Gluefast's Colonel Gluer for Large Label, Print, Poster, and Photo Mounting

The Colonel Gluer from The Gluefast Company, Inc. can be an invaluable piece of adhesive application equipment for many industrial operations. This gluing machine allows you to apply a thin film of adhesive onto the paper or board stock with ease. Typically used for gluing/mounting large paper labels, four color litho labels, or poster prints, the Colonel label gluer is available with a heavy-duty roller system of 20" and 32" roller widths for precise glue film control. A new 42” machine is now available with extra heavy-duty rollers.

Standard Features of the Colonel Adhesive Applicator Include:

Variable Speed Control
Large Removable Glue Tray
Heated Glue Tray with Thermostat
(for use with animal glues or in cold environments)
Table top, 120-volt Gluing Machine

Optional Features of the Colonel Adhesive Applicator Include:

Strip Gluer Attachment
Pressure Bar Attachment
(for rigid/thick materials up to 5/8” or 16mm thick)
220-volt Motor

How to Use the Colonel Gluing Machine
To use the Colonel gluing machine, first choose the type of lay flat glue that will work best for your adhesive application needs. Remove and fill the glue tray with the water-based glue or adhesive. Once the tray is full, insert the tray back into the gluing machine. If animal glue is to be used, a water tray is filled and the thermostat is set to the desired temperature. After the adhesive application equipment is prepped, start the machine, adjust for the proper glue film and run the print, label, poster, or photo through the roll coaters, and, in only seconds, it will apply a thin film of adhesive. The operator manually positions the paper on the board stock and the glued paper/board combination is fed through the Adjutant Press for a permanent wrinkle-free bond.

The Colonel Gluer from Gluefast is part of a complete adhesive labeling system designed for rapid output and a quick turnaround.

Glue Dots ® are pressure sensitive adhesives, which makes them cleaner and safer than hot melt glues, that can glue just about any two substrates together. As the largest stocking distributor of Glue Dots ® on the East Coast, Gluefast offers Glue Dots ® in different tack strengths and thicknesses, known as profiles, for use in several industries like for Promotional Packaging and Bundling, Crafts, Scrapbooking, Greeting Cards, and card making, Printing and Bindery, Pharmaceutical Packaging, or by Direct Mail companies and businesses. Glue Dots ® are not only the most reliable and versatile adhesives, they are perfect for when a clean finish is critical, leaving no trace behind like a messy or sticky residue as some double-sided tapes or industrial adhesives often do (some surfaces may stain so testing is recommended). The dots of glue come in tack strengths of low, medium, high, or super high, while profile choices are low (1/64th inch thick; the standard), medium (1/16th inch thick), or high (1/8th inch thick). Choose the right adhesive with Glue Dots ®, also known as booger or fugitive glues, for easy application by just touching the object to the Glue Dot ® or using the Dot Shot Pro to touch the dot to the item, and reliability.
