Abstract

A device for wood treatment, in particular for the treatment of components of solid wood or wood by-products (HDF,MDF,etc.) and veneered, for flash period/drying of cold water paints applied on said components, characterized by the use of electromagnetic radiations produced by magnetron (1,2) in the spectrum of 2.450+/-50MHz.
