vacIP -VACUUM WOOD IMPREGNATION PLANTS

In the early stages of its development, impregnation in autoclaves was used to

give processed wood the characteristics of durability and protection.

With the growing necessities of the market and with the increase in the demand for

high quality standards, the necessity to add aesthetic characteristics to the wood such

as, colouring, correction of possible defects and flaws and the enhancement of the

typical grain of each type of wood has grown.

Thickly applied coatings giving the wood no possibility to breathe has over the yearsbeen modified thanks to the creation of thin film layers and lacquer. These products,

besides being less expensive, intensify aesthetic characteristics, and the treated

surfaces are also pleasant to the touch.

However, right from the start, less protection negatively influenced one very

important factor: duration.

Types/ Models of vacIP :

i) Single Stage vacIP

ii) Double Stage vacIP

iii) Drying vacIPiv) Tilting vacIP

v) Creosote vacIP

vi) Steam vacIP

vii) Varnish vacIP

i) Single Stage vacIP:

It is a batch type Impregnation Plant in which all processes are carried out in

single Impregnation Vessel.

AEC designs and supply various Sizes of Plants as per Customers work size

and requirements.

ii) Double Stage vacIP:

It is a Continuous type Impregnation Plant in which all processes are carried

out in Two Impregnation Vessel. In the first Stage, Vacuum and Pressure Chemical

Impregnation carried out in Top Vessel and then, in the second stage, Impregnated

materials are Dried and Seasoned in the Bottom Vessel.


and requirements.

iii) Drying vacIP:

It is a batch type Impregnation Plant in which both Impregnation and Dryingprocesses are carried out in single Impregnation Vessel. Hot Air for Drying is

Supplied from a Individual Electrical/ Gas/ Waste Wood Fired Firing Chamber and an

integrated Heat Exchanger.


and requirements.

iv) Tilting vacIP:

It is a batch type Impregnation Plant in which both Impregnation and Dryingprocesses are carried out in single Impregnation Vessel. For Drying Process, Hot Air

is supplied from a integrated Electrical/ Gas/ Oil Fired Firing Chamber attached at the

periphery of Impregnation Vessel. The Main Advantage of this System is, occupying

less Space and for Heavy Duty, Very long Wood Blocks / Timbers can be directly

Loaded from Truck into the Impregnation Vessel, once loaded, the vessel is

positioned Vertically by Hydraulic Cylinders, and then all Processes are carried out

one by one.


and requirements

v) Creosote vacIP:

Creosote impregnation is mainly used for heady duty purposes such as railwaysleepers and utility (electricity and telephone) poles.

AEC has developed a number of advances in modern creosote vacIP to make it more

environmentally acceptable and user friendly.

2 main types of plants are offered:

CR100-vacIP impregnation plants to operate with the newer oils at high

temperatures and meet the most stringent requirements for environmental

protection.

CR80-vacIP developed by AEC in the 80 ft. the tilting impregnation vesselwhere the pre-heater forms part of the single unit plant for treatment of poles

with different retentions in the length of the poles.

Uniform penetration of creosote with a dry surface on the wood after the process.

Low energy use.


and requirements with Advanced technical features, Simple efficient design, Robust

construction and Turn-key supply from Daily capacities 20 m3 to 100 m3

vi) Steam vacIP:

It is a batch type Impregnation Plant in which both Impregnation and Drying

processes are carried out in single Impregnation Vessel. Superheated Steam for

Drying is Supplied from a Individual Electrical/ Gas/ Waste Wood Fired Steam

Generator/ Boiler and an integrated Heat Exchanger. It is mainly used for Wooden

Blocks having more girth.

vii) Varnish vacIP:

It is a batch type Impregnation Plant in which both Impregnation and Dryingprocesses are carried out in single Impregnation Vessel. Hot Air for Drying is

Supplied from a Individual Electrical/ Gas/ Oil Fired Firing Chamber and an

integrated Heat Exchanger.

It is widely used for Varnishing Woods, Electrical Rotors & Stators, and

Transformer Coils and also for many other windings & Coils.

The realisation of VAR-vacIP, Varnish vacuum impregnation plants, designed

to operate using a limited quantity of impregnant/ Varnish contained in the plant, hasenabled firstly, the clear or coloured application of impregnants to be used followed

by primer and finish coatings.

The plant, hermetically closed and operating automatically, eliminates the necessity

for:

a) Specialised personnel;

b) Expensive equipment for treating and filtering of waste from coating;

c) More coating product to be used than is necessary;

d) Expensive controls to guarantee a constant quality level;

Advantages vacIP All Models:

i. The use in the same plant of a wide range of impregnants for the protection or

treatment against woodworm, termites, fungi etc., for wood subjected to Risk

Class 1, 2 and 3.

ii. Perfect homogenous protection against the sun's rays.

iii. Protection against humidity and water: the perfectly homogenous application

waterproofs up to the last micro-pore and makes the wood water repellent.

iv. A new coating process, which gives a perfectly homogenous application and a

total penetration of the resin in the joints, cracks and weak areas which when

using other processes do not receive protection.

v. The fixing characteristics regarding the application of coating products in the

absence of air using ultra high vacuum (vac-vac) enable penetration into the

smallest of pores, reaching a durability level 3 to 4 times higher than normal

coatings.

vi. Maximum bond between primer and finishing coat.

vii. Significant reduction in surface preparation time after applying the primer

thanks to the reduced "lifting of skin" phenomena.viii. Recovery of the entire unused product.

ix. There is no waste of product.

Application on Furniture:

Among the special applications the vacIP is

employed in is the "treatment" of antique

furniture infested with xylophages, such as

woodworm or other beetles.

The furniture is partially disassembled and placed

on the trolley frames. Once the load is complete,

the material is positioned in the autoclave for

treatment using special products.

In this phase, thanks to the combined action of the

vacuum and the atomisation of the repellent, penetration of the treating agent is very

high and is able to penetrate into the most difficult parts to reach of the furniture.

The elimination of woodworm and other insects guarantees the long life of the

element without altering its structure or natural beauty.
