RESUMOO objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a qualidade da secagem da madeira de Eucalyptus pellita previamente submetidas aos processos de anelamento e vaporização. A metodologia baseou-se na hipótese de que o uso das técnicas conjuntas de anelamento e vaporização diminuiriam os defeitos apresentados pela madeira serrada após a secagem. Doze árvores de Eucalyptus pellita foram coletadas e seccionadas em toras de três metros de comprimento. A metade destas passou pelo processo de anelamento radial e a outra metade foi vaporizada a 82 ºC. Após o desdobro, as tábuas foram submetidas a secagem em estufa convencional utilizando um programa considerado severo para a madeira de eucalipto. O objetivo disso foi potencializar o aparecimento de defeitos e assim, analisar o efeito dos tratamentos na minimização dos mesmos. Pode-se concluir que a realização do anelamento e aplicação da vaporização melhorou a qualidade da madeira serrada sem comprometer o rendimento final. Os defeitos de encurvamento, arqueamento e encanoamento foram considerados leves, apesar da secagem severa.Palavras-chave: Defeitos de secagem, qualidade da madeira, secagem severa Log steaming and ringment for optimization of eucalyptus wood drying process ABSTRACTThe aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of lumber Eucalyptus pellita previously subjected to annealing processes, steaming and drying under severe drought. The methodology used was based on the hypothesis that the use of combined techniques girdling and spraying would reduce the defects in the lumber after drying. Twelve trees of Eucalyptus pellita were collected, sectioned into three logs 3.0 meters where half of the total spent by annealing (1/3 radius) and the other half were steamed until the center of the logs reached 82ºC. Then the logs were split into boards by successive cuts tangential using a horizontal band saw. The boards went to a conventional drying oven, where a drying program considered severe for eucalyptus wood applied. After drying, it was determined the main defects occurred on tablets, such as cracking index, boards crook, boards bow, cup boards and presence of collapse. Overall, it was concluded that the completion of ring and application of spray improved the quality of lumber Eucalyptus pellita without compromising the final yield of the material. Defects in curving, arching and curling were considered mild, despite the severe drying.
