Why Iroko Wood?
Iroko belongs to the tropical hardwood class and is especially preferred in tannery drum applications due to its outstanding properties, including:
- High resistance to moisture and chemical environments
- Strong resistance to cracking and deformation
- Long-term structural stability
- High mechanical impact strength
These advantages make Iroko an ideal material for tannery drums.
During the manufacturing process, ERMAKSAN uses only carefully selected Iroko timber that meets strict drying and processing standards. The drum lids and mounting bolts are manufactured from 316L grade stainless steel, ensuring maximum chemical resistance and extended service life.
