Maximizing Yield in Veneer Peeling - A Practical Approach

The yield for any LVL or plywood producer is defined by the efficiency of the veneer peeling process: the better you are able to utilize raw materials the more you can produce valuable end product. Striving towards maximum efficiency ultimately translates into a very simple thing: how many full sheets you are able to produce per block.

Different peeling technologies allow you to produce anything from thin decorative veneer to thick softwood veneer. The whole peeling process consists of block centering, peeling, veneer analyzing, clipping, and stacking as well as stack handling, all of which have an impact on your production performance.

This whitepaper shares practical views on maximizing yield throughout the peeling process.
