Plywood vs OSB is a decision about edges, not faces. Both are processed wood and both sit outside ISPM 15 treatment, so compliance does not separate them — how each panel behaves where a buckle or a steel edge grips it does.
A plywood grade label mostly describes the face veneer. For an export crate the properties that decide whether the box survives the journey are bond class, thickness tolerance, panel build and edge behaviour — none of which the face grade tells you.
The DA-8000 is specified for plywood from 5 mm to 12 mm. What changes across that range, and what to tell a machine supplier before you order.
Every figure is one the manufacturer publishes for the machine it describes. Where a question depends on data we do not publish — competitor equipment or comparative test results, for example — the article says so instead of estimating.
They set out the criteria and the published machine limits: plywood from 5–12 mm on the buckle machine, fastening at 30–60 per minute to a 9,000 mm assembly length, and press force from 40 to 100 tons across the press series. Send your box size range and panel thickness and we will confirm a configuration.
The right thickness depends on the load and the panel span, not on a single rule. Our published specification covers plywood from 5 mm to 12 mm on the buckle machine. Tell us what the box carries and we can work from there.
No. We publish specifications for our own equipment and criteria for choosing between methods. We do not publish performance figures for equipment we do not manufacture or test.
Box sizes, panel thickness and the production stages you need are enough for us to come back with a configuration and a written quotation.
