Line Production of Compressed Wood (MDF)

Abstract

According to the high prices of imported wood panels (which uses in furniture), the increasing of waste wood (which not being recycled properly ) and using unregularly ways of cutting trees annually to produce panels (which causes bad effect on environment), all these problems was a motivate to find some solutions such as building a local project produces wood panels can compete the global product in terms like quality and specifications.Thus, this project aims at designing a machine that works to produce a wood panels by recycling the waste of wood, with dimensions (2.44m long , 1.22m width , 0.016m thickness) standard , these panels are to be used in furniture production. The project also aims to reduce the large amount of imported wood panels and provides a large proportion of the human needs of the wood. The prototype contains a three main parts: mixer, hydraulic press and oven, with experiments as follows, adding the materials (waste wood and adhesive) to the mixer to be mixed and made it a flexible material, then the material obtained from the mixing process was pressed by a hydraulic press to get the final shape, and finally the panel was placed in the oven to make it a dried panel. Already A product has been produced.
