Raute

Raute to supply Richmond Plywood Corporation Ltd. (Richply), Canada and Tolko Industries Ltd., Canada withRaute Plywood Lay-up Line R7, and Swanson Group, USA has ordered a Raute Plywood Lay-up Line R5. Automation plays a significant role in profitable production because it is difficult to find labor across the board.

Current labor-intensive technology to be replaced by these brand-new lay-up lines

Raute is one of the industry forerunners in one-sided-gluing plywood lay-up lines with 50 deliveries. These plywood lay-up lines for the R7-Series and R5-Series deliverables are semi-automated. The one-sided gluing process will lower the mill’s glue consumption on Raute Lay-up Line R7, which will operate with two operators. The roll coater-operated Raute Lay-up Line R5 will have a modest footprint and be operated by two people. In collaboration with Finland and Canada, Raute designs and produces lines. Delivery of the lines is anticipated for 2023–2024.

The completely automated Plywood Lay-up Line R7 feeds the sheets in the appropriate order for lay-up by automatically following the operator-set formula. For optimal capacity, it makes use of sophisticated analyzers to maximize veneer pairing and sheet feeding of up to three sheets simultaneously. Delicate and non-breaking, Raute one-sided liquid extruder (LEG), curtain coating (CC), and feeding options for gripper veneer are used in the production line. Comparing one-sided gluing to conventional roller gluing, glue usage can be reduced by up to 25%. Cross grain sheets are provided for vacuum box feeding.

The sheets are fed into the automated Plywood Lay-up Line R5 for lay-up in accordance with your formula. Up to two sheets of face veneer can be fed at once using face veneer pairing. The line’s liquid extruder (LEG), curtain coating (CC), and feeding choices for gripper veneers are delicate and don’t tear thinner sheets. Cross grain sheets are provided for vacuum box feeding. The use of thicker sheets inside the plywood framework is made possible by paired ply numbers in one-sided bonding, which can lower the amount of glue required by up to 25%.
