We believe we have made significant impact on the wooden side of life. Here are some steps we follow to manufacture branded plywood : Step-1: Cutting the logs The large wooden logs, normally stored under water are cut into pieces according to the production requirement.Tools/Machinery required: Large hand saw or machine saw (Saw mill). Step-2: Processing the logs The pieces of the logs are then at around 70-90 degree C temperature for 12-14 hours either under hot water or in a steam chamber.Tools/Machinery required: Steam chamber or hot water bath. Step-3: Debarking The bark or the thick skin around the log is removed either by hand tools or by using a debarking machine.Tools/Machinery required: large chisel and hammer or debarking machine. Step-4: Veneer making Veneers are the few millimeters thick layers of wood of. The veneers can be made either by peeling or by slicing. The log is to be loaded to a peeling lathe or a slicer machine for making veneers out of it. Step-5: Wet ClippingThe veneer then cut into pieces of required sizes by using a clipping machine. The clipping machine works like a big scissors.Tools/Machinery required: Veneer clipping machine. Step-5: DryingThe veneers are then dried partially by sunlight and partially by a dryer machine. Maintaining required amount of moisture in veneers is very important for producing the good quality plywood.Tools/Machinery required: Veneer dryer, Veneer moisture meter. Step-6: Dry ClippingAfter drying again the veneers are clipped using the clipping machine. This step is required to cut the veneers in close tolerance and to remove the drying defects.Tools/Machinery required: Veneer clipping machine. Step-7: Resin preparationsEither liquid or the powder resins are used for making glue. Urea formaldehyde (UF) and phenyl formaldehyde (PF) are the two most common types of resins used in plywood manufacturing. In case of liquid resin, the resin is manufactured normally in house by using a resin kettle or resin plant.Tools/Machinery required: Resin plant or kettle. Step-7: Gluing and assemblyThe correct sized veneers are then glued normally by using a gluing machine. The veneers are passed in between two rollers of the gluing machine. The rollers of the gluing machine are kept wet by the continuous supply of glue. The odd numbers of veneer layers are assembled such a way that the grain directions of the consecutive layers are perpendicular to each other.Tools/Machinery required: Veneer gluing machine. Step-8: Hot pressingThe assembled veneer layers are transferred inside the hot press which apply specific pressure and temperature for specified duration of time to the veneers assembly and convert it to plywood by curing the resins. Tools/Machinery required: Hydraulic hot press Step-9: TrimmingThe circular power saw is used for trimming the plywood boards to give it the required size.Tools/Machinery required: Circular power saw Step-10: Inspection, labeling and dispatching Inspection is performed to find out the rejected and reparable pieces among the good pieces. The reparable pieces are repaired using putty and color pastes manually. Finally labeling and dispatching is done.Tools/Machinery required: Labeling machine. This is how typical plywood manufacturing process and machinery goes.
How and where Plywood can be used ?
Sangrila Ply as a building material is very widely used due to its many useful properties. It is an economical, factory-produced sheet of wood with precise dimensions that does not warp or crack with changes in atmospheric moisture.Plywood has a huge range of used within the construction industry. Some of its most common uses are: DoorsTimber is one of the most popular and superior material choices for both internal and external doors. Whether manufactured from solid or engineered timber, there are many stylish and practical options that won’t compromise on strength and structural performance. A distinctive timber door can also create visual impact, adding value to any commercial or domestic building. Exterior StairsFor outdoor applications, timber is one of the leading material choices. Timber use in external staircase applications creates structures of strength and durability, sheathed in a natural beauty that blends seamlessly with the outdoor environment. External CladdingThe natural appeal, versatility and strength of timber makes it the superior choice for external cladding. Through specification, planning, design and finishing processes, timber cladding not only creates a building of superior strength, acoustic and thermal performance but also creates a place of beauty, style and natural appeal. FlooringWhether for structural or finished flooring applications, timber offers durability, versatility and adaptability. The warmth, strength and natural beauty of timber flooring has proved enduringly popular in a wide variety of interior settings. FramingSince people began building simple shelters, wooden framing has played an important role in shaping structures of many kinds. One of the most popular types of wooden framing is known as lightweight timber construction. Interior Rails and BalustradesWith its natural beauty and inherent strength, timber is a popular material choice in internal balustrade construction. Commonly built from treated softwoods and durable hardwoods, interior balustrades and handrails are typically finished with a clear lacquer to generate the most natural result. Interior StairsTimber should be the material of choice for designers seeking internal staircases of strength, beauty and durability. The construction procedure described here applies to most general type stairs of either conventional or contemporary construction. Internal PanelingTimber paneling creates interiors as warm as they are stylish. Commonly using an MDF or plywood substrate, internal timber paneling is natural and versatile and comes as either solid natural timber panels or as sheets of engineered wood products Shear wallsLateral loads such as wind or earthquake on framed timber buildings – either post and beam or stud and joist – need to be resisted and shear walls and diaphragms offer an effective and economical solution. Timber Joinery ProductsTimber joinery products offer a classic, unique and stylish touch to any interior design. Timber Portal FramesFor buildings that require large spans and column free interiors, timber portal frames provide one of the most aesthetically pleasing solutions. Utilising modern engineering technology, portal frame design transforms timber into a highly effective, efficient and economical structural product. This application guide provides a comprehensive overview of the process of using timber in the specification, fabrication and erection of portal frame structures.
