Backwall Pallet Kiln System

Backwall unit for building your own Pallet Kiln.

Building your own pallet kiln is sometimes the most economical solution which can save you between 10-20% if a complete/turn-key solution is not a viable option for you. However, it should be mentioned that we have also seen several cases where the customer ends up spending more than if he/she were to buy a complete/turn-key kiln. This is especially true if you take a look at our economy or junior pallet kiln models.

The benefits of building your own pallet kiln have greatly diminished as Kiln-direct has become increasingly efficient in building pallet heat treatment kilns. In addition, we have expanded our line of complete kilns to include 5 versions. These 5 versions start with a loading capacity of 300 pallets (1/2 truck load) to 800 pallets (1 1/3 truck load).

Should you still be interested in building your own kiln we have found that the back wall design is the best solution. It has the following benefits:

  • Back wall comes with all components (except main fan header) pre-installed and pre-wired.
  • Main fan header comes custom built for your kiln chamber's width with fans and motors installed.
  • It includes a one day on-site installation assistant and training.
  • Few mistakes are possible when compared to installing individual components.
  • Your construction crew does not need to understand technical kiln theory/design to build and construct a chamber. Plus we come and inspect work.
