Plywood Manufacturing Process From Raw Wood To Finished Board

Log Selection and Debarking

Therefore, the selection of logs based on species, diameters and moisture content is a starting step in the process. Bark is worn off to guarantee good surface arrangement, and to upgrade veneer quality planing

Veneer Peeling into Thin Sheets

Especially for logs that are debarked and placed in a veneer peeling machine, logs spin against blades to obtain pieces of wood in continuous thin sheets. At this step determines the final plywood uniformity and binding strength.

Drying the Veneers for Stability

Veneer dryer machine is used to dry the moisture before fresh veneer. When timber is properly dried, it does not warp or crack and the laminations bond well when pressed together in subsequent stages.

Glue Application and Layer Stacking

Dried veneers — dressed or un-dressed when wet with equipment of a veneer glue spreader machine It is then arranged in layers across the grain to add strength, limit shrinkage and improve dimensional stability.

Cold Press: Hot Press Bonded

Plywood cold press machine for stabilizing stacked panels. From there it goes to a plywood hot press machine, where the heat and pressure permanently attaches the various layers into solid sheets of plywood.

Trimming, Sanding, and Final Inspection

Those are then trimmed in standard sizes and pass through a plywood sanding machine where they get their surface sanded. Thicknessevaluation, flatness, and surface quality evaluation before packagingpreparation.
