Every scarf joint earns you money There is a steady demand for large plywood panels in the plywood market, but at the same time, as the availability of large diameter logs decreases, the raw material lumber it is made from is getting smaller in diameter which can be a problem. Plytec's process of scarf-jointing veneer is a cost-effective solution for producing large plywood panels from logs that are smaller and thinner. Design adaptability Plytec technology ensures a maximum yield from short and thin timber. Scarf jointing allows the veneer to be lengthened into sheets of the required size, so that the dimensions of the plywood panel no longer depend on the individual dimensions of each log used. Plytec’s scarf-jointing system is basically the only cost-effective way to make plywood out of small diameter logs. Scarf jointing is a simple process, but when quality is essential, the production process must be stable and easy to control. Firstly, a unit peels the veneer sheets along the grain; secondly, glue is applied to the topmost bevel; and finally the sheets are pressed together. The Plytec system ensures that the scarf jointed veneer matches the strength of adjacent material. The Plytec Scarf Jointing System is based on thoroughly tested and proven technology that is highly adaptable and provides a large spectrum of solutions. By tailoring it to individual customers’ needs, Plytec ensures maximal productivity and scalability of the system to meet any future requirements. For example, the system can be set up so that more pressing units or automatic control systems can be added as production increases or as quality demands grow.
