Abstract

The invention concerns a process and a plant for the manufacture of endless veneer laminates from a strand of veneer panels made from several layers of veneer panels layered one above the other and one behind the other by means of gluing and pressing in a heated, continuously operating press, and whereby optionally the strand of veneer panels passes through a pre-press with a preheating device before entering the continuously operating press.
The invention consists in that several veneer panels of manufacturing width are brought together, each overlapping the other, and are stitched on the connecting edges into over-width veneer panels, following which several of these over-width veneer panels are assembled into a veneer panel strand in layers one above the other and one behind the other and introduced into the heating press and glued and pressed into a veneer laminate strand. In the plant, for the formation of over-width veneer panels (34), an interleaving device with stitching machine (32) is located upstream of the veneer panel laying device, while downstream of the continually operating press (18) are located an appropriate number of longitudinal edging and centre cut saws.

Description

Process and Plant for the Manufacture of Endless Veneer Laminates The invention relates to a process for the manufacture of endless veneer laminates from a strand of veneer panels made from several layers of veneer panels layered one above the other and one behind the other by means of gluing and pressing in a heated, continuously operating press, whereby the strand of veneer panels passes through a prepress with a preheating device before entering the press, and to a plant for carrying out the process.
German Patent No. DE-OS 196 27 024 discloses a process the object of which is to automatically bring lamination assemblies of large-area veneer panels (or sheets) continuously together into a sufficient mechanical interlinking so that in the subsequent continuous pressing operation these veneer panel transitional stages demonstrate, in the finished veneer laminate, almost the same physical strength characteristics as the traditional veneer laminates built up from veneer laminate assemblies on the sandwich principle. High-quality veneer laminate panels can be manufactured using this process if all production and manufacturing parameters are optimally harmonized with each other and the plant operated accordingly. The disadvantage is that only relatively narrow veneer panels of approximately 1.2 m (4 feet) width can be produced and thus the output of completed LVL panels and veneer panels per plant is small.
The object of the invention is to provide a process by which a higher throughput can be achieved in the manufacture of veneer laminates and to devise a plant for the execution of the process according to the invention.
In accordance with one aspect of the present invention there is provided a process for manufacturing endless veneer laminates from a veneer panel strand of several layers of veneer panels joined one above the other and one behind the other by means of gluing and pressing in a continuously operating press, wherein several veneer panels of manufacturing width are brought together, each overlapping the other, and are stitched on the connecting edges into over-width veneer panels, following which several of these over-width veneer panels are assembled into a veneer panel strand in layers one above the other and one behind the other and introduced into a heating press and glued and pressed into a veneer laminate strand.
The plant for the execution of the process according to the invention consists of a glue application machine for the veneer panels, conveyers, a veneer panel laying device and a continuously operating press, characterized in that for the formation of overwidth veneer panels an interleaving device with sewing machine is located upstream of the veneer panel laying device, while downstream of the continually operating press an appropriate number of longitudinal edging and centre cut saws are located.
The joining together by stitching of the overlapped 1.2 m (4 feet) wide single veneer panels lying side by side and above and behind each other into an overwide veneer panel strand provides the advantage that after pressing immediately downstream of the continuously operating press the 2x4 or 3x4 foot wide veneer laminates are once more separated in such a way that the central separation cut strip = R is significantly smaller in comparison to the external longitudinal edging saw strip = S. In practice it turns out to be about a quarter of S, that is, R is approximately s~ S.
From this the following advantage is derived:
With an endlessly produced veneer laminate 2x4 feet wide with a central seam for 8 foot width, which after pressing is separated through the central cut R, waste material of only VTm will be produced:
VTm - ( (2.S) + (1.R) ) - 2~ S.
This advantage will increase further in the case of a 3x4 foot wide veneer laminate panel with two veneer central seams.
The applicable formula then reads:
VT,n - ( (2.S) + (1.R) J - 23z S.
If it is assumed that in plywood and LVL veneering operations veneer panels of 4 feet can be milled or manufactured, then by laying the edges over one another for a seam, 2x4 or even 3x4 foot wide veneer panel strands can be manufactured in an endless strand. That means that a continuously operating press for veneer laminates for widths of 8 or 12 feet can come into operation, in comparison with the current state of the art of LVL presses with 4-foot bed width. This produces for the same press factor (pass-through speed and throughput rate) a twofold to threefold increase in output whereby a greater width in terms of the entire plant entails lower production costs than the operation of two or three single unit press lines alongside each other. As well, the product is more economical to produce owing to the reduced wastage while the installation costs for a doubled or tripled production output can be considerably reduced in comparison to two or three 4-foot wide installations.
The cited advantages of the process according to the invention also come to fruition if a single- or multi-stage press is used in the plant instead of the continuously operating press.
Further advantageous measures and embodiments of the object of the invention become apparent from the following description and drawings.
Shown are:
Figure 1 a side view of the plant according to the invention for the performance of the procedure according to the invention;
Figure 2 shows the veneer assembly composition with veneer panel length (H), veneer panel projection (L) and veneer panel overlap (y);
Figure 3 an overwidth veneer panel strand with a stiched seam;
Figure 4 a section G-G as per Figure 3; and Figure 5 an overwidth veneer panel strand with two stiched seams.
Figure 1 shows a complete overview and perspective representation of the plant according to the invention for carrying out the process according to the invention.
As seen from the longitudinal arrangement of the plant according to Figure 1, the sections of the plant indicate the following:
A Veneer panel glue application device, B Veneer panel sticking device, C Veneer panel location and interlinking device, D Prepress with pre-heating device, E Continuously operating press, and F Veneer laminate (finished product).
Plant Section A:
Veneer panels (1) formed from veneer sheets with veneer thicknesses typically of 1 mm to about 4.6 mm and surface dimensions of typically 4'x 8' or 3'x 6' feet (about 1.2 x 2.4 m) are run at high speed from the veneer panel stacks (not shown) through the glue application machine (2) and fed to transfer belt (3). Only the upper side of the veneer panels (1) is glued, permitting good transportability on the belts and roller paths through the entire plant section (B) to and including plant section (E). According to Figure 2, only the topmost veneer panel (m) of a veneer assembly (9, 10 or 11) is not glued.
Adhesion is formed in each case by the glueing of the veneer panel (n) lying underneath. The layer structure of a strand is numerically registered in its passage through line sections (A, B and C,) the veneer panels (1) are correspondingly counted in the feed-in to the glue application device.
Plant Section B:
From Figures 3 and 4 it can be seen that before the assembly of a veneer panel strand (29) in the veneer panel laying device (33) and introduction into the continuously-operating press (18), veneer panels (1 and 1'), each four feet wide (A and B) are stitched together with a stitching machine with a stitched seam (30) into an over-width veneer panel (34) and fed over a feed belt (6) into the veneer panel laying device (33). Figure 5 shows by way of illustration the stitching of three veneer panels (1, 1' and 1") into an over-width veneer panel (34). Figure 4 shows further the advantageous central separation cut strip (R) in relation to the wider edging cut strip (S) after pressing in the continuously operating press (19), with the longitudinal edges of the veneer laminate panel (31) equalized and the stitching seam (30) removed.

