The diagram describes the linear process of using wood to produce chipboard which are then used for creating furniture.
From an overall perspective, the process includes nine distinct steps and is divided into two main stages, consisting of preparation and production. It commences with harvesting trees and ends with finished furniture pieces.
Starting with the preparation stage, trees are first chopped down and harvested, after which they are trimmed to create uniform logs, which are subsequently directed into a specialised machine to transform them into small wood chips. After that, the wood chips are put in a drying machine to remove the remaining moisture from them with hot air for a whole day. The last step of this stage is that the dried wood chips are stored in a specific container from one to two weeks.
Moving on to the production stage, the stored wood chips are blended with a special mixture of adhesive glue and wax to create biding mixture in a mixing machine, followed by putting the biding mixture in rectangular moulds for shaping. Subsequently, the materials are pressed into flat chipboard panels, which are ultimately used to manufacture numerous furniture items such as tables and chairs.
