Packing Plywood

Product Details

WEEGO EXPORT-IMPORT JSC. would like to thank you for your interest in our plywood. We regard you as a potential and valued customer, and would like to have the honor to cooperate with you for the upcoming order as well as in the long term.

Kindly find the comprehensive information of our products and services below:

First of all, the raw material will be selected and stored at our factory/workshop. Depending on each order’s requirements, we flexibly choose the appropriate source of wood material. For instance, while using fine wood logs for high quality orders, we otherwise choose the wood core which is the waste product of commercial plywood process to lower the manufacturing cost.

Raw material storage

Initially, we use a veneer lathe to peel the logs, in which way the wood is compressed with a nose bar while the veneer knife cuts the blocks into veneers that are typically 1.7mm thick. The first bit of the veneer which includes lumber bark shall be cut off. The veneer pieces are then clipped to a usable width, typically 640m or as request, for shrinkage and trim.

The veneers are then manually pressed so they are perfectly flat and ready to go into kilns for drying process.

After that, the veneers are dried to a certain moisture content of below 12%. Thanks to the gifted tropical weather, our veneers are normally dried naturally under the sun until their moisture reaches the right level. However, during the rain season, we use driers/kilns to dry our veneers quicker and guarantee the right moisture content for our final goods.

Natural and kiln-dried veneers

After being dried, checked and divided into different quality types, veneers run through a curtain machine so a kind of glue are preperly spreaded all other the surface of the veneers.

Now, workers arrange layers of veneers to form the required thickness of the plywood pressed later on.

The laid-up assembly of veneers then is sent to a hot press in which it is consolidated under heat and pressure. Hot pressing has two main objectives: (1) to press the glue into a thin layer over each sheet of veneer; and (2) to activate the thermosetting resins. Typical press temperatures range from 132° to 165°C (270° to 330°F) for softwood plywood, and 107° to 135°C (225° to 275°F) for hardwood plywood. The time and temperature vary depending on the wood & resin types and customers’ requests.

Now the plywood is already formed. It is taken to a finishing process where edges are trimmed; the face and back may or may not be sanded smoothly; and the finished goods are packed. The type of finishing work depends on the finished product requirements.
