Making process engineered wood flooring

Engineered wood flooring now becomes one of the favorite types of floor for the room in the house because of this type of wood floors easy installation and maintenance. However, the production process is not as simple as the installation process. Important part wood flooring consists of layers that form the basis vinir layer 3-6mm thick and arranged crosswise to get the required thickness (8-15mm). And the top layer of vinir thin (0.5-3mm) as an aesthetic coating.
Base Layer
With the basic ingredients of logs, engineered wood floor manufacturers will start to peel or cut the log into vinir, similar to artificial board manufacturing process. A very important job at this step is drying the vinir before coated become base layer engineered flooring.
Vinir sheets are arranged in a row on the desk dryer moving toward the oven space machine. With a certain speed, vinir is dry when out of the oven at the other end of the machine. Because vinir thin and with air humidity in Indonesia, which averaged 70-85% will require a large space to store the dry vinir before coated become base layer. The room was called ‘Conditioning Room’ with temperature and humidity are stable and small air movements, so do not change shape vinir. Once saved at least 24 hours in the 'conditioning rooms' new vinir further processed in the coating.
Pressing
Vinir sheets arranged to obtain a certain width and length and then spread with special glue and do the pressing with a cold press machine or hot press, depending on the type of glue and the type of flooring that are being produced. Final layer can be done simultaneously or separately. After the glue dries, sheets peeled and cut to size width and the right length, after which a new finishing process done.
Finishing
The average finishing methods used for engineered flooring is the type of roller coater or curtain coater that using finishing materials of UV (Ultraviolet) which is scratch resistant and quick dry. This engine configuration is very long with rolling work table. After basic sandpaper until smooth, object work into the first machine to be coated with base material finishing. At the time the work piece is out of this machine is able to directly emery in preparation for the next layer. In line finishing machines for the second layer, work sites more closed and protected from dirt or dust. When object work out of this machine can directly packed, of course, after checked by the QC factory. Compared with ordinary furniture factory that makes the chair or table, engineered flooring manufacturing process is more simple, but necessary machinery and better technology. Many process machines (up to 80%) than the manual process. Production speed is very high because almost all done with machines.

Layer of wax on the cross Teak
A few days ago I visited a factory that produces furniture outdoor and use teak wood. There was one of their routines that inspired me to write this article. In a few hundred cubic meters of sawn teak wood pile, all the sections of teak covered with a layer of wax. Maybe you've seen the same thing and wonder why they do that? Wooden structure such that the cross-section of wood is the easiest place for the water in the timber to escape or go into the woods again. Most of the teak wood is dried by air-drying, the traditional method of drying the wood but the most efficient method today for teak wood. As a type of wood with the highest economic value, care of teak wood are concerned. Layer of wax on the teak sectional is one way to prevent water back into the teak wood and make wood MC levels rise. This may be happen at that time was the rainy season and the outside air humidity is 70-85%. It is also generally done by the exporter of sawn timber in the world. Time required for delivery long enough. I've never seen this on sawn timber exported from Indonesia.
