How To Choose The Right Plywood Machine for Your Factory

Define Your Production Capacity First

Do not choose any machine without knowing your target output per day or month. Small workshops, medium factories and large industrial plants need machine specifications that are worlds apart in terms of speed, size and level of automation.

Selection of veneer manufacturing gear by log girth

If you are looking for a machine that is suitable for large-diameter logs, it should also have high solid cutting accuracy. On the other hand, if you are peeling smaller logs or mixing various raw materials together to create products with the help of a standard peeling machine it would be much cheaper and also easier to work on.

Choose the Press Machine to Determine Product Quality

A cold press plywood machine is used at the beginning of bond and structure. A hot press machine is the last level for final strength and sequence. Typically, making high-quality plywood requires both machines running in tandem.

Gluespreading & Layering System

Bonding strength depends on glue spreaders. Even stresses in glue distribution and layers size are more important on the higher grade plywood so we can not come accross delamination affecting final board performance.

Consider Sanding and Finishing Requirements

If the top veneer grade of the plywood that your market requires is smooth like furniture, then you need a thorough plywood sanding machine. Sanding requirements are probably lower for construction-grade panels, making it possible to save in equipment investment.

Balance Automation Level and Budget

International automation of manufacturing lines reduces labor cost but demands a lot of investment as well. Semi-automatic machines are more flexible and recommend for new plywood manufacturers.

Select Machine that Matches Target Market

Several plywood standards need to be followed for different markets. For instance, export markets could require stringent surface finish and precision whereas local construction market may be more cost-tolerant on such aspects but demand durability.
