Why Seasoning Required? Green Wood in growing trees contains considerable quantities of water/ moisture. Most of this moisture has to be removed in order to obtain satisfactory performance from the wood in use. Freshly felled wood contains moisture roughly 100 percent based on the oven dry weight of wood. A well seasoned piece of wood should on other hand contain only 10 to 12 percent moisture. An important object of seasoning is to dry the timber to the equilibrium moisture content before use, so that gross dimensional changes through shrinkage, which inevitably occurs in green wood as it tends to attain equilibrium with the surrounding atmosphere, are eliminated. How Seasoning is Done? The method and technology we use is "KILN", which happens to be the most energy intensive amongst wood processing operations claiming an estimated 50-70 percent of the total energy consumed in manufacturing wood products. The timber is stacked in the chamber. Then with Air blower heat exchanges in chamber at pressure. Timber is kept in chamber for 6 to 12 days as per its fiber property. These removes all possible unwanted moisture through fibers. The seasoning Kiln is a chamber equipped with arrangements for heating and dehumidifying the drying air to desired conditions of temperature and relative humidity and its circulation over the surfaces of timber stacked inside. Fans are used for faster circulation of air. Benefits of Seasoning
About Wood India is a tropical country and has more than 80 species of wood. Following are a few varieties of timbers commonly used for producing hand crafted wooden products: Pine (Abies Pindrow), Sheesham (Dalbergia Sissoo), Haldu (Adiva Cardifolia), Rubberwood (Hevea Brasiliensis), Kadam (Anthcephatus Chinensis), Kanju (Haloptelea lategrifoha), Gamari (Cmelina Arborea) and Mango (Mangeferia Indica). 'The use of mango and rubber woods is increasing as these are plantation woods, Moisture content in wood also plays a critical role in quality and finish of the product. Ideal moisture content of standard wood is 6 to 8%. |
