(Lam.) A. Rich ex Walp is widely used as raw materials in particleboard and match industries in Bangladesh. The current study aimed to identify the drying characteristics of wood for succeeding industrial usages. A compartment kiln dryer (heat and vent dryer) was used in this study. The drying characteristics and drying quality of wood were measured. The boards reached 6-10% moisture content in 13 days from their green condition. The total proportions of the check, twist, and collapse in boards were 22.5, 32.5, and 7.3%, respectively. The volumetric shrinkage was 21.67%. Based on this study, further study may help to develop a complete drying schedule of wood with fewer drying defects for application at industrial level.
(Lam.)A. Rich ex Walp在孟加拉国被广泛用作刨花板和火柴行业的原材料。当前的研究旨在确定木材用于后续工业用途时的干燥特性。本研究使用了一个间隔式窑干机(加热通风干燥机)。对木材的干燥特性和干燥质量进行了测量。板材从其初始含水率在13天内达到了6 - 10%。板材中干裂、扭曲和塌陷的总比例分别为22.5%、32.5%和7.3%。体积收缩率为21.67%。基于本研究,进一步的研究可能有助于制定一个完整的木材干燥时间表,减少干燥缺陷,以便在工业层面应用。
