 The production processes of Strand woven bamboo floor

²  Harvesting: Harvest bamboo culms

²  Cutting: cut culms into desired length

²  Splitting: split the cut culms into strips with width roughly equal.

²  Shredding: This shredding process breaks down the bamboo strips into strands, which are then cleaned and dried.

²  Boiling or carbonizing: The bamboo strands are boiled or steamed in oven with high pressure to remove the sugar and starch, kill any insect eggs, prevent from mold, get bamboo strand carbonized in need.

²  Drying: Dry to bamboo strand moisture content below 10%.

²  Soaking glue: Drop into the glue pool to get all bamboo strand soak glue properly.

²  Compressing: put glued bamboo strand into compressing machine. The compressing machine is with a pressure of 2800 tons and a pressure of 0.19Mpa/cm2, which ensures get density above 1150kg/m3. Under intense pressure, these strands are compressed tightly. To hot compressing method, compressing and heating are done in the same time to get strand bamboo boards. To cold compressing method, compressing first and then do curing in a kiln to harden the adhesive to get strand bamboo blocks.  

²  Trim off the rough edges, slice the block or cut the board to get desired bamboo floor raw blanks.

²  Then milling for tongue-groove or click-lock, sanding, coating finish, quality check, packing and delivery.
