Patent ID: 8021508

Claim:
A method for manufacturing a panel containing wood fibers, comprising cutting wood into strands having a thickness and a width perpendicular to the grain direction of the wood and a length parallel to the grain direction, the dimension of the width differing from the dimension of the thickness and the length being significantly greater with respect to the other dimensions and also to the thickness of the panel to be manufactured, applying an adhesive on the strands, forming an assembly of the strands wherein the strands are substantially mutually parallel in the longitudinal direction, then extrusion-pressing by a piston the strands substantially in said mutually parallel longitudinal direction state by applying a thrusting force perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the strands, whereby the greater cross-sectional dimension of the strands will end up in a direction parallel to the plane of the front face of the used piston, and curing the adhesive.
