  11. Contact Heating Aluminium hot water heating plate The hot water heating plates or heated air (for AirVac) heat the wood very efficiently and help drive the moisture out.

  12. The “Press” in VacuPress Atmospheric Pressure (29.92 in Hg.) The rubber membrane holds the lumber flat and straight with 1200lbs/sqft Low Pressure (4 in Hg.) Atmospheric Pressure (29.92in Hg)

  13. The “Press” in VacuPress • Appox. 1200 lbs per foot of pressure • Does not affect dimension of wood • Prevents: • Cup • Bow • Twist • Crook • Can Eliminate cup, bow and twist already in lumber
