Problems Existing in my country's Wood Drying Industry
While my country's wood drying industry is in line with international standards and developing rapidly, there are still some problems that cannot be ignored, mainly in:
1. The standardization and normalization of wood drying equipment needs to be further improved, and the market management of drying equipment is not standardized enough.
2. There is a lack of wood drying technical management and operating personnel, and the existing personnel have low cultural and technical levels, and their abilities in drying process control, quality inspection, equipment maintenance, and accident handling are poor.
3. The enforcement of national standards and norms is not enough. Although the country promulgated the national standard "Sawn Lumber Drying Quality" as early as 1986, and other standards and specifications related to wood drying have also been promulgated and implemented, but because the drying technicians and customers do not understand the standard or agree Clearly, quality disputes often occur, causing undue disputes, which will affect the healthy development of the wood drying industry.
4. The awareness of energy saving and environmental protection is not strong. Energy consumption is the main cost factor of wood drying, especially for ultra-large-scale wood drying enterprises, the potential for energy saving and efficiency enhancement is extremely considerable, but currently very few wood drying enterprises have taken measures in this regard. In 2006, my country proposed to build a conservation-oriented society, and corresponding policies and measures were introduced, which provided a good development opportunity for the energy-saving work of the wood drying industry.
According to relevant statistics, at present, my country's dry timber accounts for about 30% of the total sawn timber, while that of the western United States reaches 60%. Although the rapid development of my country's wood drying industry in recent years has significantly improved the drying rate of sawn timber, it is far from reaching the level of developed countries. With the implementation of the international energy strategy, the continuous improvement of domestic and foreign wood processing enterprises and the rapid progress of electronic technology, energy-saving technology, and material technology, wood drying technology is also developing in the direction of high efficiency and green drying. New energy-saving drying technologies such as dehumidification drying and solar drying will be widely used. Conventional drying equipment will be further improved in terms of manufacturability, heat preservation, sealing, and corrosion resistance. The drying cost will be reduced, and the drying quality and economic benefits will be greatly improved. The improvement of the quality of industrial products has laid the foundation.
