Plywood is a constructional material consisting of veneers bonded with an adhesive. Briefly, there are two types of plywood products including softwood and hardwood. Softwood plywood is produced by a multiple layers of dry softwood veneers together with an adhesive, which is utilized for wall sliding, decking, floors and shipping containers. Hardwood plywood is typically made of hardwood veneers, in particularly, the face and back layers are typically made of medium density fiberboard and particleboard, which is used for interior applications such as furniture, cabinets, paneling and floor

The manufacture of plywood involves an essential step as the drying process. After the initial step of debarking, the timber are heated to improve better cutting surface, There are a multiple of drying approached including hot air, steam, hot water bath, hot water spray and microwave drying solution. In addition, the slicing veneer moisture content is up to 25 percentages, the desired moisture content is the range from 2 to 15 percentages. Also, we need check with veneer moisture against the target moisture content, RF (Radio frequency like microwave) dryer may be used for reheating veneer product to achieve the accurate moisture content.

All above drying solutions, we could use microwave technology to replace conventional drying method as microwave fast work the water cellular. In contrast to conventional drying solution, microwave could significantly minimize 1/3 energy consumption. There are some main advantages of industrial microwave dryer.1 microwave plywood dryer is an environment friendly machine without pollution and dust.2.microwave directly work on the board without wood panel cupping, bonding and other deformation. 3. Operator could precisely control the power use and temperature range to accurately dry wood moisture.4. Microwave machine could uniformly dry the hardwood products gain a quality material

Except for drying plywood, microwave dryer also could dry log, timber, engineered wood, hard floor wood, soft floor wood and other kinds of wood and bamboo products. Reducing energy consumption and improve wood quality is MAX Industrial Microwave goal.
