The manufacture of OSB is a mix of art, science, and engineering. In practice, it relies heavily on experience with the process rather than the laws of science. This book aims to provide comprehensive information on the basics of OSB manufacturing, based on the knowledge and experiences of the author. This book will serve students, practitioners, and industry decision makers alike. For students of OSB, this book provides basic information on equipment, parameters affecting production costs and performance of the products, ideas for research, and background information to ask intelligent questions. For practitioners, this book should provide ideas for improving processes and products, reducing production costs without sacrificing product quality, and producing high-performance products in relatively inexpensive ways. For decision makers in the OSB industry, this book contains an outline of critical information for the selection of important equipment that will affect the production capacity and performance of their firms.
