Nowadays, quite rightly, there is a great deal of focus on TC continuous kilns. These are economical, versatile and flexible lumber kilns, offering a combination of high capacity and the right quality, with the result that they have become a central element in a number of major sawmill investments.

Since its launch in 2019, the Valmatics 4.0 control system has quickly become established in sawmills right around the world. More than 1,200 systems have been sold to date.
   “For example, several major groups have decided to use Valmatics 4.0 in all their lumber kilns, which is having a direct, large-scale impact. More and more are seeing the benefits of making the move to 4.0,” says Robert Weithofer, Valutec’s North American sales agent.
