Vacuum Microwave Wood Drying averts cracks and discolouration

Wood Drying also known as Seasoning lumber or Wood seasoning refers to reducing the moisture content of wood prior to its use. Two main uses of seasoned lumber –
– Wood Working: used mainly as construction material as structural support to a building or woodworking objects.
– Wood Burning: used mainly for domestic or small scale commercial purposes.
Wood is divided, according to its botanical origin, into two kinds: Softwood and Hardwood. Softwoods are from coniferous trees and hardwoods from broad-leaved trees. Softwoods are lighter and generally simple in structure hence easier to process, whereas hardwoods are harder and more complex due to which permeability of hardwood is very, making it more difficult to dry. The density of softwoods ranges between 350 kg/m³ – 700 kg/m³, while hardwoods are 450 kg/m³ – 1250 kg/m³. Both consist of approximately 12% of moisture. In spite of the fact that there are around a hundred times a greater number of types of hardwood trees than softwood trees, the capacity to be dried and processed quicker and all the more effectively makes softwood the principle supply of commercial wood today.

There are two main Microwave wood drying methods namely

1. Vacuum microwave dryer
2. Non vacuum microwave dryer

Non Vacuum Microwave Dryer is commonly used for regular drying whereas Vacuum microwave wood dryer is a high tech and quality drying way. It is applied for high quality required and hard wood drying. Vacuum microwave dryer could rapidly evacuate dampness under a low temperature. The wood interior air has an impact on wood drying capacity. Positive air permeability has a superior drying result.
Features of Vacuum Microwave Dryer:

• Shorter drying period compared to conventional drying
• Maintains original wood color with minimum discolouration
• Heat both internal and external of wood
• Kills all kinds of insects to avoid wood mildew and other issues
• Better drying result
• Lower energy consumption,
• Large capacity,
• Suitable for expensive or high quality wood.
• Energy saving and environmental friendly
• Averagely drying to obtain quality wood
• Reaches accurate water percentage, without deformation and crack
