Mould treatment and storage improvements for wood and wooden pallets

Moisture can accumulate on the bottom of wooden pallets, on stacking contact surfaces and inside packages. First determine the location of the mould and the state of the wood, and then choose the method of mould removal, mould prevention, drying and storage rectification.

Mould treatment and storage improvements for wood and wooden pallets

The location where mould appears is a clue for troubleshooting

During lumber and warehouse inspections, we have documented mould on the upper surfaces and have also found concentrated anomalies on the bottom of wooden pallets. Check the ground contact, stacking inside and under the wrapping film, and make corrections based on rain, moisture return and storage time.

Water content record and storage process traceability

During a wood product inspection, the moisture content of the delivered sample was qualified, and the analysis considered the effect of drying after being exposed to air for many days. We analyzed the material moisture, surface and middle sampling locations, and storage environment when the abnormality was discovered, along with the inspection records.

The treatment focus is different if the mould has become moldy or if it has not yet become moldy.

Moldy wood is grouped according to mould degree and damage, and is equipped with cleaning, mould removal, drying and subsequent protection. For preventive treatment, soak, spray or vacuum pressurize according to the wood structure, processing purpose and equipment, and provide corresponding absorption and drying suggestions.

Mould removal appearance and subsequent mould prevention process

Photos of partial treatments of the same wooden board record the appearance changes after the mould spots were cleaned. We arrange the cleaning process and subsequent mould prevention separately, with application concentration, contact time, drying and processing recommendations, and follow up the protection through material observation.

Keep treated wood in proper condition

The wood should be stored in a moisture-proof manner. The pallets should be kept spaced apart from the floor and walls, and should be stacked to leave space for air flow and inspection. We connect material drying, roof and wall leakage and packaging inspections, record the processing location of affected inventory, and conduct re-inspections at designated locations.

Frequently asked questions

What parts of wooden pallets are covered by mould inspection?

Check the bottom of the cover, the stacking contact surface, the contact between the pallet and the floor and the cargo. In previous warehouse inspections, it was found that mould was concentrated at the bottom, and we listed these locations as fixed-point inspection items.

How to analyze the moisture changes before and after sample delivery?

We analyze the moisture changes based on the measurement, sampling location, unpacking and transportation placement process when the abnormality occurs, and distinguish the on-site status and the status of the delivered sample.

How does the appearance after mould removal match the subsequent mould prevention?

We record the appearance of the mould spots after cleaning, as well as the status of the materials in subsequent anti-mould treatment, packaging and storage, and complete rectification.
