The economic feasibility of preheating Douglas-fir blocks prior to peeling

Creator:

Baskin, Richard

Abstract:

Past research and industrial sources have implied that preheating Douglas-fir Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco prior to peeling veneer was economically feasible. To test this, the effect of treatment temperature on veneer yield and thickness variation for three diameter classes of low grade Douglas-fir logs was studied and related to the...

Masters Thesis
Computer simulation of plywood manufacturing using the GASP IV language

Creator:

Ulrich, Thierry Olivier P.

Abstract:

Because of the increasing need for the plywood industry to improve the performance and adaptability of its production facilities to meet demand, the need for a process-related decision-aiding method has been growing. The objective of this study was to develop a computer simulation for a plywood plant starting at the...

The effects of thin kiln sticks on the drying of two inch western hemlock lumber

Creator:

Horton, Robert Kenneth

Abstract:

New technology allows the production of thinner kiln sticks manufactured of phenolic resin impregnated paper which are both structurally and economically realistic. This project tested the effects of kiln stick thicknesses on dry kiln air circulation and on lumber drying degrade. Three variables, stick thickness (3/4, 9/16, 7/16 and 1/4...
