Product Description
Timber treatment is necessary to increase the durability and lifespan of wooden material. Water damage, insect infestations, and mold or fungus can otherwise degrade the integrity of wooden structures. Timber impregnation treatment under a vacuum-pressurized autoclave can make the wood resistant to such threats, exposing it to an environmentally friendly treatment process for higher strength while maintaining its structure. An autoclave is often ideal for treating wood for buildings, shutters, and door or window frames. As a premier manufacturer of autoclaves for treating and impregnating timber, ETSA can assist you in choosing the right autoclave for your application.
The timber impregnation process starts by forming a vacuum within the autoclave to remove air from the wood and generate pressure. The machine injects the untreated wood with a preservative. With the air removed, the preservative can thoroughly soak into the wood and will not harm its structure or appearance. The preservative improves the wood's resistance to environmental wear, rain, and insect damage while also making the wood last longer. After processing, workers can remove the impregnated wood from the autoclave to dry and begin preparation for shipment.
Application
Treating wood products within an autoclave effectively prevents their damage and decomposition. With a reliable product strength, treated wood becomes a versatile product for a variety of applications, including:
Boat dock, walkway, and bulkhead piling
Commercial lumber
Decking
Door frames
Fencing
Lumber for building construction
Railroad cross-ties
Shutters
Utility poles
Window frames
Applications rely on treated wood products to deliver improved longevity and reduce the need to replace them, so autoclave-impregnated wood offers a cost-effective, sturdy, and significantly safer end product.
Features
1. Double safety protection device :we design double safety device ,manual safety ,and automatic safety interlock ,Only there is pressure inside the tank ,the worker cann't open the door .
2. Automatic set time function and light alarm ,save worker's time ,you can set any time in the control box ,once it finish ,it will stop work and alarm.
3. Quickly discharge chemical :10 minutes to discharge chemical ,improve treated time
4. Perfect tightness :we use air filled style to seam the door and the system match automatic inlet and outlet air pneumatic valve, it can balance tank pressure well .

Company Profile
THE BASIC TREATMENT CYCLE CONSISTS OF:
1 - Initial vacuum: The air is removed from inside the autoclave and from the wood cells by applying vacuum.
2 - Filling with impregnation solution: the solution stored in the tank is transferred to the autoclave under vacuum.
3 - Pressure: pressure is applied inside the autoclave to ensure that the solution permeates the entire surface of the wood.
4 - Discharge of the solution: the pressure in the autoclave is released, and any excess solution is transferred back to the storage tank using vacuum.
5 - Final vacuum: vacuum is applied again in the autoclave to reduce the moisture content of the wood before its removal.
6 - Cleaning: Once the wood has been removed from inside the autoclave,the autoclave walls can be automatically cleaned by applying water under pressure.
An autoclave is essential to the wood impregnation treatment process. we build our wood treatment autoclaves to your specifications and repair and refurbish them as well.
