A system having a conveyor assembly, at least one scorching assembly, and a central controller. The conveyor assembly has a conveyor that effects movement of at least one board or panel relative to a movement axis. Each scorching assembly has a combustion chamber, at least one burner, and at least one processing unit. Each burner can be mounted to the combustion chamber and at least partially received within the combustion chamber. Each burner can be oriented toward the conveyor. The at least one processing unit can be communicatively coupled to the at least one burner and configured to selectively control activation and operation of the at least one burner. The central controller can be communicatively coupled to each processing unit of the at least one scorching assembly and configured to receive a user input corresponding to a scorching profile for the at least one board or panel.

Moisture resistant engineered hardwood veneer flooring

A spray system and method for selectively applying fluids onto workpieces traveling on a conveyor. A support frame proximate the conveyor supports plural platforms sequentially arranged in the direction of workpiece travel on the conveyor, each platform being above and extending across the conveyor width. Plural carriers are sequentially disposed on each platform across the conveyor width. Each carrier has a nozzle module connected to a source of fluid, a lateral drive enabling bi-directional movement of the carrier across the respective platform and a swing drive for rotating the nozzle module about a swing axis orthogonal to the direction of workpiece travel. A programmable controller coordinates the lateral and rotational orientation of nozzle modules of each carrier and the flow of fluid through the respective nozzle modules to achieve a desired pattern of fluid application onto workpieces traveling on the conveyor.

Automated paint spray system

A system and method for imparting a textured surface effect in a board. The system and method are configured to releasably secure a charge on a table; determine a random abrasion pattern for the charge with at least one programmable controller; and control at least one abrasion assembly with the at least one programmable controller in accord with the random abrasion pattern to selectively engage and remove desired portions of the upper surface of the charge with the at least one abrasion assembly to form a randomized textured surface effect thereon.
