Tech Tips – How Hand Sanitizer Keeps Your Gluer Clean
Over time, glue residue can accumulate on your folder gluer affecting performance, quality, and can lead to maintenance issues. Ditch the harsh chemicals and pick up a bottle of hand sanitizer! It's safer for you and the machine.
Why It Works
The isopropyl alcohol in most hand sanitizers breaks down sticky substances, including glue. The gel consistency of the hand sanitizer allows for easy application to targeted areas, which is especially useful for those hard to reach spots on your folder gluer. No need for hand protection from harsh chemicals or worrying about damage to the equipment.
Simple Steps To Remove Glue
- Turn off the machine to ensure safety and prevent injury.
- Apply the hand sanitizer to the glue spots. Depending on the amount of glue, you may need to apply several times.
- Let the hand sanitizer penetrate glue for a few minutes breaking down the adhesive.
- Wipe away with a rag or cloth.
- Repeat as necessary.
Clean off glue build up regularly on your folder gluer by reaching for the hand sanitizer! It's a simple, safer product to integrate in your maintenance schedule.
