Lange B85KFE Edge Bander

Lange
A fully automatic edge bander with pre-milling and corner rounding built in, so panels come off the machine finished and ready — no secondary operations required. Suited to joinery and panel shops that need consistent edge quality across ABS, PVC, and veneer tape day in, day out.

Typically chosen by

  • Joinery and fitted furniture shops that need reliable, repeatable edge quality across ABS, PVC, and veneer tapes without manual finishing
  • Panel processing workshops stepping up from a basic edge bander who need pre-milling and corner rounding built in rather than bolted on later
  • Small to mid-sized manufacturers where one operator needs to process a steady run of panels efficiently without constant adjustment

Key specification considerations

Feed Speed
7.0 m/min
Workpiece Thickness
8–50 mm
Edging Thickness
0.4–3.0 mm
Covers the full range from fine veneer tape through to 3 mm ABS lipping, so most standard edge materials are handled without a change of machine setup.
Total Power
6.4 kW
Requires a 400V 3-phase supply with neutral — confirm this is available at your premises before specifying.
SpecificationValueNotes
Machine Length
2811 mm
Allow additional clearance at both infeed and outfeed ends for panel handling — a practical installation run of 5–6 metres is a reasonable working minimum.
Workpiece Thickness
8–50 mm
Minimum Workpiece Width
approx. 75 mm
Minimum Workpiece Length
approx. 120 mm
Very short workpieces below this length cannot be fed safely through the chain-feed system.
Edging Thickness
0.4–3.0 mm
Pre-Milling Cutting Depth
0–2.0 mm, stepless
Stepless adjustment means the pre-mill can be dialled in precisely for each board material rather than switching between fixed settings.
Maximum Edge Overhang (top & bottom)
Workpiece thickness + 4 mm (2 mm + 2 mm)
Feed Speed
7.0 m/min
Electrical Connection
400V, 50Hz, 3Ph + N
Three-phase with neutral is required — single-phase supply is not suitable for this machine.
Total Load
6.4 kW
Air Connection
6 bar
A dedicated compressor line or sufficient workshop compressor capacity at 6 bar is needed — confirm your air supply before installation.
Weight (nett)
710 kg
At 710 kg, floor loading should be checked with your building surveyor before siting the machine, particularly on upper floors or older workshop floors.
Compatible Edge Materials
ABS, PVC, melamine, solid wood veneer (roll and fixed lengths)
Key Stations
Pre-milling, direct glue application, HF cut-off saw, HF top & bottom milling, corner rounding unit
Having all five stations integrated means no secondary operations are needed to achieve a finished edge — the panel comes off the machine ready.

Is this the right
machine for you?

Choose the Lange B85KFE Edge Bander if...

  • Your workshop regularly processes panels in ABS, PVC, or veneer tape and needs clean, consistent results without manual trimming or finishing afterwards
  • You need pre-milling to ensure a flat, square substrate before the edge is applied — particularly important on MFC and veneered board
  • Corner rounding is a standard requirement on your panels and you want it handled in the same pass rather than as a separate operation
  • You have a confirmed 3-phase supply and compressed air at 6 bar, and sufficient floor space to accommodate a machine of this length

Consider an alternate model if...

  • Your volume is lower or your budget tighter and you don't need corner rounding — the Lange B85KF offers the same chassis and feed system without the corner rounding unit, at a lower cost
  • You only need to apply edge tape occasionally rather than as a core production activity — the Lange B60 series is a more compact, lighter-duty machine suited to lower-frequency use and smaller workshops
  • Your workshop processes exclusively solid timber components rather than panel products — edge banding may not be the correct process for your application
  • You cannot provide a 3-phase supply or 6-bar compressed air — confirm services availability with IWM before proceeding
