Application of Apple pruning on particleboard manufacturing

The effect of Apple pruning wood particles in mixed with industrial wood particles for particleboard manufacturing was studied. One layer laboratory panels with density of 0.6 gr/cm3 with two variables amount of Apple pruning wood particles content (0/100, 15/85, 30/70, 45/55 percent weight of Apple...

Description
Summary:The effect of Apple pruning wood particles in mixed with industrial wood particles for particleboard manufacturing was studied. One layer laboratory panels with density of 0.6 gr/cm3 with two variables amount of Apple pruning wood particles content (0/100, 15/85, 30/70, 45/55 percent weight of Apple pruning particles/wood particles) and a press time of 5 and 7 min were produced. The physical and mechanical properties of panels were measured. The results showed that the amount of Apple pruning wood particle had significant influence on the most physical and mechanical properties of panels such as MOR, MOE, IB, TS and WA while they were improved as the Apple pruning wood particles increased. The results also indicated that press time had significant influence on the IB and TS of panels and they were increased as the press time increased.
