Maximize lay-up capacity and reduce glue consumption

Plywood Lay-up Line R7

Plywood Lay-up Line R7 - optimized for high-quality plywood

The fully automated Plywood Lay-up Line R7 follows the operator-set recipe and automatically feeds the sheets in the correct order for lay-up. It utilizes intelligent analyzers to optimize sheet alignment, and veneer pairing allows feeding up to three sheets at once for maximum capacity. 

Raute one-sided liquid extruder (LEG) and curtain coating (CC) gluing methods in the line, as well as gripper veneer feeding options, are gentle and don’t break thinner sheets. One-sided gluing saves up to 25% in glue consumption compared to traditional roller gluing. Vacuum box feeding is available for cross-grain sheets.

The use of paired ply numbers in one-sided gluing enables the use of thicker sheets inside the structure, bringing savings in glue consumption through a reduced gluing need. An optional camera analysis for gluing control further optimizes chemical use. Raute MillSIGHTS production intelligence system to turn production data into actionable insights that support data-driven decisions and continuous improvement.

 

The first one-sided R7-Series lay-up lines were delivered over 20 years ago. Most of the world's one-sided lay-up lines have been delivered by Raute. Utilize our expertise also for designing a tailored lay-up line for your specific needs!
