DEVELOPMENT OF PRE-DRYING SYSTEM OF PINUS AND EUCALIPTUS PARTICLES TO PARTICLEBOARD PRODUCTION

ABSTRACT

This work has the main purpose of developing an equipment destinated to the pre-drying of wood particles used in the production of particleboards. The drying effects have been analised, such as particle geometry, pre-drying time, air velocity, above the evaporated water quantity. The equipment of pre-drying showed to be accomplishable by the points of view of efficiency, being indicated the adoption of this pre-drying system by the particleboard industries.

Key words
pre-drying; wood particles; forced circulation air.
