Ott Edgebanders

Tornado Plus

A flawless edge with an invisible glue line — in a 6.3-meter frame.

The Tornado Plus pairs the patented Combimelt glue system with a 6.3-meter frame that includes buffing, sensitive-edge spray mist, release agent application, and nesting capability for pre-drilled panels as standard equipment. Where the Pacific Plus is built for tight floors, the Tornado Plus is built for shops that want more of the Ott option set included from day one.

Overview

More Options Standard, Less Configuration Required

The Tornado Plus is the Ott edgebander for shops that don't want to choose between options and budget. The 6.3-meter frame accommodates a more complete set of standard equipment than the smaller Pacific Plus — including buffing, spray mist devices for release agent and sensitive-edge materials, and nesting capability for pre-drilled panels.

Every Ott edgebander shares the same patented top-driven Combimelt glue system, the same servo-controlled workstations, and the same invisible-glue-joint quality. The Tornado Plus distinguishes itself by including features that are optional or unavailable on the Pacific Plus, while remaining significantly more compact than the FlexEdge, Storm Plus, StrongEdge, and TopEdge models.

For cabinet manufacturers, furniture producers, and architectural millwork shops with moderate floor space and varied production needs, the Tornado Plus is the model that includes "the option I needed" before you knew you needed it.

The Tornado Plus is Right For You If…

  • You can accommodate a 6.3-meter frame and want more features included as standard
  • Your production runs include sensitive-edge materials that benefit from spray mist application
  • You apply release agent to panels and want this automated rather than manual
  • You handle pre-drilled panels and need nesting capability
  • You want buffing integrated into the same machine instead of a separate process
