The provided picture presents a detailed illustration of the way chipboard is made before being used to make furniture.
Overall, the process is mainly mechanical and consists of several steps, commencing with the preparation stage where wood is collected and treated and culminating at the production stage, which includes turning raw materials into chipboard before being manufactured further.
To begin with, trees are cut down and gathered by forestry workers, which are then trimmed into logs. These logs are subsequently converted into wood chips, using a wood-working machine. In the next steps, wood chips are dried by using both steam and hot air for a one-day and once dried, they are kept in a chamber for 1 to 4 weeks
In the second phase, the stored chips are with glue and wax in a mixing machine, after which the mixture is shaped in a mould. The shaped material is then pressed to produce chipboard. Finally, the chipboard is used in the manufacture of furniture such as tables or chairs
