Tenderized Spindleless Veneer Peeler Vs Standard Spindleless Veneer Peeler

Working Principle

As a rule, the spindleless veneer peeler takes off veneers directly from the log with driven pressure rollers and a peeling knife. A log tenderizing process is incorporated through the spindleless veneer peeler, whereby fibers of wood are compressed and softened to lessen internal tension. This second step also enables the veneer to be peeled out more easily and homogeneously.

Veneer Quality Comparison

The standard spindleless veneer peelers generates high quality veneer suitable for common plywood manufacturing. But, as a-side effect spindleless veneer peelers generally produce much clearer veneer surfaces, more uniform thickness and small amount of cracks-splits and surface roughness in hardwood processing.

Distance to the wood recovery and use as raw material

Because they leave a smaller residual core than conventional spindle veneer lathes, both machines provide greater wood recovery. But the tenderised version is more further enhanced by good veneer yield as it can reduce veneer breakage while peeling, so vendors got higher usable from each log.

Suitable Wood Species and Applications

The standard spindleless veneer peeler can be applied for common wood species such as poplar, pine, eucalyptus and rubberwood. This spindleless veneer peeler is very suitable for hard dense timber, plantation timber and difficult to peel logs; thus it is required by the manufacturers who need advanced quality of veneers.

Which of the two machines is a better option?

For manufacturers that specialize in standard plywood and general veneer, a regular spindleless veneer peeler is the most economical choice and will get the job done without consuming too much time. It means if you aim for dozens of years of maximum veneer recovery, higher surface quality, lower peeling defects at less demanding wood species with more efficiency, then spending a bit extra on a tenderized spindleless veneer peeler is worth long-term.
