The raw materials consist of two main categories, combining the strengths of both.

1.  Bamboo Component:

      Forms: Processed into bamboo curtains, bamboo mats, or bamboo strips. Bamboo curtains are made by weaving split bamboo slivers with nylon or cotton thread. These form the face/back layers and/or core, providing high strength and hardness.

      Common Species: Moso bamboo, Mao bamboo.

2.  Wood Component:

      Forms: Typically rotary-cut wood veneers, used as the core layer or back veneer.

     Common Species: Poplar, Eucalyptus, Pine, etc., offering good workability and cost-effectiveness.

3.  Adhesive:

      Phenolic resin, Urea-Formaldehyde resin, or Melamine-Urea-Formaldehyde resin are used based on product requirements.

The process involves parallel preparation of bamboo and wood, culminating in composite pressing.

1.  Bamboo Processing Line: Log cutting → Splitting → Knot removal → Planing → Weaving (into curtains/mats) → Drying.

2.  Wood Processing Line: Peeling (into veneers) → Drying.

3.  Composite & Pressing Line: Glue spreading → Layup (e.g., Bamboo curtain + Wood veneer core + Bamboo curtain) → Pre-pressing → Hot Pressing (key step) → Post-processing (cooling, sanding, trimming).

1. In the field of architecture and decoration:

High-end building formwork: With its high strength, high reusability and excellent demolding performance, it becomes an ideal formwork material for high-end exposed concrete buildings.

Interior and exterior decoration: Used for wall panels, partitions, ceilings, etc., the unique bamboo pattern brings a natural aesthetic effect.

Floor base material: As the base material for composite flooring, it has excellent dimensional stability.

2. Furniture and Home Decor:

High-end furniture: Used for manufacturing tabletops, cabinet bodies, chairs and stools, it is both sturdy and aesthetically pleasing.

Countertops and bathroom cabinets: Have superior moisture resistance compared to ordinary wood.

3. In the transportation sector:

Truck and bus floors, as well as container floors: Extremely high wear resistance and load-bearing capacity.

   nterior panels for ships.

4. In other industrial fields: Packaging box boards (especially for heavy equipment packaging).

The entire line can be divided into four modules: 1. Bamboo Processing Equipment; 2. Wood Processing Equipment; 3. Gluing & Layup Equipment; 4. Pressing & Finishing Equipment.

Module 1: Bamboo Processing Equipment

This is the core section that differentiates it from ordinary plywood lines, designed to process round bamboo poles into standardized curtains/mats.

1.  Bamboo Cross-Cut Saw: Precisely cuts long bamboo poles into required process lengths.

2.  Bamboo Splitter: Splits the bamboo sections radially into strips of equal width.

3.  Bamboo Knot Remover/Planer: Removes internal and external bamboo nodes and planes the strips into slivers with uniform thickness and smooth surfaces.

4.  Bamboo Curtain/Mat Weaving Machine: Automatically weaves the processed bamboo slivers into curtain or mat forms using nylon thread.

5.  Bamboo Dryer: Typically a Mesh Belt Dryer, reduces the moisture content of the woven curtains/mats to the optimal level (8%-12%) for hot pressing, preventing deformation.

Module 2: Wood Processing Equipment

This section is similar to standard plywood lines, producing wood veneer for the core layer.

1.  Log Debarker: Removes bark from logs.

2.  Peeling Lathe: Peels debarked logs into continuous, uniform-thickness wood veneers. High-precision CNC lathes are required.

3.  Veneer Dryer: Commonly a Roller Dryer, rapidly dries wood veneers using hot air.

4.  Veneer Clipper & Patching Machine: Cuts dried veneers to size and automatically patches defects to improve yield.

Module 3: Gluing & Layup Equipment

This module integrates the bamboo and wood materials for pressing.

1.  Glue Mixing & Supply System: Continuously and automatically prepares and supplies adhesive.

2.  Dual-Purpose Glue Spreader: Applies adhesive evenly to both wood veneers and bamboo curtains/mats. Dipping machines or special spreaders ensure glue penetrates the curtain mesh.

3.  Composite Layup Line: Automatically assembles the glued materials into a mat according to a preset structure (e.g., Bamboo Face + Wood Veneer Core + Bamboo Back).

4.  Pre-Press: Applies cold pressure to the mat for initial bonding strength, facilitating safe transfer to the hot press.

Module 4: Pressing & Finishing Equipment

This module gives the panel its final properties and dimensions.

1. Hot Press (Core Equipment)-Continuous Press:

The most advanced option. The mat enters continuously, is pressed and cured between heated steel belts while moving. Offers high output, superior surface flatness, precise thickness control, and energy efficiency.

2.  Cooling & Turning Stacker: Cools the hot panels and stacks them neatly to release internal stress.

3.  Calibrating Sander: A heavy-duty wide-belt sander that sands panels to a consistent thickness and smooth surface.

4.  Cross-Cut & Rip Saws: CNC-controlled saws that trim panels to the final customer dimensions with high precision.

5.  Central Control System: The "brain" of the line. Monitors and controls all equipment parameters from a central control room for intelligent, stable production.

I. What is a Continuous Press?

It is a state-of-the-art hot press that operates uninterruptedly. The mat enters at one end, is carried through a pressurized heating zone by endless steel belts, cures while moving, and exits as a continuous panel at the other end.

II. Working Principle

1.  Feeding: The pre-pressed mat is fed continuously into the press.

2.  Steel Belt Conveyance: Two aligned, heat-resistant steel belts carry the mat forward.

3.  Pressing & Heating: The mat passes through pressure zones (e.g., inlet, main heating, venting, calibration, outlet) with specific temperature/pressure profiles, ensuring gradual compression and complete resin curing.

4.  Output & Sawing: The continuous panel is automatically cut to length by an online flying saw.

III. Core Advantages

1.  Very High Production Efficiency: No cycle time loss, ideal for mass production.

2.  Superior Product Quality:

      Extremely precise thickness tolerance.

      Perfectly flat surfaces (minimized stress marks).

      Excellent physical properties.

3.  Significant Energy Savings: High thermal efficiency (20%-30% savings vs. multi-opening presses). Potential resin savings.

4.  High Automation & Intelligence: Computer-controlled for stable, consistent quality with minimal labor.

IV. Comparison: Continuous Press vs. Multi-Opening Press

The continuous press is the premier choice for large-scale, modern, high-quality bamboo-wood composite plywood production, essential for industry upgrading and capturing the high-end market.
