Wood Seasoning refers to reducing the moisture content of wood prior to its use. It is the process of removing its moisture contents to an average equilibrium with the atmospheric conditions of the locality of use. Ideally, wood is Seasoned to that equilibrium moisture content as will later (in service) be attained by the wood so that further dimensional change will be kept to a minimum.
Seasoning Kiln is a masonry chamber equipped with Heating Coils with aluminum fins, Al Fans, airtight door etc. Pre-seasoned wood is stacked inside this chamber and hot air is pumped at regulated levels. This induces an evaporation process, which draws moisture out of the wood. Within 4 to 5 days of kiln seasoning, the moisture content is successfully brought down.
