The diagram delineates the process of how chipboards, used for making furniture, are made from wood.
Generally, two major stages are illustrated in the diagram ( preparation and production), revealing steps from collecting woods to manufacturing a complete furniture. Apparently, the original materials used for making chipboards comprise not solely woods but a combination of woods and other substances such as glue and wax being pressed together to turn into the final result.
In the preparation stage, trees are being cut down and trimmed into even logs before being put in a machine which will crush them into wood chips with diminutive size. Subsequently, these tiny wooden pieces will be going to the drying process in which they will be dried by a steamer for 24 hours straight to get rid of all the humidity by discharging the hot air through a pipe connected to the mechanic. This step will guarantee that the later result will have a better quality with longer ” life span”.
Wood chips are then stored for one to four weeks before moving to the production stage. To create a chipboard, glue and wax are added to create a texture which later on will play as an element which creates adhesion for the texture to be moulded and pressed to result in the final chipboards used for making furniture such as tables and chairs.
