ORMA MACCHINE
I413 Four-roller glue spreader with independent spreading groups and adjustable dosing rollers
The ORMA I413 is a four-roller glue spreader for one- or two-sided panel application and through-feed integration. Two spreading rollers work with two ebonite dosing rollers, while the two spreading groups use independent motorization. Working width is 1300 mm, maximum roller clearance is 100 mm, and running speed is 22 m/min.

Production problem
Higher-volume panel gluing needs controlled adhesive application, stable dosing and line-ready feed without relying on manual spread variation.
Application mechanism
Two spreading rollers and two dosing rollers create a four-roller application system with adjustable glue metering.
Ownership / process value
The two spreading groups use independent motorization and quick-disassembly roller supports to simplify service access and process control.

Start with the manufacturing problem
Four rollers add control only when dosing, panel presentation and downstream flow are matched to the adhesive process.
I413 is a glue-application machine rather than a curing or pressing machine. Its value comes from separately driven spreading groups, slower-speed dosing rollers, adjustable glue metering and a line-ready feed architecture.
Application flexibility
Both panel faces may need coating
The spreading system supports precise application to both panel surfaces or one surface only.
Panel handling
Panel thickness can vary slightly
Shock absorbers on the roller supports provide automatic opening for thickness differences within 5 mm and help compensate panel-parallelism variation.
Line balance
A faster spreader still needs a balanced cell
The machine can connect to through-feed lines, but practical production remains limited by panel spacing, layup and downstream press capacity.
Application fit
For flat-panel gluing where adjustable roller dosing and continuous-line compatibility matter.
I413 is a four-roller machine for one- or two-sided adhesive application and through-feed integration. Final adhesive chemistry, viscosity, coat weight and cleanup practice remain application-specific.
Strong fit
Panel lamination / pressing cells
Strong fit where panels need controlled adhesive application before cold or hot pressing.
Strong fit
One-sided application
The spreading system can apply glue to a single panel face.
Strong fit
Two-sided application
The same architecture can coat both panel surfaces.
Integration fit
Continuous / through-feed lines
ORMA explicitly supports connection to through-feed lines.
Non-fit cue
Panels above 100 mm clearance
Maximum clearance between rollers is 100 mm; thicker workpieces require a different process or application review.
Process fit
Four-roller dosing must solve a real need
Select the I413 when adjustable dosing and four-roller control match the application rather than treating added rollers as an automatic advantage.
Select the glue-spreading process from the panel backwards
Start with panel width, adhesive coat requirement and downstream press capacity.
The four-roller architecture should be justified by the actual dosing and line-control requirement, not simply by having more rollers.
Define the panel
Width, length, thickness, surface condition and thickness variation.
Define adhesive process
Adhesive family, one-/two-sided coating and target application requirement.
Check machine envelope
Confirm 1300 mm width, 100 mm clearance and required working height.
Set dosing / feed
Use the standard 22 m/min basis or qualify the inverter/potentiometer speed option.
Balance downstream flow
Match spreader output to layup, transfer and press-cycle capacity.
Machine architecture / work cycle
Two spreading groups apply adhesive while two slower dosing rollers meter the glue film.
Spreading and dosing are separate functions within the I413 architecture, giving the machine distinct application and metering roles.
Application rollers
Two spreading rollers
Anti-acid rubber spreading rollers apply glue to the panel surface.
Dosing rollers
Two dosing rollers
The ebonite dosing rollers are Ø180 mm and rotate more slowly than the spreading rollers.
Drive architecture
Independent group motorization
The two spreading groups use independent motor-reducer/endless-screw drives.
Dosing adjustment
Adjustable glue metering
Glue dosing is adjusted through a worm-screw/helical-wheel mechanism and handwheel.
Four-roller capability
Spreading and dosing functions are mechanically separated.
The slower ebonite dosing rollers transfer adhesive to the spreading rollers when the rollers are in contact, while a free-wheel device and matched peripheral speed are described as helping avoid overheating and rubber wear.

