Built for Consistent Productivity
Since 1953 Meinan has stood for innovation and process and efficiency improvement for those in the veneer and plywood production industry. Today Meinan is the standard for producing quality panels, boards and plywood from various raw materials – including the growing need to utilize small diameter logs of varying quality and random sized veneer strips.
The Meinan peeling line greatly enhances productivity through automation, including automatic stacking of full sheets according to moisture content. Random veneer strips are also automatically stacked. This eliminates repetitive, manual labor pulling veneer at the green chain.
In addition, the Meinan system requires less block conditioning, for added energy savings and production flexibility.
