The diagram shows us the process of match-making, with details of the stages and the equipment used.
First, logs are peeled into thin sheets of veneer using a peeler, which are then chopped into small pieces. These pieces are put intı a tank to get soaked in ammonium phosphate and later dried.
Next, the dried matchsticks are transported into a hopper for storage via a metal duct. From the hopper they are put onto a perforated steel belt. The belt moves the matchsticks through three different tanks: first, the paraffin wax tank, then the based chemicals tank, and finally, the tip chemicals tank for the match heads. After these treatments the matches are put into a drying area once more. Once dried they get transported to the packaging area, where they get packed for distribution.
