    Manufacturing Process of Veneer Wood

    The veneer production process begins with logs being measured and stored. The bark is removed and the logs are soaked to soften the wood. The soaked logs are then sliced into thin veneer sheets using different slicing methods like flat slicing, rotary cutting, and quarter slicing. The veneer sheets are dried in high temperature air dryers then inspected, cut to size, glued at the edges, matched for consistency, measured, packed, and labeled.

    Manufacturing process of Veneer Wood

     The process of the veneer production in mill starts as the timber logs brought in by
    trucks are immediately measured, sorted and stored in the log yard. based on their
    quality.
     The bark is then peeled off while ensuring that evenness is maintained.
     The wood must be softened in order to cut it into smooth veneer of even thickness
    so the logs are soaked in 40⁰C- 80⁰C temperature water for 2-3 days.
     The wood is then sliced and peeled by veneer slicing machines which cut the logs into
    thin layers called veneers based on their specifications needed. Thin, long sheets of
    wood are obtained. There are 4 methods of slicing that can be used for the cutting of
    the logs:
    1. Flat Slicing:
    It is the most widely recognized cutting strategy. The half log is set with the
    'heart side' against the flitch table. Cutting is corresponding to a line through
    its inside. This cut creates a light varicoloured pattern. The cuts acquired by
    this technique are constantly uniform.

    2. Rotary Cut:
    The log is midway mounted on the machine and turned against a sharp cutting
    edge. The cut follows the logs yearly development rings. A striking
    varicoloured grain stamping is delivered. The sheets are produced especially
    wide.

    3. Quarter Slicing:
    This technique creates a progression of straight lines. The quarter log is
    mounted on the flitch table in such an orientation that the log growth rings
    and the blade connect at right angles.

    4. Rift Slicing:
    For this technique, the pivot speed of the log is dictated by the log size,
    specific highlights of the types of wood, its common shape, and the thickness
    of the veneer. A quarter of the log is fixed to a plate, and the plate is then
    fixed acentric to the center line of a turning lathe. As the flitch is rotated, it
    comes in contact with the knife and the angle can be varied so that the wood
    is cut exactly to produce the very straight rift grain. This technique brings
    about a brush or fracture grain impact.

    5. Half Round Slicing:


    This cut is a variety of rotational cut. The grain impact delivered by this cut
    has qualities of both rift cut and slat slice veneer. The cut marginally crosses
    the yearly development rings.
     The veneer sheets enter one by one carefully into the dryer, where they are dried
    evenly within a few minutes. Air temperature of up to 170⁰C at high velocity is
    blasted on the surface. The veneer must be dried in such a way that it has at least 8-
    12% of moisture content generally around 4-5 minutes.
     As veneer slices leave the dryer, they are again reassembled and the identification is
    subjected to several verifications including examining and classifying the wood
    veneer.
     They are then cut with clippers to obtain sheets that are even in length after which it
    is put through the glue machine which bonds the edges of the veneers.
     Veneer matching is then undertaken using the application of heat and pressure to
    ensure a consistent match is obtained.
     The veneer sheets are finally measured, packed and labels are stuck with their
    individual specifications.
