So, what is a veneer? A veneer is strictly a skin of wood, usually taken thin as paper. Commonly used to as veneer on a surface looking like expensive wood. Veneers are a decorative wood layer that many different types of furniture include to give the look and feel without using all solid wood. This is what gives your furniture that polished and sophisticated look.
You see, drying is everything if you want a beautiful face veneer. If the veneer is not properly dried, this can result in a deforming or cracking of the veneer such that it eventually falls off your furniture completely. This is where the veneer dryer hot press helps you survive!
The hot press is loaded with the veneer. The hot plates then are brought on top and cause it to pinch together. By pressing and heating, the moisture is extracted uniformly out from the veneer. This iscrucial since if one part dries faster than the other this might cause issues at a later time.
Many times, air or kiln dried veneers will be weak and brittle causing them to crack, check & warp over time. But a hot press can accomplish the same thing in literally seconds since it dehydrates and applies rapid heat to veneer under highly-controlled conditions. It also dries carefully in an attempt to prevent these problems which can be the result of humid enclosures, thus ensuring increased longevity for any furniture used.
The Veneer Dryer Hot Press press is manufactured by a quality heavy duty cylinder with versatile materials that can be effortlessly used. That is the reason why it can be used in an application like continuous processing of dried veneers (things you would never stop and do unless you officially stopped building furniture).
The ideal hot press for drying veneer is designed to apply even heating across the entirety of one panel. Everything is dried exactly the same way for each piece of veneer making the end result uniform and absolutely beautiful. By drying one section quicker than the other you can end up with an inconsistent looking surface in general which is not what we are attempting.
Press can slow down the temperature to create a dried veneer that fits your style. Since different woods require more moisture to achieve the best finish than others. If you alter the temperature, that heat-transfer will have consequences on all senses: It affects how a veneer looks and feels, as well.
