Melamine plywood has become the mainstream choice for furniture manufacturing and commercial decoration due to its core advantages of wear resistance, moisture resistance, and stable appearance. The foundation of its quality lies in every meticulously refined production step—from raw timber selection to finished product packaging. Precise control over each process parameter directly determines the board's environmental rating, service life, and visual texture. Below is a detailed breakdown of the complete manufacturing process from raw timber to finished product.
Material Selection & Pretreatment:Raw material is the first line of defense for quality. We prioritize high-quality logs such as poplar and pine certified by FSC, which have uniform texture and moderate density, reducing the risk of board deformation in the later stage. After peeling by an automatic peeling machine, the logs are cut into wood chips with a thickness error of ≤0.2mm by a precision veneer lathe. Then, each batch is tested by a high-frequency moisture tester to ensure the initial moisture content is stabilized at the baseline range of 12%-15%. Meanwhile, eco-friendly E0/E1 grade urea-formaldehyde resin adhesive (formaldehyde emission ≤0.124mg/m³) and imported melamine-impregnated decorative paper (grammage ≥80g/㎡) are prepared to eliminate quality hazards caused by inferior raw materials from the source.
Glue Impregnation & Drying:This step is crucial for improving the weather resistance of the board. The pretreated wood chips are sent to a constant temperature special glue tank at 40-45℃, and the melamine resin adhesive is fully infiltrated for more than 15 minutes using the "vacuum pressure" process, ensuring that the glue penetrates deeply into the wood fibers to form a stable bonding layer. The glued wood chips are first drained three times at a 30-degree inclination to remove excess glue on the surface (glue content controlled at 12%-14%), then enter a segmented drying kiln. Through stepped drying of "low-temperature pre-drying (65℃) → high-temperature setting (80℃) → cooling balance (50℃)", the moisture content of the base material is finally accurately controlled at 8%-10%, matching the humidity of the daily use environment and reducing cracking and deformation in the later stage.
Blanking & Hot Pressing:Blanking follows the "symmetry principle". In a dust-free workshop with a constant temperature of 25℃, the structure is accurately stacked in the order of "decorative paper (front) → glued wood chips (texture staggered and superimposed) → balance paper (back)". The alignment deviation between layers is strictly controlled within 1mm to avoid uneven stress on the board. It is then sent to an automatic double steel belt press, and under the environment of 145-150℃ high temperature and 25-28 MPa high pressure, the pressure is maintained according to the standard of "50 seconds per mm board thickness" (e.g., 18mm thick board is pressed for 900 seconds) to fully cure the glue. After hot pressing, it is immediately transferred to a cold press and kept at room temperature for 10 minutes to set, quickly stabilizing the internal stress of the board.
Cutting & Quality Inspection:The shaped boards are precisely cut at the edges by a CNC board cutting machine, with a cutting accuracy of ±0.5mm. A waste recycling system is also equipped to realize the recycling of raw materials. The quality inspection link implements the "twelve-item full inspection standard", including: surface adhesion test (no peeling in cross-cut test), flatness test (deviation ≤0.3mm/m), formaldehyde emission test (determined by climate chamber method, in line with GB 18580-2017 standard), wear resistance test (≥400 revolutions without bottom exposure), etc. Qualified products are individually wrapped with PE moisture-proof film, and labels are attached to indicate environmental protection level, specifications, batch number and production date, ensuring that each batch of products is traceable.
