Diseño de un Sistema de Secado de Madera para la Empresa Parquet Los Pinos

Abstract

A Wood drying system has been designed at “Los Pinos” Parquet Enterprise, located in the city of Riobamba. The purpose of this investigation was to cope with an enterprise’s need, that of pursuing a low cost drying accelerating process for obtaining high quality standards for preventing damage from wood deformation. The wood dryer is a system composed of three main parts: a dryer metallic structure, an air conditioning-heating system and a compound fuel metal pot. The machine will work on a continual day and night basis, while the process of the drying activity is still on. In order to reach the control on certain variables, for example, moisture, temperature, and air velocity, the parameters are gauged by means of microcontrollers which are updated electronic equipment. Through out the setting of this industrial system, the wood factory will be able to improve its wood floor production in a more reliable way. Thus, the system will be capable of using wood waste and debris constituting the fuel for the dryer, which in turn will produce steam. Environmental conservancy has always been the writer’s main concern which goes along with the prospective professional intention of becoming a productive person for making people become conscientious about energetic progress and preventing them from becoming dependant on oil by-products. At the end of this research, it was concluded that the variety of dryers was great; however, a convective one showed to be the most appropriate. This paper also contains a complete investigation on wood industry destructive agents and methods to combat them.
