Factory equipment and the process
Andaman Imports is Australia's premium supplier of quality Burmese Teak ~ boat decking, margin boards and solids.
We process this timber in our Coomera factory in South East Queensland.
We import flitches of teak which may come in sizes as large as 500mm x 200mm. It is then re-sawn on our thin kerf band saw machines to achieve the desired size and grain.
After sawing, the timber goes through our drying process. The teak is placed into one of our four operating kilns where the temperature is strictly controlled over a set period. It is kiln dried to a maximum of 12% moisture content. Our largest kiln has a capacity to dry 60 cubic metres at a time.
Once the teak timber has been dried to our high standards it is selected as either quarter sawn for boat decking and margins or backsawn for furniture / residential / commercial / fit-out use.
