Material condition before pallet pressing
Use the documented molding moisture range
For the documented AutoML molded-pallet process, material at molding is specified at 6–10% moisture. The material condition must be reviewed with the full preparation, drying and forming configuration.
Confirm the material size before forming
The same record specifies material length of 5–30 mm and thickness of 2–5 mm. Material preparation must be considered together with the molding step.
Treat drying as part of the production line
The documented process includes preparation and drying before mixing, spreading and hot pressing. The appropriate equipment boundary depends on the actual feedstock and factory conditions.
Bring the material facts to technical review
A useful review starts with the material type and condition, required pallet format, required output, building envelope and available utilities. Those inputs define the preparation and line configuration.
- Material type and measured condition
- Material length of 5–30 mm and thickness of 2–5 mm
- Target pallet format and required output
- Available building envelope and utilities
