Cutting drying costs by pre-grading green timber according to strength
conference paper
Pre-grading of green timber can be used to reduce the costs of timber drying for applications where strong dry timber is required. An example is chosen (wood for glue lamination) where the potential drying cost saving from pre-sorting green timber is 35% of the total drying costs (or as much as 9% of the total cost of the wood). Other advantages may be that pre-grading allows wood for different end-uses to be separated and dried specifically for that application using an optimised kiln schedule.
