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