_7_ Plant Section C:
The loading, layering and joining of the veneer panels (1) in the veneer panel laying device (33) is carried out as described in German Patent No. DE-OS 196 27 024.
Figure 2 shows the interlinked and interleaved building up of the veneer panels (1) into several veneer assemblies (9, 10 and 11) to a veneer panel strand (28), whereby the individual veneer panels (1) after being mechanically interleaved by veneer overlap (y) are glued to the corresponding veneer panels (m, n, o, p) of a veneer assembly (9, 10 or 11). In the process, the constant operating speed and the same geometrical positions of veneer panel length (H), veneer panel projection (L) and veneer panel overlap (y), constantly produce the same veneer assembly situation, that is the consolidation of veneer panels (1) with each other into an assembled strand.
Plant Section D:
This section with pre-press and pre-heating device is optional. The continuously formed veneer panel strand (28) is taken up by roller path (7) and fed to the intake roller table and the pre-press with pre-heating (15). This pre-press (15) consists of intake roller table (14) with an integrated pre-heating, which can typically be generated by UHF or a microwave field or by convective or radiant heat.
Plant Section E:
This section relates to any type of continuously operating press (18) for gluing and for pressing the veneer panel strand (28). The upper and lower steel belts (27) are _g_ supported against the heated compression/heating plates, possibly by means of roller rods.
Plant Section F:
After leaving the continuously operating press (18), the continuously and endlessly emerging veneer laminate (31) is fed to a finishing station, that is, the endless laminate (31) is cut into construction elements, beams and support elements for prefabricated houses.
