Equipment Selection

Select equipment combinations based on wood type, specifications, site conditions, and operator positioning.

First assess the wood type, sheet specification, workshop size, board discharge direction, and target capacity, then decide how to combine stacking, palletizing, unattended start‑up, and conveying components.

Confirm board dimensions and wood characteristics first

Common discussions revolve around specifications such as 97,121, and 127, with equipment speed, veneer receiving and stacking methods, and conveyor configurations evaluated based on thickness, wood species, log diameter, and input stability.

Reconfirm the plant space and existing equipment

When renovating an existing plant, first evaluate the rotary slicer’s location, board discharge direction, column positions, doorways, power and air supply, and forklift routes. For new plant planning, equipment layout can be determined by working backward from the overall line cycle time.

Finally decide whether to upgrade the standalone unit or adopt a full-line solution.

If the primary challenge lies in rear‑end manual veneer receiving and stacking, prioritize an automatic veneer stacker or an integrated palletizing and stacking machine; if front‑end feeding also stalls, then consider unmanned startup and conveyor components in tandem.
