The ‘Glu-Man’ glue spreader from Hanfas is a manual hand-held glue applicator with two rollers. It is available with micro adjustment for variable flow of glue application. It facilitates easy and even spread of glue over large panels as well as curved surfaces. Besides being user friendly, it also enhances the operator efficiency. Almost 30% glue saving against conventional spreading with brush or spatulas or rollers. Work can be completed in half time, thus making it possible to complete large volumes of pasting in target time.
