DIAGNOSIS OF WOOD MOISTURE CONTENT VARIATION IN INDUSTRIAL PARTICLEBOARD PROCESS

ABSTRACT

This work aims to analyse the wood moisture content variation in industrial particleboard process. The wood moisture content was obtained from wood arriving in industry up to the wood particles inlet into rotative dryers. High moisture content variation was verified at process’ stages and, also, in particle mixture which feeds the rotative dryers. The verified wood moisture content variation was very high at some process’ stages and it can influence the quality of the produced particleboard.

Key words
wood moisture content; wood particle; particleboard
