Abstract:

As for drying the thick timber of Schima superba, the drying time is longer while using a normal temperature drying technology. By means of organically combining normal temperature drying with normal pressure superheated steam drying, not only could the drying time be reduce but drying quality was improved by the new technology. The key technology is controling temperature and humidity appropriately when drying technology was changed from normal pressure superheated steam to normal temperature.

Key words: Schima superba, Normal temperature drying, Normal pressure superheated steam drying, Drying technology
