We hope that you and your business have a good start of the year. For Valutec, 2022 was a year when the interest in our technology for lumber drying took major steps forward in North America. Today we have TC continuous kilns running in states and provinces in both the United States and Canada. Further there has been a magnificent response from the industry when it comes to the added value provided by our world leading control system Valmatics 4.0.

Valutec has commissioned the second TC continuous kiln for the JD Irving sawmill group in Ashland, Maine, USA. The ten-zone kiln spans over 210 feet in length and is one of the largest kilns built by Valutec to date. It was commissioned in January and is the fifth TC kiln in operation in the state of Maine. The drying capacity is around 125 MMBF.
