  • Patent number: 11325276
    Abstract: A method of drying sticks, a related apparatus, resultant product and its uses where the method involves presenting a plurality of sticks in parallel as a single layer, pressing each stick with a bank of pressing members on and/or into at least one face of the sticks, each with plurality of protuberances, thereby to constrain the sticks against crook, and drying the sticks when so constrained. Preferably each bank of pressing members is an underside of a frame or lattice of a stack of such frames or lattices able to receive such a single layer of sticks between adjacent overlying/underlying frames or lattices, the protuberances preferably being only downwardly directed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 18, 2018
    Date of Patent: May 10, 2022
    Assignee: Wood Engineering Technology Limited
    Inventors: Warwick Bosson, Roger Frank Harrison
