MANUFACTURING
PROCESS
SELECTION OF WOODEN LOGS

• Only matured trees are used.

• The age of trees should be 7-8 yrs.

• Selecting only those trees whose

moisture content level is 60-90%.
• Done to ensure smoothness while
running into machines.

• Cutting of huge quality log into smaller

pieces.
 DEBARKING
• Drum debarking is one of the methods used in the
timber industry to separate bark from wood. The
tumbling action produced by logs placed inside a
rotating drum can abrade the logs against other logs
and against the drum surface, dislodging bark from
the wood.

• Uniformly thick and smooth veneers peeled of the

wooden log using spindleless peeling machine.
CUTTING & TENDERIZING
• Veneers are cut into 8 feet by 2 feet
panels and 4 feet by 2 feet cores.

• TENDERIZING
- It helps in making thee veneer more
flexible and stress-free
 DRYING & CONDITIONING
• DRYING
- To ensure uniform
drying the tenderized
veneers are passed
through a dryer which
is at a controlled
temperature.

• CONDITIONING
- The veneers after drying are conditioned
for 24 hours to retain 6-8% of moisture.
- This is mainly done to make the veneer
flexible and to avoid it from cracking due
to dryness.
 COMPOSING & GLUE SPREADING
• COMPOSING
- All layers of veneer are composed to
8’x4’ in size with the help of core
composer machine, avoiding
overlapping and core gap problems

• GLUE SPREADING
- The veneer sheets are
then passed through
a 8 feet glue spreading
machine
- The resin glue used here
will vary according to the
type of board.
 COLD PRESSING

• COLD PRESSING
- To ensure greater penetration
of resin for stronger bond.
- The veneers are pre pressed
under fixed pressure for a
certain period of time.
- The face veneers are not over
laid in this step.
 HOT PRESSING
• HOT PRESSING
- The pre pressed plywood are then
taken to hot press section for curing
under controlled pressure and temp.
- The plywood boards are pressed for a
certain duration of time according to
the type of the board.
ROUGH CUTTING
• ROUGH CUTTING
- The boards are cut to perfection to give
them precise rectangular shape.

- The face boards are cut to size of 8’x4’

rectangles.
- The core boards are cut to size of 8’x2’
or 8’x3’. This is done to avoid warping.
CALIBERATING

- The plywood boards are

passed through
calibrating machine to
achieve uniform and
smooth finish and then
they are let to conditi-
oning.
THE 4 PRESS TECHNOLOGY

HOT PRESS

• BENEFITS
- Durability
- Uniform thickness
- Smooth surface
- Superior quality
- Max precision
- Greater strength.
COLD PRESS
 SANDING
&
SURFACE
TREATMENT
- The plywood boards are sent
through the sanding machine
to check if there any steam
pockets.
- The plywood board are made
borer and termite proof by
making them pass through
preservative surface
treatment.
- CCB – Copper Chromium
Borox is used as chemical in
surface treatment.
