Definitions
- improved veneers are secured by a double filling technique wherein a portion of the discontinuity is first filled in an initial stage or phase, initially processed, and finally filled in a second stage then finally processed. While very desirable and beneficial results are achieved when using the present technique on top side processing, the technique and process are particularly adapted wherein the split or hole discontinuity is treated from the down or under side of the veneer.
- wood veneer strips as cut vary appreciably in quality and texture. Some lengths of the strips have no surface defects and are of the highest quality. These veneers, free of defects, may be utilized Iwithout any further processing as facing sheets for the manufacture of high quality plywood or lumber. Other veneer strips have slight defects and it is necessary that these surface splits, holes, and the like be repaired if they are to be used in the production of plywood panels or veneered lumber. Other strips are of a poor quality and are generally used as cross bands.
- Veneer strips also particularly require patching if they are to be utilized as substrates or supports for plastic films and the like.
- the outermost ply to which the film sheet is bonded be fiat and substantially completely free from surface cavities, discontinuities, and the like.
- the surface plies be of the highest quality and be free of cavities, holes, and the like.
- the solid inner ply or crossband be initially free of defects or processed and patched so as to render it defect free.
- the present invention is concerned with a novel technique and apparatus for upgrading veneers containing defects and producing high quality veneers free of open defects and discontinuities and having the desired and essential smooth fiat surfaces.
- the present method may be adapted for continuously patching wood veneers with a bonding composition and completely filling open voids or discontinuities in the sheets regardless of shapes or locations.
- inexpensive filler materials such as comminuted wood particles, and a binder may be readily and effectively utilized.
- a double filling and processing technique is utilized to secure a very high quality product. As mentioned heretofore, it is preferred to use the technique on the down side of the panel.
- dry aggregate in a first stage or phase, is introduced by suitable means into the voids on the bottom or under side of a piece of veneer moving along a conveyor such as on a Fourdrinier type wire screen passing over vacuum suction boxes.
- a conveyor such as on a Fourdrinier type wire screen passing over vacuum suction boxes.
- filling material is drawn into the void or open defect areas, with the excess aggregate or filling material falling off and being recovered by a return conveyor. An appreciable buildup occurs around the edges.
- the filled void is then nip rolled for compaction and shaved or brushed off down to the veneer surface.
- the filler aggregate (remaining) in the knothole or other open defect is of a thickness equal to that of the surrounding veneer.
- These level filled defects in a second stage are then passed over a second filling section where additional aggregate is introduced to the surface of the veneer.
- the suction box or means at this second section picks up a second layer of aggregate in the previously completely void areas due to some air passing through the porous aggregate already in the hole.
- the aggregate picked up at this point is channeled directionally into the remaining voids left from the first stage through which the suction air is passing.
- the double filled, or processed, patch is then finally vacuumed or shaved from the bottom side to give the desired depth of aggregate to secure the density desired in the finished patch.
- the patch is nip rolled again to physically compact the filling aggregate to the desired density in the void areas.
- the veneer is then passed from the filling machines to the presses for bonding of the respective plies, While various operating conditions may be used, one method is to use a continuous belt type of press and apply about 50 p.s.i. at 350 for 10 to 20 3 seconds. The se conditions may be varied appreciably as a function of other operating conditions. This heat sealing operation functions to retain the patch for handling the plies through the layup process with the nal patch cure occurring in pressing of the plywood panel.
- the described double fill procedure is very desirablesince, when using known techniques, problems existed with respect to an excess, ledge or, button of aggregate around the edge of the repaired void due to the overhang of the applied aggregate. This was very troublesome when patching both small and large knotholes simultaneously because if an adjustment were made to get minimum overhang on large knotholes, then the small knotholes would be starved or deficient as to the required aggregate. On the other hand, if the adjustment were made -to secure the required amount of aggregate for the small knot-holes, then a considerable excess of overhang ⁇ of aggregate would occur around the larger holes.
- the present double fill process completely overcomes this problem and produces rapid and efficient repair of all deficiencies in a panel, irrespective of the sizes of the deficiencies.
- discontinuity or void 1 has passed through a number of treating stages or operations as hereinafter described and is fully repaired in a manner to produce a very high quality product.
- Discontinuity 6 is moving through the first stage or first fill stage of the process while discontinuities 2 to S have passed through intermediate processing steps including the second fill stage.
- Defect 6 comprising a hole or a split is first filled in an initial filling stage with a filling material 11 by means of a suitable conveyor assembly 12.
- the material is drawn into defect or hole 6 ⁇ by means of an airstream passing through the defect secured by imposing a vacuum above the panel 10 in the assembly line.
