Panel repairing means fixing defects after the panel has been made. Repairing on the panel is done because some of the defects cannot be repaired before the panel is formed. By repairing these defects, the end quality of the panel is higher meaning better recovery with more valuable production for the whole mill. Repairing is the last manual heavy process …

The last but not least part of plywood or any other panel production is its finalizing, preparation to meet the  requirements of the end custmer. Repairing, trimming, sanding, edge painting, overlaying  are the most common processes before packing. Raute’s offering covers all technologies for panel handling.  Just highlighting one of them: Ecological and efficient panel repairing is in the core …

Pre-pressing and hot pressing lines for producing strong, high-quality plywood with a smooth surface for different end uses. Pre-pressing and hot pressing lines for high-quality plywood In pressing the plywood panel reaches its final mechanical strength. First, the lay-up stack is pre-pressed at room temperature to give plywood panels enough strength for automatic handling during hot pressing. The panels are …

Maximize face veneer recovery by patching with solid wood Repairing veneer by patching holes and knots is one of the most cost effective ways to improve value of end product in terms of more valuable plywood grades. There is an increasing demand for face veneer in the production of thinner panels and a decreasing amount of large-diameter logs available. Patching …

Scarf-jointing improves productivity and recovery from small diameter or curved blocks by clipping any possible defects and jointing good quality veneer sheets together. In scarf-jointing shorter veneer sheets are combined together to create sheets as long as the longer edge of the final plywood panel.  Raute scarf-jointing lines give flexibility for production of any size plywood. Scarf-jointing can be used …

Increase recovery of face veneer with intelligent composing Raute face veneer composing technology is the most advanced on the market. It increases face recovery up to 20% compared to other face composing methods. It allows you to compose even small, 200mm wide strips into full size veneer sheets with invisible butt joints that maximize veneer strength and face veneer quality. Raute …

Intelligent core veneer composing makes the most of randoms Compose randoms to core sheets for plywood production, instead of chipping them to pulp or energy. Joint small veneer pieces together in cross-grain direction to create wider veneer sheets and use these composed sheets inside the plywood panel as core sheets.​ Raute core veneer composers glue both with glue strings and …

Composing gives more core, green, and face As wood raw material is the most expensive part of production costs, even small pieces of veneer should be used to improve recovery. This is possible through proper composing that includes intelligent defect detection and clipping. Full size veneers produced in composing also increase drying efficiency. Raute has the world’s most comprehensive composer range …
