Key Features

Air Circulation Technology

Rapid Drying Performance

Built on conventional designs, this kiln features a high-efficiency reversible fan system that alternates airflow direction to provide uniform moisture distribution across lumber stacks. The system combines enhanced air circulation and improved heating power to dry softwoods 3-5 times faster, while reducing energy consumption through smart control and aerodynamic design. 

Drying Technology

With over 25 years of innovation, TECH has perfected species-specific drying protocols for softwoods like pine and spruce, incorporating 6-stage humidity profiling validated through 123,000+ hours of trials across forestry of 23 softwood species.

Robust Construction for wood drying kiln

Robust Construction

It is built to last with a 3003 rust-proof aluminum alloy kiln chamber wall and a 6063 aluminum alloy kiln structure. The base pipes of the heat exchangers and all connection components are crafted from 304 stainless steel. This simplifies maintenance and assembly and also ensures the kiln is free of ferrous metals, corrosion resistance and long-term stability.

Smart Control

The upgraded control system enables precise regulation of temperature and humidity. It enables remote control and real time data management , ensuring user friendly, along with high efficiency and energy conservation.
