Production
Hardel Plywood
is equipped with two COE-72 Jet Dryers heated by thermal fluid
from a Wellons 60 Million BTU Furnace. Both dryers have the latest
technology in drying with Sweed Auto Feeders and Delta-T drying
systems.
Hardel's veneer
preparation department includes 18 Skoog Veneer pluggers and a
10ft Hashimoto Veneer Composer. These give Hardel the ability
to produce and repair veneers up to 5x10 feet.
The layup
department consists of 3 presses, a 40 opening SparTek 4x8, a
Globe 30 opening 5x10 and a 20 opening 5x10 MDO Press. At this
time, we can produce over 600,000 ft 3/8 basis daily in panels
of any grade and thickness from 4x8 -5x10. In the near future
we will be adding an additional press along with an automated
layup line which will increase our flexibility and overall production.
Our panel
patching procedures allow Hardel to customize your order for it's
final application. We have the capability to use 2 component synthetic
patch material or repair with wood patches exclusively.
Hardel's finishing
department consists of 2 Globe saws capable of cutting finished
dimensions from 3x6 to 5x10. Our Globe specialty saw can texture
softwood or hardwood siding panels with groove patterns of 4",
4" kerf, 8" and 12" on center.
Our 3 sanders
give us flexibility to finish panels with smooth sand in sizes
from 4x8 to 5x10, and our hardwood sander can produce panels in
sizes 4x8 to 4x10.
Hardel's shipping
facility has onsite scales and a covered loading area. Hours of
