PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a veneer sorting device that contributes to reduction of a running cost in transporting a veneer.;SOLUTION: When a veneer 10 carried out by a carry-out conveyor 7 is a product veneer 12, sorting device 20 is driven to rotate in order to make a needle-shaped body 8a' pierce the product veneer 12 by a guide member 24 and a push-up member 26 (rolling bearing 26a), and when the veneer 10 carried out by the carry-out conveyor 7 is a waste veneer 14, the sorting device 20 is driven to rotate to prevent the needle-shaped body 8a' from piercing the waste veneer 14. This makes it possible to delay progress of wear of the needle-shaped body 8a' comparing to a configuration that the needle-shaped body 8a' is made to pierce both product veneer 12 and waste veneer 14 and the veneers are transported by a prick-holding transporting conveyor 8. This makes it possible to extend replacement timing of the needle-shaped body 8a' and reduce a running cost.;SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 15;COPYRIGHT: (C)2019,JPO&INPIT
