Development of Close System Compression Hot Press Machine and ItsCompression Trials
ABSTRACT
This paper deals with development of Close System Compression (CSC) Hot Press Machine (Patent Registration No.S00200900266) and its compression trials. To apply steam treatment into a full scale production is almost impossible and costly, because it is necessary to build up a high temperature resistant of autoclave and a boiler to produce and introduce steam into the autoclave. Pressing machine should be set inside the autoclave, as well. CSC Hot Press is a combination of heat and steam treatments. A conventional hot press is equipped with an air-tight seal frame and places in between the two hot plates machine. The high moisture content‘s wood is laying into the CSC and pressed. The trapped wood moistures will produce steam and act as self steam treatment. The machine has successfully compressed full scale Randu and Sengon woods and enchanced their physical and mechanical properties.
Keywords: Full scale, Close System Compression (CSC), air-tight seal frame
