The new generation of continuous kilns combines its high capacity and operational economics with a drying quality comparable to batch kilns. As the world’s biggest supplier of continuous kilns, Valutec is heavily involved in the trend for the increasing use of this drying technology.
The basic principle for a continuous kiln builds on heat and moisture being transported with air circulated past the timber using fans. The climate for each timber package changes during transport through the kiln.
Via close collaboration with both leading international research teams and customers, Valutec has refined the kiln solutions so that the company’s continuous kilns offer maximum capacity utilization, the perfect quality and ultimate economy in the drying process.
