Industrial Performance of Powered Back-Up Roll for Peeling Veneer.

Abstract

Veneer log spin-out has been a continuing problem in the plywood industry, contributing to increased timber consumption and higher costs. To alleviate this problem, a laboratory prototype powered back-up roll (PBR) was designed and built by the Forest Products Laboratory. Because of satisfactory laboratory performance, a commercial model of the Forest Products Laboratory (FPL) PBR was installed in Boise Cascade's Yakima plywood plant. Operating under actual plant conditions, the PBR has significantly reduced spin-outs. It has not interferred with the normal veneer peeling operation, and has been well received by plant personnel. The payback period is estimated as less than 1 year. (Author)
