FOCUS ON: Union Tool Engineered Flooring System
The Union Tool Corp. offers a complete material handling and coating system for laminating engineered flooring. This engineered flooring system includes a hot-melt roller coater, a lay-up conveyor and a multi-nip roll machine. The hot-melt roller coater coats plywood with adhesive, and the lay-up conveyor allows a piece of veneer to be placed on top of the coated plywood. The multi-nip roll machine is then used to press the two pieces together. Engineered flooring is used as an alternative to hardwood flooring. Other coating/laminating systems are also available from Union Tool.

For more information, contact The Union Tool Corp. at 1144 N. Detroit Street, Warsaw, IN 46580; call (574) 267-3211; fax (574) 267-5703; visit www.uniontoolcorp.com; or e-mail webinfo@uniontoolcorp.com.
