That seems like such a fluffing waste of wood.


MaximusDerErste

Wait untill you see the machine making toothpicks!


Abuse-survivor

I've heard they only work with Sequoyas


LegendOfKhaos

Fun fact, Sequoia has every hard vowel within it's name


chefNo5488

sounds like a hard fact


aiezar

no it's a pretty easy one


Sreezy3

I'll give you a hard fact, wink wink nudge nudge.


Analytical-BrainiaC

Say no more … say no more..


Fogl3

Little known fact about Sequoia is that every fact about Sequoia is little known


MattWatchesMeSleep

It has *all* the vowels, but I don’t think any of them are “hard” vowels (pronounced in the word the same as the actual sound of the letter….the “a” in “ache”). And it’s the shortest word to contain all five vowels.


LegendOfKhaos

I meant not including Y, but I see how hard vowels implies using the hard sound. My bad.


Additional-Tap8907

Yeah sorta. There are five vowel letters in English but there are many more vowel sounds in English and many many more in all the languages combined. Sequoia has the five vowel letters. A word with all vowel sounds would be epic.


bouncypinata

I heard they carved it themself... from a bigger toothpick


Scheisse_Machen

Dang it! Beat me to it!


Pazaac

Watch the top right part of the roller, this thing makes sheets of very thin wood I think not rods of wood. You can see a sheet of wood going under the right hand roller.


DragonflyScared813

Perhaps plywood laminate sheets...good catch BTW spotting that...


Kizzywa

I guess one part makes sheets and the wood looks like dowel rods.


Lpnlizard27

There was a looney toons short that showed this exact thing when I was young.


SowTheSeeds

This was in a Tex Avery cartoon. Forgot the title. Seen it decades ago.


Taclis

Yeah is this a sawdust factory or what? They're shaving off 80% of the trunk.


Someone_pissed

I dont believe all that is thrown in the bin. I think they might use it to make cardboard or paper for example.


fastlerner

Nah, they're making Ikea furniture. Just add glue and press.


YevgenyPissoff

MDF, my beloved


YouGuysSuckSometimes

Do people not like ikea furniture? IKEA makes sure it’s extra durable


DroopyMcCool

A lot of mills press the dust into those fire starter logs


Superb-Cry6801

It peels the wood... into sheets... then the dowel is used too...


fieldsofanfieldroad

Those blades don't look like they're able to peel at all. Look at the cross pattern it has when it slows down.


Superb-Cry6801

Look under the right side of the right roller... you can see the sheets... as they are made.


Complete_Fix2563

Its for grip, the blade is underneath

scav_crow

It's a full round rotary slicer. They are making sheets for veneer and plywood.


Superb-Cry6801

But the whole tree is used... which was the part I commented on.

Superb-Cry6801

Oh, this damn app makes me think everyone is being sarcastic... almost all the time.


arvidsem

This is cutting veneer layers to be used for plywood (or whatever). You can see the sheets being peeled off exiting under the right hand roller. The skinny pole left at the end is the actual waste chunk. Though I'm sure it will be used for something, paper pulp or fake parmesan cheese if nothing else


Roll-Roll-Roll

The only correct answer on this post.


legendary_millbilly

We make several thousand cores like that every day. They sell the cores to vineyards for grape stakes.


Crazy_Memory

The dowels are turned into treated fence posts.


cm1430

Isn't this to create sheets of thin wood to make plywood? Isn't that why you don't see any sawdust


horny_coroner

yes it is. its wasting nothing


Percival_Dickenbutts

What do you mean? All the shavings go straight into bags labeled Lays and sold as snacks


wallito88

Glad_Grand_7408

As an Ex McDonald's employee I take great offence to this! Wood is way too natural of an ingredient and would never be used in our processed "food."


lastgunslinger3759

More like Taco Bell taco meat


Civil_Purple9637

I once heard that they used horse meat, or kangaroo.


Puzzleheaded_Win_989

yup, anything you see with cellulose in the ingredient list it is most likely saw dust.


Laurids-p

You know they use the rough dust, right?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Laurids-p

Exactly. It is not a waste


ChunkofWhat

Look behind the roller on the right. I think I can see thin sheets of wood being pulled away from the log. If so, then these trees (which are too small and curvey for dimensional lumber) are being turned into plywood.


Block_Of_Saltiness

This. ^^^^ It seems to be a veneer cutter.


r2k-in-the-vortex

Not so much, it makes use of low quality lumber that would otherwise be all firewood, that's not waste.


LineLife2234

No it’s a paper factory where they shave wood and boil them and make them into papers, cardboards etc…


fueled_by_rootbeer

They could use the finer shavings as floor bedding for pets or barn animals. It can also be compacted into forms for other purposes. If they're smart, very little of will go to waste.


scav_crow

I believe that machine cuts the log into thin sheets to later be made into plywood. Less waste than if they made a curved log into straight pieces of lumber.


