Composition Method Of Oak Pallets

The composition method of oak pallets mainly includes the following steps:

Material selection: First, select high-quality oak as raw material. Oak is widely used to make oak pallets because of its fine texture, waterproofness and special aroma. European oak with a tree age of 150-250 years is usually used. This wood has high strength and durability.

Cutting: After selecting the wood, it is precisely cut. Oak is usually split according to the grain, extending outward from the annual ring as the center point, removing the epidermis and wood core, and then using laser control to accurately cut into barrel boards. The cut wood needs to be placed outdoors for 2-3 years to remove the green tannins and evenly receive the baptism of sunlight and wind and rain.

Drying: The cut wood needs to be placed outdoors for 2-3 years to remove the green tannins of the wood. Workers will also turn each wood board over every year to allow it to evenly receive the baptism of sunlight and wind and rain.

‌Barrel hooping‌: Arrange the dried wooden boards according to the design requirements, and put the barrel hoop on one end to preliminarily shape the wooden boards. Then the oak boards are usually baked, and the inner and outer walls of the barrel are sprayed with water mist to increase the flexibility of the shape. Then bend and shape the other end of the wooden board to form a shape with narrow ends and wide waist, which is easy to roll on the ground and convenient for storage and transportation.

‌Carbonization‌: The barrel making factory will also carry out secondary baking of the formed oak barrels as needed, which is the carbonization process. Carbonization will further change the wood and form a layer of charcoal on the inner wall of the barrel, which can filter impurities in the wine. The intensity of baking is divided into light, medium, medium-heavy and heavy baking according to customer needs.
‌Capping‌: After completing the above processes, make a groove on the edge of the inner wall of the oak barrel, and then make a barrel cover according to the size of the oak barrel, and embed the barrel cover into the groove at the end of the barrel. After installation, remove the process hoop and replace it with a new hoop.
Through the above steps, a complete oak pallet is made. This kind of pallet not only has high strength and durability, but also performs well in logistics and storage due to its special aroma and waterproof properties.
