1. Pre-treatment
The raw materials of particleboard are mainly tree trunks or branches, which generally need to be peeled, steamed, and debarked. These treatments can improve the quality of particleboard and ensure the stability and surface smoothness of particleboard.
2. Particleboard manufacturing
The manufacturing of particleboard is mainly completed by cutting wood chips. Specifically, the raw materials are cut into thin slices, and then the thin slices are cut into sawdust by a planer, and then the sawdust is added to the sawdust machine for compression to obtain particleboard.
3. Processing
In order to make the quality of particleboard better, a variety of treatments are required, such as adding glue and drying. Among them, adding glue mainly means adding appropriate glue to the sawdust, and drying means making the moisture content of particleboard reach the standard.
4. Surface treatment
The surface of particleboard generally needs to be sanded, black-lighted, etc. to increase its surface smoothness and beauty. In addition, the size of particleboard should be standardized to meet the specification requirements.
Commonly used equipment:
1. Wood peeling machine
2. Wood cutting machine
3. Shaving machine
4. Wood chip machine
5. Particleboard glue machine
6. Press machine
7. Dryer
8. Sanding machine
In short, the manufacture of particleboard needs to go through multiple links, which require a lot of equipment. The equipment introduced in this article is just a few commonly used ones. In fact, there are many other equipment to choose from. By understanding these process flows and equipment, I believe everyone has a deeper understanding of the production process of particleboard.
