A new kiln delivered by the Swedish family-owned company Valutec Group AB has been built next to the old progressive kilns in Koskisen’s timber yard.

Last month the Technical Research Institute of Sweden (SP) presented the results from its evaluation of two different control systems for timber drying.

With a new continuous kiln from Valutec, Vida Vislanda increases its drying capacity by 48,000 m3.
“ Our previous experiences of working with Valutec have been great. They are a guarantee of quality and their logistics and systems are a good fit for us,” says Karl Lindow, CEO at Vida Vislanda.

Austrian Hasslacher has invested in two progressive kilns from Swedish Valutec for its laminated wood plant in Sachsenburg, Kärnten, Austria.
