Drying of Timber Blocks and Board Width

To get a better optimization of drying wood, the differences wide wood need to be worth. The different of widths clearly will make the drying process longer because of the volume of water that must be removed from the timber is larger and heavier. On the other hand dry the wood blocks will make the volume of timber dried in the same size of drying chamber would be less, and of course this will affect the cost of drying the wood at each cubic.

DRYING WIDTH BOARD
Viewed from every detail of process, on the drying wide board there are a variety of situations:
- The volume of wood is greater in the same chamber, at the same time will be longer than the drying of wood drying in blocks.
- The execution faster because then the number of bars that will put a little more, the number of stacking sticks a little too much.
- In certain types of wood, drying while still in the form of boards will easily occur broken or cracked so that the yield of timber to be reduced.
- Risk curved especially at the top of the pile will be bigger, and the percentage scale in a single chamber timber, timber volume will be more at risk of wastage.

WOOD BEAMS
While at block timbers also there are some situations that need to be understood as follows:
- Volume of total timber volume is smaller than the width of the board, but the drying can be faster because the surface area where water evaporates / exit from a larger timber.
- Stick wood that it takes more and take longer to process buildup and dismantling the drying chamber.
- The yield of wood is smaller because after the drying process of reaping will be done on each block of small / medium is. This can be avoided by scrap half smooth beam before entering the drying chamber.
- Blocks of wood can bend but it chances smaller.

Of the various situations at both forms of wood on top, each has advantages and disadvantages. What will be interesting for us is about how we can implement each method in the production. For the production of valuable timber species intermediate or high density, drain boards or beams are not much different, but the board would be more profitable. While the types of wood that has high value, hardness is also high, drying the beam would be much better. Even for teak for example, some factories have been cutting and splitting wood into intermediate size before drying, only then dried and live to scrap once again. In this way they can save and optimize the yield of timber. While on the other hand have to make sacrifices for more drying energy costs. For your timber, please think about which method is better.
