A live Jarkan gumming machine (also called a live hot-fix stone gumming machine) is a specialized textile device used to coat the back of rhinestones (Jarkan / American diamonds / chattons) with a uniform layer of hot-melt adhesive. It prepares loose stones in bulk for direct heat-transfer or hot-fix application onto fabrics.
Core FunctionsUniform Adhesive Coating: Feeds loose stones across a heated roller or gumming tray to apply an even, controlled layer of adhesive to their flat backs. Temperature & Viscosity Control: Maintains the hot-melt glue at a consistent temperature to ensure strong adhesion without burning or dripping. Continuous High-Speed Feeding: Uses an automated conveyor system and vibrating/alignment feed to process thousands of stones continuously with minimal manual intervention. Batch Preparation for Transfer Sheets: Enables manufacturers to arrange gummed stones onto silicone transfer sheets or films, ready for heat-press transferring.
