Developing Trends of Wood Veneer Based Panel Machines in China in 2022

As plywood machine manufacturer,today lets talk about the developing trends of plywood industry and plywood manufacturing machines industry in China in 2022

In China,the wood veneer based panel machines mainly refers to manufacturing machines such as plywood production machines,blockboard production machines etc.

In 2022,the plywood industry in China has seen a decline in the number of manufacturing factories and total production capacity, while the average production capacity of each factory has slightly increased.

There are many small and medium-sized plywood manufacturers in China, and this situation will exist for a long time in the future. As a result, most of plywood manufacturing factories in China mainly use single machines or sectional machines;

With the continuous development of the plywood industry in China, the number of large-scale factories continues to increase, and the demand for upgrading plywood making machines continues to increase, this will promote the technological progress and upgrading of plywood machines in China.

In 2022, there are more than 350 plywood manufacturers in China,the annual production capacity of more than 100,000 m3, including nearly 150 large-scale production companies and groups, with a total annual production capacity of nearly 27 million m3, accounting for approximately 13.0% of the total production capacity. ; Among them, 7 production companies and enterprise groups have an annual production capacity of more than 500,000 m3.

In 2022, in the main plywood production areas, the application of automated veneer production lines continues to expand; the demand for veneer dryers has increased significantly, and the proportion of natural drying has gradually decreased. Veneer dryer machines has attracted the attention of more and more veneer and plywood making companies. Machines for assembling the veneer to whole piece such as veneer assembly machine and veneer jointing machine are widely used; online veneer moisture content detectors are used in veneer grading; Technologies and machines for spindleless veneer peeling and peeling chips is further applied.The key to their promotion and application is to improve the utilization rate of wood logs. It has become a hot spot in plywood production machine; the application of intelligent warehousing systems in the storage of veneers and rough boards is gradually developing, and automatic guided transport vehicles are expected to enter the storage of veneers and rough boards; veneer glue spraying and atomized glue spraying technology and equipment, and automated blank assembly equipment have been promoted and applied in some production lines; Horizontal hot press machines with automatic board loading and unloading devices have been further expanded and the production efficiency is effectively improved; The increase in the number of layers of hot press machines has stimulated the development of and application of automatic loading and unloading devices; Automated sanding and sawing line is further applied

A total of 10 plywood production companies across the country are equipped with 8 horizontal hot press machine. The number of the layers of the hot press machine is 50, 80 etc, which marks the application of horizontal hot press machine with automatic loading and unloading devices expanding further.

In June 2022, the first board  from first production line of continuous formaldehyde-free plywood is completed, which marks a new stage of continuous attempts of producing plywood in China

With the development of plywood machine manufacturing industry in China, plywood machine manufacturing companies have also continued to grow and develop. In China,the plywood machine manufacturing companies are mainly private enterprises, accounting for more than 90% of the total number of enterprises. There are also a few state-owned enterprises, foreign-invested enterprises . The plywood machine manufacturing companies mainly supply sectional machines, only few factories supply complete sets of equipment. There is still a long way for the companies to develop bigger and stronger.
