Veneer is the main input material for plywood production, and the quality of plywood heavily depends on the quality of the veneer. Therefore, it is crucial to check the quality of veneer before using it in plywood production. In this video, I will share my experience and knowledge on how to check the quality of veneer for plywood production. I will cover four key factors that you need to consider: 1. Thickness: The thickness of the veneer is the most important factor to consider. It must be sufficient and even throughout the entire sheet. 2. Grade: Veneer is typically graded into three categories: A, B, and C. Grade A is the highest quality, followed by B and C. You need to carefully inspect the veneer to determine its grade. 3. Moisture content: The moisture content of the veneer is also important. It should be within a certain range to ensure the quality of the plywood. 4. Size: The size of the veneer should be consistent and meet your requirements. By following the tips in this video, you can ensure that you are using high-quality veneer for your plywood production. #veneer #plywood #kontrplak #vietnam

The plywood production process starts with logging. Once the trees have reached the required age for cutting, they are logged and carefully selected. The birch wood suitable for plywood production is taken to the factory where it is measured, assessed for quality and prepared for further processing. 🌳 💧 Before the plywood is peeled, the wood is thermally prepared by soaking it in 45 °C hot water for 20 hours. This process is crucial to increase the elasticity of the wood, which is necessary for the veneer to be durable and crack-free. After soaking, the veneer blocks are peeled and the quality and dimensions of the veneer are checked with a camera in order to sort them for their future use in plywood production. The veneers are then dried, inspected and prepared for processing. Quality assessment is essential to ensure that only the best wood is used in the next stages of production. ⚙️ #plywood #plywoodmanufacturing #Latvia #birchplywood

📌 Before gluing, plywood and top veneer must be balanced to control the moisture content: Boards are stacked piece by piece. Then, they are kept in the Balance room, which is ventilated and dry. #Kelaiwood Balance time: above 72H Moisture content control: 6%-10% #plywood #woodflooring #moisturecontent #engineeredwoodflooring #hardwoodflooring #topveneer

The first steps in plywood production are the preparation of the birch logs to produce the veneer sheets. 🌳 What does this process look like at the Stiga RM Kuldīga mill? Watch the video! 🤔 #plywood #plywoodmanufacturing #Latvia #birchplywood

Requirements and inspection standards for veneer cut lumber generally include the following: Dimensional Requirements: The thickness, width, and length of veneer cut lumber should meet specific dimensional requirements, which are usually based on the specific application and manufacturing standards. Surface smoothness: The surface of veneer cut wood should be smooth and should have no obvious unevenness or blemishes to ensure that it is suitable for decoration and processing. Cracks and Blemishes: Veneer cut lumber should be slightly blemished, but should not have extensive cracks, cracks, or other obvious defects to ensure its beauty and quality. Humidity and Moisture Content: The moisture and moisture content of veneer cut wood should be within specific ranges to ensure its stability and processing properties. Wood species and sources: Veneer cut wood should be from suitable wood species and should be of legal origin to ensure it is environmentally friendly and sustainable. Inspection standards are usually set by relevant industry organizations, national standards or manufacturers, and specific requirements may vary by region and product.

During the foaming process, the sponge generates a significant amount of heat due to the chemical reactions involved. Therefore, sponge foam typically requires a cooling period of 3 to 5 days. This cooling process is not only to bring the sponge to room temperature, but also to allow the foam structure to fully stabilize, ensuring the sponge’s elasticity, hardness, and density remain consistent. Using the sponge before it has completely cooled may affect its physical properties and shorten its lifespan. #foam #sponge #furniture #mattress #pillow #tdi

This tool is a chimney clay tile breaker and it's breaking clay chimney tiles... but why? 👇 They are doing it to make more space - most wood stove flue collars measure 6" (152 mm) in diameter. However, they need to fit into existing clay or terracotta liners that are only about 6⅝" (168 mm) wide. To safely install a stainless steel liner, you also need a ½" (13 mm) thick insulation layer, which requires a total space of 7⅜" (187 mm). In many homes, the existing flue is too narrow to allow for this. The solution as seen in the video, is to remove the old terracotta or clay liners, which provides an extra 1.57 inches (40 mm) of space. That's more than enough space to allow for the installation of the necessary insulated stainless steel liner that meets safety standards👍 Clay flue liners typically need to be replaced every 15-20 years because of deterioration which can lead to carbon monoxide leaks. Whereas stainless steel liners can last up to 25 years, with some high-quality options potentially lasting a lifetime. Although stainless steel flue liners likely have a higher carbon footprint due to the energy-intensive nature of producing metals and they aren't as recognizably "natural". Their recyclability and longer lifespan offset these impacts over the entire lifecycle of the product.
