Lumber kiln controls

Kiln theory and knowledge

Lumber kiln controls

Our lumber kiln controllers has been developed specifically to work well with our lumber kiln design, but can easily be adapted to work well on nearly any lumber kiln. They come in three general models with the latest model based on different PLC. These models are VIKING, ODIN, and THOR. THOR is the latest and most capable model and ODIN is the least expensive with nearly all the functions of THOR, but with all the features. VIKING was our original computerized PLC based kiln controller and we naturally still service and provide spare parts for these.
