Thermal wood production process

Drying

The temperature rises to 130 degrees Celsius, because there is water in the chamber, and at a temperature of about 100 degrees, the water both in the chamber and in the wood starts to evaporate, which causes the wood to dry with steam, steam is a natural protection against wood cracking. The steam also softens the wood, preparing it for chemical changes and modifications.

Thermal modification

The temperature level depends on the desired final result, which is determined by the method of coating the wood. After reaching the maximum temperature, it is fixed and maintained for 2-3 hours (the time depends on the type of wood, its quantity, geometric dimensions). During this period, the vapor environment protects the wood from ignition and also influences the chemical processes taking place in the wood.

Cooling

The temperature in the chamber gradually decreases to 50-60 degrees, after which the wood is ready for mechanical processing.
