TECHNICAL FEATURES<br />

- timber stacked crosswise between<br />

hollow, perforated metal<br />

pr<strong>of</strong>iles (<strong>press</strong> plates)<br />

- convective heat transfer to<br />

<strong>press</strong> plates / layers<br />

- air velocity through plates<br />

approx. 5…6 m/s (<strong>in</strong>itiated by<br />

4 fans á 25.000 m³/h)<br />

- conductive heat transfer between<br />

<strong>press</strong> plates <strong>and</strong> timber<br />

- cont<strong>in</strong>uous process control<br />

(temperature probes <strong>in</strong>side wood,<br />

temperature control dry<strong>in</strong>g conditions,<br />

humidity control by dampers<br />
