The sheer number of timber combined with a widening field of wood products have presented wood maker and producers with what they want is a fast drying and insecticidal equipment. Regarding to this kind of requirement, MAX Industrial Microwave actively introduce a new type wood dryer-Microwave dryer.

Firstly, Microwave machine has a faster drying result: microwave dryer has a unique wave features so it has a instant drying result. The statistics shows that when microwave power is 40kw, the board is from 8mm to 50mm thickness, moisture from 20% down to 12%, the drying time is about 8~10 minutes. The larger power we apply, the faster time we could achieve. However, the drying solution must follow reasonable microwave drying procedures. Otherwise, the internal temperature of wood rise quickly under high microwave power, moisture is accelerated to be evaporated, moisture pressure surpass the wood fiber burden range so the wood is cracked. Hence, we do not randomly increase microwave power to. In addition, if density of microwave energy is too large, the wood internal may explode. Therefore, we need take time to dry wood under correct microwave power.

Secondly, High efficiency is a word we always mention about microwave.“Moisture evaporate”is defined as the amount of moisture is evaporated under 1 kw per hour namely kg/kwh. The higher kg/kwh is the more efficiency we can get. The general moisture evaporate is about 0.8～1kg/kwh. The wood density also has an influence on wood drying time and microwave power used

Thirdly, under microwave dryer, we could obtain high quality wood. There are some disadvantages under regular drying method like deformation, crack, the shrink is not uniform after wood lose moisture. Under natural drying, the surface moisture is evaporated much faster than the internal wood forming a situation that external is dry and internal is still wet. Generally, the cracking dimension is about 10 ~30 cm. If wood is exposed to outside, wood may cause mildew, crack and deformation etc. However, microwave has a better penetration and selection features. During the whole microwave drying process,  from internal to outside and from middle to the edge of wood has an uniform drying effect so we could have a better drying result compare to natural drying.

Finally, economy is also another point. In contrast to old drying solution, microwave dryer has many features including no polluted emission, faster drying time, a small working place, less energy consumption and automatic. On the other hand, microwave is also applied for killing wood insects and wood insect eggs. Regarding to our experiment , microwave only take 3 minutes to kill all insects and eggs under 2450MHZ with 70℃~80℃。

There is doubt that microwave is getting more popular in the wood drying market today. If you are interested in our wood microwave dryer, you feel free to contact with MAX today.
