Applications of Abrasives Products in Furniture Manufacturing Industry

Furniture is indispensable equipments to sustain survival and reproduction of humans, and wooden furniture is the mainstream products in the consumer market of furniture today, accounting for 60% of the total furniture. Whether board type furniture or solid wood furniture, the beautiful surface depends largely on the grinding quality of abrasives products. After sanding equipments, furniture also needs sanding paper for manually polishing the surface, to make it smooth and beautiful.

On the other hand, the grinding can save timber, and make great contribution. According to the results of the investigation of the 500 furniture companies conducted by the international furniture group in southeast Asia, there are three important factors that affect the percentage of outturn. The first factor is laying-off, and the second is the grinding whose proportion of waste material has accounted for 35% of the total loss.

Therefore, we can know that the grinding is not only related with the quality problem, it also directly affects the cost of products. If the methods and management are proper, companies can save at least 5% of the cost. Therefore, wood furniture production enterprises all attach great importance to the grinding process, and it is also completely necessary and a must to do.

In furniture enterprises, the workload and staff are concentrated in the grinding workshop, and most of the problems are also from the grinding workshop. Due to the particularity and differences of the material itself, the shape and model aspects of the processed parts also have big difference. Furniture not only needs to be cut and then use sanding equipments for processing, but also needs repeatedly manual grinding in order to improve the quality. In addition to increasing production capacity and coping with the demand of furniture industry, abrasives enterprises shall further strengthen quality control, improve the overall quality level of abrasives industries, and provide better technical service for the upstream and downstream industry enterprises.
