Today, one of the most profitable industries in the production of building materials is the manufacture of plywood.
Novice entrepreneurs think that there is nothing easier than to buy a machine for the production of plywood and the necessary material. But this is not so at all. In order to get a sufficiently large profit, you need to choose the right development plan.
What strategy to choose
First of all, it is necessary to develop a strategy that would be carefully calibrated and thought out as much as possible. And for this you need to draw up a business plan. With it, you can evaluate the income that you will receive in the future, think over how much money you should spend to get exactly that kind of profit, and also decide which equipment is best to choose.
What equipment do you have to purchase
If everything is clear with the costs of production and materials, the equipment for the production of plywood needs to be carefully selected. First of all, you must understand that the number of purchased devices depends on how many finished products you are willing to sell. But you need to know that you definitely need to buy the following types of machines:
- shelling;
- calibration;
- cutter.
The calibration machine helps to remove the top layer from the tree. Shelling removes that part of the veneer that is on the top layer of wood. Sawing helps to cut the canvas as accurately as possible into sheets that you need for sale. As a rule, for the purchase of all necessary equipment, a novice entrepreneur will have to spend about 65 thousand dollars.
What technology to create plywood for?
Before the raw materials enter the units, they are carefully selected. After this, the material must be boiled in a special pool so that it becomes more convenient in use. It also allows you to make raw materials better. After the end of the processing process, you need to remove the bark from the wood, look for metal objects on it. Only then can it be fed into plywood manufacturing equipment.
After removing the first layer of veneer on a peeling machine, it is divided into separate sheets. They need to be sent to the dryer where they are sorted. It should be understood that different veneers are obtained from different types of trees.
If there is too much moisture in the veneer, then it is additionally dried. After all the necessary checks, the sheets are glued so that the fibers of different veneers are connected perpendicular to each other. This makes future plywood more durable. After that, the veneer goes under a cold press, and then for trimming to the desired size.
Which machines allow you to scan for imperfections in wood
The characteristics of the equipment for the production of plywood allows already at the first stage of production to find out what defects exist in the material and to correct them. To do this, you need to purchase special moisture meters and conveyors. You also need to think about buying a line that allows you to dry and sort the veneer.
Other units
If you intend to produce plywood, then your workshops must have automatic equipment for hot-type pressing with unloading and loading, as well as for premature pressing. Due to the fact that wood can be processed there under high pressure, it becomes more durable.
With the help of a machine for cutting panels, your plywood will receive the necessary shape and size. You will also need tapes for transporting veneer waste and finished products.Such lines are automatic.
