Kiln Seasoning

This process is also known as hot air seasoning. It renders timber brittle and bleaches deep coloured timber. In a kiln seasoning, the drying of timber is performed inside an airtight chamber of the oven.Heated air up to temperature range between 35°C to 38°C and fully saturated with moisture is forced inside the chamber.Now the relative humidity is gradually reduced. Until the desired degree of moisture content is attained, the temperature is increased and maintained. According to the construction mode and work mode, the kiln may be grouped into two types, such as stationary kiln and progressive kiln.
