Division Description

To allow the surplus treatment chemicals to drip back into the treatment vessel, treated wood/wood packs are held in the contained/bunded area (e.g. above the treatment vessel or over a dripping pad) for a sufficient time after the treatment and before transfer to the post-treatment drying area. Then, before leaving the post-treatment drying area, treated wood/wood packs are, for example, lifted by mechanical means and suspended for a minimum of 5 minutes. If no dripping of treatment solution occurs, the wood is deemed to be dry.