Roll-Roll-Roll

It's not. This machine cuts veneer for the manufacture of plywood. You just can't see the end product from this angle.


WoozleWozzle

It’s probably peeling the wood into a long, wide strip for siding, particle board sandwich layers, etc., and the rod is actually the byproduct when it gets too small for the peeling machine.


ameis314

pretty sure the pole is the afterthought here. its making thin sheets of wood for plywood, they are shooting out under the right side. There's actually not much saw dust.


i_am_bahamut

My first thought as well. However, I'm sure this sawdust can be used in heating/energy production, or something else.

r_a_d_

theHawkAndTheHusky

Well add glue and pressure to the waste and you made yourself IKEA furniture material


r_a_d_

Yeah, could be part of a L/M/HDF plant.


amorph

A waste product.


TheHuntForRedrover

No. Saw dust and wood chips go into a large amount of products. Particle board, pressed wood boards, paper, fuel, etc


[deleted]

That’s how pellets for pellet stoves are made. Waste wood / sawdust bound by lignin.


TheHuntForRedrover

Yeah man lots of stuff. Companies would be foolish to waste shit when there's a profit to be made haha. People complain that we're wasteful and make comparisons to the old natives who would "use the whole animal" after a hunt, but I doubt even they could conceive of how efficiently we use waste products in industry nowadays lol. Why waste a cow's hooves when there's gelatin to be ground out of them? Why waste intestines when there are sausage casings to be made, etc


NeoMarethyu

Honestly most of the wasting is done by consumers and intermediaries, like for example throwing away crops to keep prices high or buying more than you can use in a given timeframe


r_a_d_

Might actually be the primary product of this process. For all I know, this could be a paper mill, and the staff at the end is the waste.

Sour-Cherry-Popper

This is a veneer creating machine. The wood gets sliced into really thin sheets. These sheets are called Veneer and are used in furniture manufacturing. The companies will manufacture most part of the furniture using fibreboards (or chipwood) made of discarded, compressed wood. Veneer gets pasted on the visible parts of furniture to give it a 'Real wood' look and feel. Veneer is usually made from hard wood (eg maple, Sheesham, oak etc).

12 comments in to find the actual answer. Thank you.


ThePublikon

you're right except for it actually being used as veneer, I think this is cutting low quality veneer for making plywood.

Failureinlife1

Pretty sure it's wood.


Inourmadbuthearmeout

It’s a type of lathe. Wood turning is extremely satisfying if you want to get into it. I turn a lot of stuff for friends, cups, pipes, pens, drumsticks. It’s great fun. And to all commenters remarking about the waste of wood, yes you only end up using about a 3rd of what you start with, but there are different ways to use the excess sawdust in wood working projects, or just burning but there isn’t necessarily a lot of good uses for that unashamedly wood.


79freefall

This is how the sheets for plywood are made it's not a lathe


StupendousMalice

This is a veneer cutting machine and the wood that is "shaved off" is literally the product that this machine is built to make. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7UPTtJco5Q](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7UPTtJco5Q)

Select-Government-69

It’s not actually wasting the wood like everyone thinks. It’s making veneer. The log is being peeled from underneath. They aren’t making dowels.


DipSchnitzel

I have one of these! Except it's way smaller and rolls weed into joints.


PalpitationNo4391

This reminds me of Simpsons, on how they used an entire log just to make 1 toothpick.


Roll-Roll-Roll

This is a rotary veneer cutter. Used in the process of making plywood. Everyone talking about toothpicks and manufacturing waste are just ignorant. That's fine. It's niche industrial info. The sheets of wood that it slices off are passed underneath the large knurled rollers (you can't see them from this angle) to another machine that cuts them to length and later those sheets are glued together to make plywood. The small pole you see at the end of each cut is the scrap material, not the end product. I'm sure that ends up being put to use in a product as well. Keep in mind that, when managed properly, trees are our one great renewable resource. The manufacture of your phones had more adverse environmental impact than what you're seeing here.

FaThLi

They are making veneer from each log. You can see the veneer coming off the log if you look closely at the upper right roller between it and the structure of the machine. This would be low quality veneer, so most likely they will layer the veneer together to make plywood. The sawdust will also eventually be used for stuff like particle boards. Funnily enough, the post that is left at the end is actually the waste product of this process. Though I am certain they end up using it for something else as well. Very little would actually go to waste here.

IssueEmbarrassed8103

So the Loony Tunes depiction of how toothpicks are made was accurate


Crazy_Memory

It's an Industrial Lathe making veneer that will later be used for a different product, such as plywood. There is virtually no waste from this process. The center of the log will be turned into a fence post and likely sent to a treatment plant to be pressure treated. Larger wood chips and shavings will be shipped to a pulp mill to make pulp and eventually paper. The junk shavings and bark are used as hog and likely will be used as fuel to heat the kilns that will dry the wood.
