Its invention can be traced back to 3000 BC. At the beginning of the 1st century BC, the Romans were already familiar with veneer manufacturing technology and plywood manufacturing principles.
The French invented the veneer sawing machine in 1812.
In 1834, France issued a patent for a planing machine.
After 1844, the improved rotary cutting machine was officially used in industrial production. Since then, the rotary cutting machine has been continuously improved, promoting the development of the plywood industry. In the middle of the 19th century, Germany first established a plywood factory. In 1898, the United Kingdom first manufactured semi-rigid fiberboard on a rotary screen paper machine.
In 1914, the United States used groundwood pulp scraps to produce insulating boards and built an insulating fiberboard factory.
In 1916, the dry forming process first appeared in Austria.
In 1924, the United States created the massonette method (blasting method) fiber separation technology, and in 1928 it was able to produce high-quality hard fiberboards.
The Asplund process was invented in Sweden in 1931, and the first hardboard factory produced using this method was established in Sweden the following year. At this point, the fiberboard manufacturing industry became independent from the paper industry. Industrial categories.
In 1943, the United States successfully studied dry and semi-dry manufacturing processes. In the early 1950s, factories were built in the United States, the Federal Republic of Germany, Czechoslovakia, and Austria to produce hardboard using the above two methods.
In the early 1960s, medium-density fiberboard was made based on the dry production process. In 1966, the first medium-density fiberboard factory was built in the United States. In 1887, Germany used sawdust and blood glue to make boards, which was the beginning of particleboard.
In 1889, Germany obtained its first patent for using woodworking shavings to make particleboard. The emergence of synthetic resin adhesives in the early 20th century prepared the conditions for the industrial production of particleboards.
In 1935, France used waste veneer to make long strips of shavings. During the paving process, the layers of shavings were arranged vertically to form a slab, which was the pioneer of directional technology in particleboards. In 1937, Switzerland proposed a three-layer shaving structure. manufacturing process.
The establishment of the first fully equipped particleboard factory in Germany in 1941 enabled the particleboard industry to complete its technical preparation stage.
In the late 1940s, as the United Kingdom and Germany developed the Badlev method and the Okar method for continuous production of particleboard respectively, and made corresponding complete sets of continuous production equipment, particleboard production entered the industrial system. .