- the desired vacuum conditions may be secured by any suitable means and apparatus (not shown).
- Aggregate is prevented from passing the defect by a fine mesh screen 26 which rotates around the rolls 25 and 24. This screen is positioned on the top surface of the panel while the same is being processed.
- the filled void having excess aggregate is passed through suitable. rollers 13 and 14 wherein the aggregate is compacted to the desired density.
- the initially compacted material as illustrated at 5, is passed through an element or means designed to remove the excess aggregate therefrom. This element may comprise a stiff bristle brush 15, a suitable scraper element or equivalent means.
- the patch after passing by the scraper element 15 as illustrated at 4 has a thickness equal to that of the panel.
- the patch or repair area 4 passes by a secondary feeder roller 1'6 assembly wherein additional 'filler material or aggregate 17 is applied to the patch 4.
- the suction applied in this secondary filling stage picks a second layer of aggregate due to air passing through the voids of aggregate already in the hole. Due to the directional controlled flow of the air stream, very little buildup of aggregate will occur around the edge of the hole. This is due to the restriction of air flow controlled by the material already introduced into the hole in the initial filling stage.
- the vacuum imposed in this area may be secured by any suitable arrangement of elements. Excess material is removed by means of a shaver element 18 or other equivalent means.
- Unused or excess filler applied in each stage is collected in aggregate return units 19 and 21 and is recycled to the operation.
- the patch containing the correct amount of aggregate passes through nip rolls 22 and 23 which produces the desired compaction to secure the correct density.
- Rolls 24 and 25 serve to introduce and remove the respective veneers to the processing elements.
- EXAMPLE In one operation a 1A veneer knothole 21/2: x 21/2 in size was filled with an aggregate using a conventional single pass technique and downside process. The aggregate was found to weigh eight grams and measure 2%" x 31/2" on the filling or overhang side. In another operation a similar but larger hole in the same veneer measuring 2% x 3" was filled using the double pass application technique of the present invention with the same settings on the machine. In the latter ope-ration the aggregate was found to weight nine grams and measure 2% x 3%" on the filling side. Thus surprisingly, there is considerably less overhang and equivalent, or better, weight with the double pass technique.
- composition of the filling aggregate may be varied appreciably in carrying out the present technique.
- the aggregate used in the eX- ample had the following composition:
- Sash gang refers to gang saws mounted in a sash, i.e., frame or gate.
- 2J*M7D is Group 7, Grade D of milled asbestos according to the Quebec Standard Testing Method. Fibers are Segregated on this test as follows: on 10 mesh-3,1%; through 10 mesh-69%, Fibers generally range up to about 3/9 in length with the bulk of them being 1A or less in length, pref enably having a length from 1&4" tto 1A.
- Monsanto 575 is 1a thermosetting ⁇ aqueous ⁇ phemol-formaldehyde resin with a pH of 9.4 to 10.3, a viscosity of about 450 to 700 centipoises, a solids content of about 45% and a specie gravity of about 1.140 to 1.155.
- dtParacol 404N is a paraffin wax emulsion, by weight, 46% solids, Wax, wax melting point 125 F. to 135 F., emulsion pH 6.0-6.5, Weight per gal. 8 lbs., average particle size 1-2 microns.
- compositions may be used but with less effective results.
- the present invention is also particularly adaptable for cold press patching techniques especially when using a latex additive formation.
- the patching operations may be conducted at temperatures in the range from about 65 to 180 F. particularly in the range from about to about 160 F.
- the cold patching operation utilizing nip rolls produces an excellent quality product.
- the cold or warm patching has the distinct economic advantage of requiring very little or no cooling as is necessary to prevent further cure in the stack when using the hot-set procedure described in last paragraph of Column 2.
- the cold set patch would, of course, be finally cured in hot pressing of the plywood panels.
- the resin and latex may be added simultaneously.
- Other latices such as natural or butadiene-acrylonitrile and butadiene-styrene of other monomer ratios may be used but the butadiene styrene latex is preferred due to its excellent performance.
- Another desirable formulation utilizing a dry, powdered resin binder is as follows:
- compositions comprise from about l to parts by weight of asbestos fiber, the preferred compositions containing from about 21/2 to 5 parts of asbestos fiber. The amount of sawdust with respect to the asbestos fiber may be adjusted accordingly.
- the amount of phenolic resin may vary in the range from about 1 to 15 parts, preferably from about 4 to 6 parts while the amount of rubber latex may vary from 21/2 to 15 parts, preferably from about 5 to 10 parts by weight.
