To increase its drying capacity HS Timber is investing in one FB-continuous kiln and modernization of three older continuous kilns from Swedish Valutec to its sawmill in Finish Luvia.  Additionally, the delivery includes Valutec’s control system “Valmatics 4.0” to the four continuous kilns.

At a time when low-cost mass production and solutions are the norm, it’s worth remembering why custom products from specialized companies will always have their place.

Valutec's kiln operator control system Valmatics 4.0 has recently seen advancements within multiple operational features. With AI-inspired computational models and machine learning, their adaptive control has become even more powerful, while these new features enhances everything from individual lumber packages to the entire drying operation.

Visit us at TP&EE in Portland and we will tell you why sawmills all over the world choose Valuec as their main kiln supplier. 

Thursday 2:45 pm Valutec Robert Weithofer will discuss lumber drying and AI.
