Color steaming lumberSteaming for color.Steaming for color is the best known reason for steaming and is most commonly done on beech (european) and walnut (american). On beech it is done to provide the customer with a certain color in the range from nearly white to dark brown, which will depend on the length of the steaming period. On walnut the reason is normally to darken the sapwood from it natural light color toward the darker heartwood, which is more valuable. Kiln-direct believe you will recieve the best steaming result if you choose to place the lumber on sticks. However, on steam treatments over 24-36 hours it is not as critical and you can choose to steam deadpacked bundles. Kiln-direct's steam controller has been design to help you achieve the exact color you desires. Our controller prepares the load to a certain condition before moving into the steam process phase. The preparation prevent you from getting different results depending on the conditions of the lumber entering the steam chamber (frozen or not). |
