Abstract
A system of drying veneer sheets for manufacturing wood products such as plywood, measures the moisture content of the sheets and controls drying to a predetermined moisture content. By drying veneer sheets to the predetermined moisture content, avoids excessive drying to ensure all sheets are below the 11% moisture content level. A process of drying comprises incising a veneer sheet, sensing the moisture content of the incised veneer sheet, steam drying the sheet under pressure and controlling the drying based on the sensed moisture content of the veneer sheet, to dry the sheet to the predetermined moisture content.
