A method of manufacturing engineered wood is provided, the method including: feeding wood through a processor while exposing the wood to compressive and tensile forces to produce naturally oriented strands of fibers; adding an adhesive to naturally oriented strands of fibers to provide adhesive covered strands; feeding the adhesive covered strands into a press; applying a first pressure to the adhesive covered strands to provide a pressed wood with a selected first dimension and a selected second dimension; and applying a second pressure normal to the first pressure to the pressed wood to provide an engineered wood having the selected first dimension, the selected second dimension and a selected third dimension and a selected density. An installation for manufacturing the engineered wood is also provided.
A mechanical fiber processor for producing naturally oriented strands of fibers from timber, the mechanical fiber processor including:
A method of processing wood to produce strands of fibers having a parallel orientation, the method comprising feeding the wood through a processor with a plurality of knurled motive rollers and a plurality of circumferentially grooved separating rollers, while exposing the wood to compressive and tensile forces, and a non-stranded wood falling through a chute which is between the plurality of circumferentially grooved separating rollers, thereby processing wood to produce strands of fibers having a parallel orientation.
