Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Bamboo board manufacturers use bamboo as raw material, split it, shave it thinly, dry and shape it, and produce flat bamboo boards used for flooring materials, interior components, etc. They are responsible for managing processing steps suited to the characteristics of bamboo and maintaining quality.
Description
Bamboo board manufacturers process bamboo into boards used as building materials, interior materials, and raw materials for traditional crafts. First, they transport felled bamboo materials and soak them in water as needed to make splitting easier. Then, using specialized planes, slicers, and press machines, they shave thinly, remove knots and bark, and shape smoothly. Next, they adjust the moisture content through natural drying or drying machines to enhance durability. In some cases, they apply anti-corrosion treatments or coatings, followed by final inspection before shipment. They often combine traditional manual work with modern mechanical processing.
Future Outlook
While attention to bamboo materials as sustainable building materials is increasing, challenges include competition from inexpensive synthetic materials and a shortage of successors. Efforts to maintain and expand demand through inheritance of traditional techniques, high value-added products, and experiential workshop operations are important.
