Using UB50 manual reels
The UB50 dispensers are designed for the precise application of aluminum or polyester tapes, with or without a liner, onto multi-wall polycarbonate sheets. They are easy to use and provide a clean and airtight seal for open edges.
Applying the tape to the polycarbonate panel
Once the reel is correctly installed on the UB50 reel:
Position the polycarbonate sheet in the device guide, aligning it with the corresponding thickness.
grasp the main handle of the manual shutter
position the front of the reel at the level of the end of the panel
Lower the device slightly to engage the tape on the edge
Pull the reel along the entire length of the panel while maintaining even pressure.
Leave the soft rubber applicator roller to ensure even adhesion of the tape
Use the second handle if needed to improve stability and guidance
The cut is made at the end of the application thanks to the serrated blade made of reinforced carbon steel.
Setting up and loading the reel
Before first use:
Place the aluminum or polyester roller onto the 76 mm main mandrel
check that the reel is oriented correctly, with unwinding in a counter-clockwise direction
guide the end of the ribbon over the first white plastic drive roller
pass the belt under the soft rubber drive roller
Bring the ribbon up to the cutting area under the serrated blade.
adjust the adjustable brakes if necessary
Your UB50 reel is now ready to operate.
Maintenance and cleaning
The UB50 reels require very little maintenance thanks to their reinforced steel structure.
It is recommended to:
Clean the serrated blade occasionally
remove any remaining glue
check that the brakes are working properly
