Promoting transfiguration and low-cost wood steamer for SME

Nowadays, the teak wood that we normally use is from teak plantations. In some communities like Phrae, Phayao, and Nan provinces, local SMEs use teak wood to make furniture, doors, windows, etc. However, they used inappropriate configuration techniques, which not pass drying process led to cup, bow, twist and defecting of the wood. The product is often claimed by customers or sold at very low prices. If the wood is pass drying process these problems will be solved. Kiln dry wood use Boiler costs over 1.5 million baht, which is unaffordable for the local SMEs. Assoc. Prof. Songklod Jarusombuti and the research team created a Kiln dry wood model with a direct heat exchange system. The temperature and relative humidity are controlled by a semi-automation system. The wind speed is controlled according to the airflow. It can drying wood of 500-700 cubic feet at a time and drying teak wood of 25 millimeters thickness until the moisture content lowers to 12% within 9 days.
