Veneer Drying

After the veneer is peeled from logs, it contains high moisture content. Dryers use steam generated by boilers to remove excess moisture and reduce the moisture content to optimal levels.
The steam from the boiler is used to heat the drying chambers or direct steam drying units, ensuring a uniform drying process, which is critical for producing high-quality plywood.

Log Conditioning

Before peeling, logs are either soaked in hot water or exposed to steam to soften the wood fibres, making it easier to peel thin veneer layers.
Boilers provide the steam necessary for heating the water or for direct steam treatment. This softens the logs, reducing cracking and improving veneer quality.

Pressing

In the hot pressing process, multiple veneer layers are bonded together with adhesive, with heat and pressure applied to cure the adhesive and set the layers.
Boilers supply the steam required to heat the hydraulic presses that bond the veneer layers. The controlled steam pressure ensures even heating, critical for strong adhesion.

Resin/Adhesive Curing

The resin or adhesive used to bond veneer layers needs to be cured under heat to form a strong bond.
The steam generated by boilers is often used in the curing process, ensuring that adhesives are set properly without over- or under-curing, which could compromise product quality.

Heating of Industrial Equipment

Various machines, such as lamination equipment and edge finishers, require heat to process plywood sheets and apply surface treatments.
Boilers provide the steam or hot water necessary to maintain optimal equipment temperatures for consistent plywood processing.

Thermal Treatment

Some plywood products undergo thermal treatment to improve durability, moisture resistance, or fire resistance.
Boilers generate the steam or heat required to perform these thermal treatments, ensuring uniform application.
