Our special release agents are adapted to all commercially available glues. In illustration 1 you can see the installation of the spraying unit inside the cladding directly before the formatting unit, with the relevant fixing bracket. Our fine nozzles are not sensitive to dust and can therefore be fitted directly in front of the tooling. In illustration 2 you can see the installation outside the cladding, prior to formatting, with the appropriate bracket. On the opposite side of the machine the unit is connected to the longitudinal fence with the appropriate bracket. We also have an assortment of special fixings to meet your needs. For post- or softforming machines our high heat resistant release agent TH97 is used. This special release agent can pass without problem through hot zones without losing its effectiveness.

20 electronically controlled cleaning agent spraying unit Electronically controlled cleaning agent spraying unit This unit is used to spray the cleaning agent LP163/93 on the top and bottom surface of the board edge, as well as the edgeband. The release agent applied at the machine infeed side and the loose glue residue are removed by the application of the cleaning agent and subsequent buffing. Furthermore, the glue joint and the edge banding are cooled. Heat generation during buffing is considerably reduced by the application of the liquid. Smearing of glue emerging from the joint is avoided. The edge banding radius is wet buffed with the special cleaning agent LP163/93. As a consequence, heating of the thermoplastic material is notably reduced, and a smearing of the plastic is prevented. Moreover, the radius is polished to match the surface sheen. Glue residue no longer adheres to the buffing wheels. Result: An absolutely clean board edge! This result can only be obtained when the buffing wheels is used across its entire width without oscillation. The buffing disc must be used with an inclination in relation to the workpiece of 3, without oscillation and applying only slight pressure. Rotational direction should be in synchronous run to reduce heat generation. Consumption per fine nozzle: under 1 liter for 5000 running meters. The electronically controlled cleaning agent spraying unit only requires a compressed air connection of 3 bar and a 230/24 V socket.

22 electronically controlled antistatic-coolant spraying unit Electronically controlled antistatic-coolant spraying unit To cool the glue joint and statically discharge the edging material The perfect addition to the release agent spraying unit fitted at the machine infeed and the cleaning agent spraying unit fitted at the end of the machine is the antistatic-coolant unit shown in the adjacent photograph. It can be fitted downstream of the last contact pressure roller, upstream of the cross cut saws or upstream of the radius milling stations. The antistatic-coolant LP289/99 is sprayed directly on the glue joint and on the edging material by means of our spraying units. As a result the glue joint surface is hardened. The glue buildup on the tools is notably reduced and consequently the glue is no longer transferred onto the edging material. Furthermore, the edging material is statically discharged. Tracer rollers and workpieces remain free from milling chips. Milling off (flush trimming) the PVC or PP edges causes static charging of the edging material and the adjoining top and bottom face of the workpieces. Milled off chips adhere to the edging material and on the top and bottom surface of the panel negatively impairing the function of the tracer rollers and making a precise finishing by scraper blades or milling impossible. This unit remedies the above problems instantly!! In short: The glue joint hardens quicker Build-up on tooling is greatly reduced Frequent replacement or cleaning of tooling is not necessary Chippings do not adhere to the edgeband or the top or bottom of the workpiece Chippings are statically discharged and therefore enter the extractor system more easily 10

24 Edging Material Moistening (Acryl / Aluminium) Edging Material Moistening (Acrylic / Aluminium) The antistatic cooling agent spraying unit can be equipped with an additional fine spray nozzle. This nozzle is used to apply the release agent NFLY laterally to the edging material surface. As result damage to sensitive edging material (Acrylic/Aluminium) caused by the detection shoes is avoided. In addition, protective film on the edgeband is prevented from becoming detached.

26 electronically controlled spraying unit for contact pressure roller Electronically controlled spraying unit for contact pressure roller, anti-friction shoes and Post-/Softforming The fine nozzle of this electronically controlled unit applies the release agent NFLY to the contact pressure roller. This is achieved by adjustable timing interval. The spray duration is about 3 seconds. In this way glue is prevented from adhering to the contact pressure rollers. In addition the special release agent is taken from the edge and transferred to the downstream contact pressure rollers or anti-friction shoes. The contact pressure rollers and the anti-friction shoes remain free of glue residue. The anti-friction shoes are simultaneously cooled. Result: A notably enhanced quality. Contact pressure rollers and anti-friction shoes need no longer be cleaned. POSTFORMING: For POSTFORMING work, the release agent NFLY is sprayed directly on the top coat in front of the anti-friction shoes. The special release agent is transferred to the anti-friction shoes to form a glide film. This prevents squeezed out glue residue from adhering to them and the workpiece. As a result, a considerable improvement in production during the postforming process is achieved. This principle can also be used during the softforming process.

30 electronically controlled release agent application unit (ROLLER) Electronically controlled release agent application unit (application via roller) For special requirements (e.g. machines without formatting), the roller application device pictured here operates upstream of the edge pull-in of the machine. The release agent application roller is misted with a special RIEPE release agent by a fine nozzle, and then the roller applies the release agent precisely to the workpiece edge area. As a result the release agent does not come into contact with the unfinished edge and therefore cannot hinder the bonding process. Due to the applied release agent the emerging glue residue can no longer adhere to the workpiece. This release roller agent unit is available in 2 different sizes.

38 fabric-sisal-lamellar wheels 3:1 ratio Fabric-Sisal-Lamellar wheels 3:1 ratio The fabric-sisal-lamellar wheels are brushes with a cast mounting core. The lamellar are composed of the following ratio: 3 x fabric and 1 x sisal. The cloth in the lamellar serves to absorb the previously applied special cleaning agent LP163/93. The sisal is used to polish the edge banding. The use of the fabric-sisal-lamellar wheels while processing all types of thermoplastic edges in combination with the special cleaning agent LP163/93 leads to the following result: Material re-finishing Edge polishing Reduction in stress whitening Edgeband radius re-matches the sheen of the surface The fabric-sisal-lamellar wheels are suitable for all types of thermoplastic edgings. In addition, they have a very long operating life. The use of the fabric-sisal-lamellar wheels while processing thin edges leads to the following result: Removal of the protruding edging material Trimming of the edge band (smooth) Available sizes: Outer diameter 160 mm 160 mm 190 mm 190 mm Width 25 mm 20 mm 20 mm 20 mm Boreholes 50 mm 40 mm 50 mm 40 mm (special sizes on request) 26

39 fabric buffing wheels Fabric buffing wheels The fabric buffing wheels offered by us are distinguished by a strong fabric quality. Composed of 2 x 14 layers of fabric they are extremely strong. As a result, a spreading of the buffing wheels on the edge radius is avoided. In connection with the special cleaning agent LP163/93, the edge radius is polished so that its sheen matches that of the surface. The life of the buffing wheels is also considerably increased by the cleaning agent LP163/93. Result: Material re-finishing Edge polishing Reduction in stress whitening Edgeband radius re-matches the sheen of the surface The operating life is substantially increased.
