🎯 Function of the Jarkan Gumming Machine
1. Applying Adhesive to Rhinestones
-
The machine dispenses a uniform layer of adhesive (gum) onto the back of Jarkan rhinestones or similar decorative stones arranged on a pre‑formatted template or sheet shivtechmachines.+12.
-
It precisely grooms each stone so it’s ready for heat pressing or subsequent transfer to fabric.
2. Preparation for Hot‑Fix Application
-
Once gum is applied and dried, the stones can later be bonded to fabric using a hot-fix press or fusing machine.
-
This step is separate from direct heat application—the gumming machine preps the stones for later transfer.
3. Consistent & Accurate Adhesive Application

Designed with adjustable rollers, conveyor belt positioning, and tension knobs to ensure glue is applied evenly across all stones in the sheet sunriseinds.com
