A dehydration system 1a includes: a first clamping member 101 including a first heating plate 101a capable of generating heat; a second clamping member 102 including a second heating plate 102b capable of generating heat; a drive unit 4 capable of causing a pressing mechanism to press at least one of the first clamping member 101 and the second clamping member 102; a heating unit 3 capable of heating the first heating plate 101a and the second heating plate 102a; and a control unit 2a that, during the dehydration process, controls the drive unit 4 so that the veneer is pressed by the first clamping member 101 and the second clamping member 102 and controls the heating unit 3 so that the temperature of the first heating plate 101a is lower than the temperature of the second heating plate 102a. By way of this preliminary amendment, claims 1, 3-6, 9, and 10 have been amended for conformity with the allowed claims of JP application no. 2024-541110, claim 2 has been canceled without prejudice, and new claim 11 has been added. An English translation of the international patent application, as filed, is submitted herewith. The amendments noted above are made with respect to that translation. No new matter has been added. The Commissioner is hereby authorized to refund any overpayment and charge any deficiency in the amount paid in connection with this paper or any additional fees which may be required during the pendency of this application under 37 CFR 1.16 or 1.17 to Deposit Account No. 50-2455.
A veneer processing system, comprising:
A method for dehydrating a veneer using a dehydration system including a first clamping member including a first heating plate that is a heating plate capable of generating heat, a second clamping member including a second heating plate that is a heating plate capable of generating heat, a drive unit capable of causing a pressing mechanism to press at least one of the first clamping member and the second clamping member, and a heating unit capable of heating the first heating plate and the second heating plate, the veneer dehydration method comprising:
A method for processing a veneer using a veneer processing system including a dehydration system including a first clamping member including a first heating plate that is a heating plate capable of generating heat, a second clamping member including a second heating plate that is a heating plate capable of generating heat, a drive unit capable of causing a pressing mechanism to press at least one of the first clamping member and the second clamping member, and a heating unit capable of heating the first heating plate and the second heating plate and a drying system including a first drying side clamping member including a first drying side heating plate that is a heating plate capable of generating heat, a second drying side clamping member including a second drying side heating plate that is a heating plate capable of generating heat, a drying side drive unit capable of causing a pressing mechanism to press at least one of the first drying side clamping member and the second drying side clamping member, and a drying side heating unit capable of heating the first drying side heating plate and the second drying side heating plate, the veneer processing method comprising:
