ABSTRACT:
A system (10) for processing veneer is provided. The system (10) includes a compression apparatus (12) having a first set of rollers (20) turning at a first rate and has a first clearance (96) therebetween, and a second set of rollers (22) turning at a second rate and has a second clearance (98) therebetween. The first and second roller rates are substantially equal. The system also includes a feeder (16). The feeder (16) includes a hopper (62) for holding a plurality of veneer slats (82) and a feeder mechanism for feeding the slats one at a time into the compression apparatus. The system may have a first drive mechanism (14) for turning the first (20) and second (22) rollers and a second drive mechanism for driving the feeder mechanism. Moisture is removed from a veneer slat (92) by feeding the veneer slat (92) into the first turning roller set (20) and compressing the veneer slat (92) to the first clearance (96) in the first roller set and into the second turning roller set (22) and compressing the veneer slat (92) to the second clearance (98) in the second roller set (22).
