2. How to produce Birch plywood by Kim Global
Like any other Plywood variety, Birch follows the same manufacturing process. Obviously, with the one crucial difference of the original source material being its source from European Baltic Birch plantations. Once the trees are removed from the plantation, they're dragged to a loading area by handy vehicles known as skidders. Here the logs are cut to size and loaded onto trucks in a long pile called a log deck.
Once cut and loaded the wood is ready to begin its exciting journey to the plywood mill. At the mill, they are placed onto a conveyor belt to be pushed through the debarking machine, which, as the name suggests, removes the bark from the tree. The wood is then softened through exposure to immense heat, allowing the blocks to be fed through the peeler lathe one at a time to create birch veneers from the surface. Optical scanners then analyse the materials to look for defects or any issues that need to be removed. Next up, the pieces are glued together and loaded into a hot press, before being passed through saws to be trimmed and cut to the desired lengths. With all of that out of the way, we’re left with a beautiful sheet of Birch Plywood!
