Ply | is strong panelling, varying in thickness, consisting of two or more plies of veneer alternating in grain direction, which are glued and pressed together |
Work order is to include: | instructions for the receipt/despatch and assembling of ply from veneer to pressing and to/from the designated storage location or processing and may include: type size thickness quantity instructions for the environmental monitoring of work and procedures environmental care requirements relevant to the work |
Appropriate personnel may include: | supervisors suppliers clients colleagues managers |
Equipment is to include: | ply assembly tables with glue spreading stations and may include: lifting equipment |
Production process is to include: | the glue mix used to bond sheets of veneer alternating in grain direction (to provide strength and rigidity) to form varying thickness sheets of plywood with a varying number of layers of veneer, before pressing use of a higher grade veneer on outer surfaces |
Communication may include: | verbal and non-verbal language constructive feedback active listening questioning to clarify and confirm understanding use of positive, confident and cooperative language use of language and concepts appropriate to individual social and cultural differences control of tone of voice body language |
Pre start-up checks | are conducted to ensure: machine has been set-up correctly systems are performing accurately machinery is operating to optimum performance |
Spreader stations | are the booms which pour and spread the glue mix onto the veneer sheeting |
Glue feed, spread and tack levels | glue feed is the feed rate at which an amount of glue is transferred to the veneer sheet spread is the coverage of glue over the veneer sheet area tack level is the required degree of stickiness (governed by weather conditions) for the glue to assure a successful bond |
Veneer | is the thin sheet of timber (varying in thickness to suit organisational or customer specifications) used to produce the layers of plywood types are usually referred to as quarter sawn, back sawn and radial (or rotary) sawn |
Pressing | is the process of securing the bond by placing the assembled ply sheeting in a large pressing machine to remove any air pockets or other abnormalities |
Records and reports may include: | product type size inspection grading and labelling outcomes storage locations quality outcomes hazards incidents equipment malfunctions and may be: manually using a computer-based system or another appropriate organisational communication system |
Grading | is the process of visually inspecting plywood to classify its quality and use after assembly has taken effect and to ensure the bonding process has been successful |
Movement of material may include: | the use of: conveyor belt systems track systems lifting equipment such as: fork lifts slings trolley jacks gantry cranes loaders assistance with lifting such as: the involvement of two or more personnel to lift materials manually or to guide the movement of mechanical equipment |
Storage may include: | the use of: storage racks storage bays bins stacks pallet boxes modularised storage components temporary stacking bays (stand, frame or ground) and may be divided into: standard product classification product designation size dimension stack number weight grade shelf life stock rotation position |