Four-roller process detail
Spreading rollers and dosing rollers work as paired process groups.
The spreading rollers use anti-acid rubber and are mounted in two-piece cast-iron supports. A sliding toothed joint connects them to the reducer for quick removal. Separate ebonite dosing rollers meter adhesive and run at a lower speed.
The dosing rollers are identified as Ø180 mm ebonite rollers. Final roller and drive configuration is confirmed with the application package.

Glue spread, viscosity, temperature and cure time are application parameters that must match the selected adhesive and bonding process.
Controls / operator workflow
Simple controls operate a mechanically richer four-roller process.
The operator interface is start/stop focused, with dosing adjustment handled mechanically through the metering system.
Control
24 V control board
Start and stop pushbuttons plus a warning lamp are documented.
Electrical
Water-tight electrical cabinet
The electrical cabinet includes remote-control/contactors, thermal protection for motors and a door-opening main switch.
Drive
Independent spreading-group drives
The two groups use separate motor-reducer/endless-screw drive systems.
Process setting
Mechanical dosing adjustment
The dosing roller is adjusted through the worm/helical-wheel and handwheel mechanism.
Panel handling
Shock-absorber roller supports
The roller system automatically opens for the documented thickness-difference condition and helps compensate parallelism differences.
Operator control
Start / stop control board
The control board uses start and stop pushbuttons with a warning lamp for the machine cycle.
Safety / washing / ownership architecture
The four-roller system includes guarding behavior specific to spreading and dosing rollers.
Guarding, emergency-stop behavior, roller access and optional washing equipment are part of the ownership and safety review.
Guarding
Spreading + dosing roller guards
Safety protection surrounds the spreading and dosing rollers.
Emergency system
Front + rear emergency bars
Double emergency-stop bars are documented at the front and rear.
Safety behavior
Protection-grid response
The protection grid is tied to roller stop/reverse behavior as part of the machine safety system.
Cleaning option
Automatic washer option
An automatic brush washer is listed on request.
Serviceability
Quick-removal spreading rollers
Two-piece cast-iron supports and sliding toothed joints support quick roller disassembly.
Process boundary
Adhesive cleanup remains process-specific
Actual cleaning chemistry and timing follow the adhesive supplier and the machine operating requirements.
Feed-rate / throughput framework
22 m/min is the machine running speed—not a finished-panel production rate.
Panel length, spacing, loading, layup, downstream press cycle and optional speed control determine practical system output.
Machine speed
22 m/min standard running speed
Use 22 m/min as the standard machine-speed basis for line balancing.
Output context
Panel geometry changes pieces/minute
A fixed feed speed produces different piece counts as panel length and spacing change.
Process context
Dosing requirement can change line strategy
Glue process and coat target may determine practical speed below the machine’s nominal feed rate.
Line balance
Panel rate depends on the complete cell
Panel length, spacing, layup and downstream press cycle determine finished-panel throughput.
Ownership / service / changeover
Four rollers mean more process control—and more roller/dosing condition to manage deliberately.
Ownership planning includes roller wear, independent drives, dosing adjustment, washing access and qualified service procedures.
Roller life
Spreading rollers can be reground
The anti-acid rubber spreading rollers allow up to 6-7 grindings.
Drive ownership
Independent drives isolate the spreading groups
Separate motorization reduces dependence on one common drive arrangement and is described as reducing noise/vibration while supporting maintenance.
Dosing ownership
Dosing rollers are a distinct wear/process element
Ebonite dosing rollers run slower than the spreading rollers and control glue transfer.
Safety
Qualified service boundaries remain
Electrical, drive, guarding and safety-related service belongs to qualified personnel using the machine documentation.
Through-feed line integration
I413 can serve as the adhesive-application stage inside a continuous panel line.
I413 can connect to through-feed or continuous-line layouts. The surrounding line still determines actual panel handling and capacity.
