Wood preservation soaking systems

FADOKTOR

Since 2004, our company has been supplying and commissioning non-pressure wood preservation soaking systems as well as pressure impregnation equipment and technologies.

Our key partners include timber yards, wood depots, wood processing plants, and building material distributors who, under controlled conditions and using our equipment that complies with the strictest European and national regulations, are able to provide the most effective preventive wood protection for the construction timber they supply.

Soaking tank wood preservation is a safe, efficient, and cost-effective technology that enables high-quality wood protection with minimal manual labor. Below we present the commissioning steps, the operational advantages, and the importance of selecting the appropriate wood preservative.

Commissioning steps

The installation and start-up of the soaking system follow a well-planned process:

01

Construction of the concrete slab foundation

Based on the foundation plans provided by us

Electrical connection installation

Ensuring safe operation of the soaking system

02

System setup

Mechanical and technological adjustments
Electrical wiring and connection

03

Test operation

System inspection and functional testing

04

Preparation of the wood preservative solution

Mixed to the concentration required by the selected technology

05

Official notification

Formal notification of the commencement of wood preservation activities

06

Main advantages of operating a soaking system



Double-walled safety design

The inner tank contains the wood preservative solution
The outer, so-called containment tank prevents environmental contamination in case of damage



Automatic hydraulic lifting and hold-down system

Equipped with automatic, manual, and emergency control modes
The timber stack remains stable and intact throughout the cycle



Adjustable soaking times and cycles

The automatic control system independently operates the hydraulics
Uniform, reproducible treatment quality



Safe dripping phase

At the end of soaking, the timber stack remains above the solution for 4–6 minutes
Excess preservative drains back into the tank, preventing environmental release



Option for winter operation – solution mixing system

The solution can be homogenized
Sawdust released from the timber is filtered out by the timber stack during lifting



Minimal manual labor and low energy consumption



Excellent and consistent wood protection quality

Important information – selecting the right wood preservative

⚠ The key to quality is choosing the right wood preservative!

For the efficient operation of soaking systems, it is essential to select a wood preservative that matches both the technology and the intended application.

We recommend Remmers wood preservative systems for filling soaking tanks
We provide support from product selection through continuous replenishment
We offer professional consultation and measuring equipment to ensure correct solution concentration and long-term stability.

Advantages of Remmers wood preservatives

Lower initial filling costs
(4–10% aqueous solution concentration instead of the former 15–30%)
Lower specific wood protection costs
Easily maintainable technological soaking times
Reliable absorption of the required amount of preservative.
