Plywood is a flexible and commonly used material that is widely used in many industries such as construction and furniture production. The plywood manufacturing process involves drying the veneer until the desired humidity level is reached. Veneer dryers are essential to improve the efficiency of plywood production. The advantages and importance of veneer dryer in plywood production are discussed in this paper.
Wood technology equipment and expertise
Veneer manufacturers can choose from a wide range of equipment and machinery provided by FOCUS MACH to produce veneers. Our machinery is designed to guarantee the highest standards of quality and efficiency in plywood and furniture production.
Diversified bark manufacturing
We offer everything from a single drying unit with manual feeders to an entire veneer drying line with scanners, stacking systems and automatic feeders. We provide the wood manufacturing industry with cutting-edge veneer drying technology for optimal energy efficiency.
These veneers are used in the furniture industry, ships, hotel facilities, and various interior design needs. Veneer stripped and dried on our drying line is used in the production of plywood and LVL (veneer laminated wood).
Feed system
Our feeding systems are designed to meet specific veneer production needs. Feeding can be semi-automatic or fully automatic. The system is vacuum-driven and quickly lifts the wet board and moves it to the dryer.
Veneer dryer
The veneer is evenly dried across the entire width and at all levels of the dryer, using precise air distribution to maintain consistency. Our product range includes belt dryers for rotary cutting veneer, drum dryers and press dryers for smooth and flat decorative veneer.
Rotary veneer stacking system
Vacuum belts on the stacking line transport the dried veneer to different stacking stations according to the quality grade. The number of stackers required depends on the number of quality levels required by the customer. A variety of automation options are available for transporting and handling dry veneer piles.
Measuring system - Moisture thickness measuring system
The quality of the veneer is continuously monitored by an in-line moisture and thickness inspection system, which can be used upstream or downstream of the dryer. With the non-contact sensor, the board humidity and thickness can be monitored simultaneously immediately after the board is spun. Therefore, the energy input of the dryer can be optimally controlled by detecting the humidity level of the veneer. You can also use the collected data to show trends.
FOCUS MACH manufactures various dryers for drying pine veneer, poplar veneer, beech veneer, birch veneer, etc. If you have any inquiries about sheet drying, please feel free to contact us.
