A Guided Tour of Unadilla Laminated Products (Part 6)
The Planer
After your beams have cured overnight, we send them through a large planer to smooth the sides and remove any glue that has squeezed out and dried. This photo shows the outfeed side of the planer. The material stacked along side of it has been planed and will soon be sent to the finishing department. The glue room, finishing and loading areas are connected via an overhead hoist system, so the beams will be lifted to finishing.
