WEEGO EXPORT-IMPORT JSC. would like to thank you for your interest in our plywood. We regard you as a potential and valued customer, and would like to have the honor to cooperate with you for the upcoming order as well as in the long term.
Kindly find the comprehensive information of our products and services below:
First of all, the raw material (wood log) will be selected and stored at our factory/workshop. The raw material standards can differ between types of wood, but normally we choose the logs of maximum 1.3m in length and minimum 10cm in diameter.
Raw material storage
Then, we use a veneer lathe to peel the logs, in which way the wood is compressed with a nose bar while the veneer knife cuts the blocks into veneers that are typically 1.7mm thick. The first bit of the veneer which includes lumber bark shall be cut off. The veneer pieces are then clipped to a usable width, typically 640m or as request, for shrinkage and trim.

The veneers are now put outside in sun shade for about a day to increase their flexibility
Veneers put out in a cool day
The veneers are then dried to a certain moisture content of below 12%. Thanks to the gifted tropical weather, our veneers are normally dried naturally under the sun for 1 or 2 days until their moisture reaches the right level. However, during the rain season, we use driers/kilns to dry our veneers quicker (1.5 days) and guarantee the right moisture content for our final goods.
Natural and kiln-dried veneers
When the veneers have been dried, checked and divided into different quality types, they will go through a glue spreading machine so a specific kind glue can be covered all over the veneers’ surface.
Veneers arranged and glue spreaded
Veneers now are laid up on a conveyor to form the required thickness of plywood pressed later on.

Cold press: The veneers are pressed to shape the bond in the layers of the board

Our workers now will check the plywood core to see if veneers are properly glued and surface is perfectly flat, they will handle the defects before putting the core into the hot press machine

The laid-up assembly of veneers then is sent to a hot press in which it is consolidated under heat and pressure. Hot pressing has two main objectives: (1) to press the glue into a thin layer over each sheet of veneer; and (2) to activate the thermosetting resins. The time and temperature vary depending on the wood, resin types and customers’ requests.
A hot press machine
We now let out the plywood core for cooling down, check the surface and handle defects. After 1-2 days, we sand the surface of the board with a sanding machine and cover it with the face veneer as requested by our customers (Bintangor, Okoume, etc.)

The boards are hot pressed for the second time to ensure the stickiness between the core and the face. And to form the finished plywood board, the edges shall be trimmed so the boards have the right size as required.

Now the finished goods are stored in our warehouse and packed before delivery.
