Wood Pallet Hydraulic Press Against the Wage Curve: Running a Pallet Plant on Cycles Instead of Headcount
A pallet plant that cannot staff its nailing benches stops growing. This page follows that problem onto a wood pallet hydraulic press, where a Y32 three-beam four-column machine at 1250 to 2500 ton forms one finished pallet per cycle with no nailing stage and no manual board sorting, and where semi-automatic and automatic line tiers sit on one process platform. The boundary is stated plainly: crushing to about 5 mm, drying to 8 to 12 percent moisture and even MDI adhesive mixing have to be in place before the press forms anything, and the press is not sold as a stand-alone machine.
