- Abstract
Wood packaging crates having generally a single cycle of use must be cheap in order not to affect the price of the products it stores or transports. For this reason, manufacturing costs (materials, energy consumption and labour) should place the packaging cost at the maximum 5% of the price of the product stored or transported, or even less. For this reason, all the ideas related to manufacturing process that could affect the cost of packaging must be taken into account. A significant amount of labour is consumed in forming panels in the structure of the boxes which involves the consolidation of lamellas (piece by piece) with nails or staples on the reinforcement elements (wooden cross rails or frames). The paper aims to present technological improvements (with a different degree of mechanization) of the lamellar panels' industrial flow, which may decrease the labour consumption on the product and implicitly may influence the price of the product. These improvements may help the activity of this industrial sector to be profitable in valorisation the poor quality and small sized wood.
