Plywood is a highly competitive industry with many manufacturers bringing their innovations and new range for their target customers. As the modern construction industry is going through major paradigm shifts, the manufacturers that can match these shifting demands dominate the market. Hardwood plywood is widely used across various applications because of its high strength and superior durability. The fibres of this wood have high density, due to which it is able to resist various forces and damaging elements. Shree Ram Steel Industries (Grassim Ritzy Ply) is one of the top hardwood plywood manufacturers with a well-established distribution network across the country and beyond the borders. Being the leading manufacturer, we fulfil some of the fundamental requirements as well as use our own vision and expertise for quality assurance of our hardwood plywood.
Using Advanced Technologies to Enhance Material Properties
The sourcing of hardwood is essential for any of the top hardwood plywood manufacturers. But that is only the earlier steps of the entire process. The standard process involves peeling the log into thin veneer, drying, glueing in cross-grain direction, pressing under high pressure, trimming and sanding and giving finishing touches. In this process, the manufacturers use technologies such as High-Tensile reinforcement (HTR), Vacuum Pressure Treatment (VPT), water-proof and fire-resistant coatings.
In HTR technology, the veneer layers are reinforced with high-strength fibres. The resulting wood has better impact resistance, stiffness, and is also lightweight. VPT technology creates a vacuum between the pores of the wood by removing air as the veneer layers are kept inside the treatment chamber. Preservatives like anti-fungal, anti-microbial chemicals are poured into the pores. For adhesion of veneer layers, fortified phenolic formaldehyde resin is used, in which additional chemicals are added for a faster curing process and to improve resin performance.
Surpassing Standard Requirements
Another key aspect of plywood manufacturing is compliance with the standards set by relevant authorities. For example, the Indian Standards for marine grade is IS:710, for film-faced shuttering plywood is IS: 4990, and for fortified PF resin it is IS: 848:1974. As per their guidelines, the top hardwood plywood manufacturers are expected to make plywood that has better value of strength and resistance properties. The brands that exceed the desired value of various standard parameters are often trusted by customers.
Providing Workforce With Best Machines
A well-functioning manufacturing unit with advanced machines makes the job easy for the engineers and workers. Some of the major names in the entire machinery are the hydraulic press, CNC cutting, glue coating machine, edge sawing, sanding and conveyor belt. The top hardwood plywood manufacturers like Grassim Ritzy Ply use machines that are regarded as the best in the country.
Conclusion
Hardwood plywood is highly preferred in various applications that have challenging conditions due to its density and inherent resistance, and strength. However, it requires additional processing and treatment work to make it reliable in the outdoors or high-moisture conditions. We at Grassim Ritzy Ply have recruited top professionals and experts in the field of plywood manufacturing and equipped them with the best machines for the streamlined production process. If you are looking for the top hardwood plywood manufacturers, we are your best choice.
