Ilim Timber invests in the modernization of progressive kilns. Valutec will convert three of Ilim’s existing 1-zone kilns to modern 2-zone progressive kilns, as the company says in the press release received by Lesprom Network.

Valutec's Ingo Wallocha is one of the main speakers at the upcoming Optisaw West.  

Canadian Forest Industries spoke to three suppliers of continuous dry kilns (CDKs) to offer insight for sawmillers trying to decide what drying system that would work best for their mill.

On Saturday April 28 the West Coast Dry Kiln Assosiaction will hold its spring meeting at the Spirit Mountain Casino/Hotel in Grand Ronde, Oregon,
“We are looking forward to hearing about the challenges faced by sawmills and their needs. A lot is going on in terms of development and I am sure that we will have many interesting discussions,” says Ingo Wallocha Manager at Valutec Inc.
