 There was it, but, as for the sample sending, as for the full-scale overseas transportation using the container, our first Nakamura sliced veneer finished the first vanning work in EMS safely since its formation to the foreign countries on September 5, 2016. In here North Kyushu, influence of typhoon 12 was worried about for a few days, but became the very unexpected best condition called gentle rain occasionally cloudy (+ soft breeze) on the day when I opened a cover. For this day, I worked quickly than I employed the parttimer of four Chinese foreign students (but a parttimer first as for the employment of foreigners since its formation) and thought. Still it takes nearly three hours (it is difficult to fill the space). . . There will be vanning of the second on Monday on 12th again next week. I want to perform preparations before product mereruyo well better than the first and early.

About wood drying,

I talk about the timing to take wood out of the dryer only a little.

The to know by an appearance may come how you judge that this wood does not need to be dried further, but after all cannot but rely to a tool and a machine as there is not know-how to there to me. So when I say what you use,

The first is a water meter. I use a water meter called HM 520 of blanket science laboratory in us. I only hit the surface of the wood with this and it is very simple and is useful as I understand a hydrous rate of the wood to some extent. However, when it is this, they can measure the water containing rate of the wood which they piled up on the bunch of the wood which cut a crosspiece, but the inside of the bunch and the wood which I loaded below start it from a dryer, and they cannot measure it once when they do not break a bunch. A demerit big there.

And the second is a hygrometer. I install a hygrometer in our low temperature biodryer. This hygrometer shows a considerably high number at the beginning of dry start of straight materials. Natural. As water flows from wood hard; in the dryer is humid. As drying advances, the number of the hygrometer gradually decreases, and this finally becomes approximately 0. We judge an equal sign from the meaning that we may already take out of the dryer as the water does not flow from wood anymore.
