After the wood veneer is cut from the logs, it cannot be used immediately.
The newly produced exotic wood veneer usually contains a high amount of moisture and needs to be dried.
The purpose of drying is not only to 'remove moisture', but more importantly, to provide stable moisture content and size for the veneer.
If the drying is uneven, it may result in:
1.Wood face veneer warping
2.crack
3.embrittlement
4.Color change
5.Inconsistent moisture content
6.Subsequent bonding is unstable
Shine Machinery referred to veneer drying as a key control step in the production of plywood and wood-based materials in industry news for 2026, and continues to introduce new veneer drying technologies. Its latest technological directions include real-time moisture detection, temperature monitoring, and more precise drying control.
Therefore, high-quality veneer depends not only on the original wood itself, but also on the drying technology.
