Probabilistic Analysis of Timber Drying Schedules
Drying Technology, 2003Abstract Timber drying schedules are primarily chosen to achieve a certain final moisture content accompanied by a minimum amount of board degrade. However the schedule adopted also influences the dispersion in moisture content between boards at the end of drying.

Impregnation and Drying Schedule of Eucalyptus Wood
Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2011The aim of this research was to define a rapid and simple test that would indicate the probable performance of a pretreated wood species in a hot-press drying process and the kiln schedule. The drying rate (mass/time) and the remaining mass of water were measured at different moisture intervals.

Assessing the Influence of the Drying Schedule on Moisture Variability in the Batch Drying of Timber
Drying Technology, 2004Timber drying schedules influence the dispersion in moisture content between boards at the end of drying. Both a single set-point schedule and a double set-point schedule are selected to illustrate the concept. A simple deterministic drying model that can predict moisture content as a function of time for a single and double set-point schedule is ...

Integrated scheduling of the drying process in a sawmill
Computers & Chemical Engineering, 2021Abstract Wood drying is a critical stage in the sawmill production process since it will enable achieving the wood characteristics needed to meet market requirements. Generally, it is a batch process that is carried out in drying kilns that operate in parallel out of phase. Boilers fed with by-products generated in other productive sawmill stages are

Evaluation of drying schedules
AIChE Journal, 1969AbstractA generalized drying program that can simulate any drying conditions has been solved on a computer. The program includes the variation of humidity, temperature, and wind velocity over drying material. These three variables can be treated as functions of time.

Drying Schedules for Canelo Wood
Drying Technology, 2013Canelo wood is a highly valued native species in Chile that shows delicate marbling patterns with a pinkish soft silver luster. Due to its decorative qualities, canelo wood is dried for the manufacture of furniture and musical instruments. However, canelo wood lacks vessels cells that typically transport the water in hardwoods. Per its drying behavior,

Stacker-reclaimer scheduling in a dry bulk terminal
International Journal of Computer Integrated Manufacturing, 2012A dry bulk terminal acts as a multi-modal interface for transhipping iron ores. Stacker-reclaimers are the dedicated equipments in storage yard for iron ore handling. Both unloading and loading processes are supported by stacker-reclaimers in most cases. The operation efficiency of dry terminals heavily depends on the productivity of stacker-reclaimers.

Optimizing radiata pine drying schedules
Wood Material Science & Engineering, 2011Abstract In an era of increased energy costs and concern about profitability, using the best drying schedule is important for softwood drying. The first part of this study looked at the feasibility of finding the combination of dry bulb, wet bulb and air velocity that either minimizes overall drying cost or maximizes profit in a simple radiata pine ...
