Kiln theory and knowledge

Lumber steaming controls

Our steam chamber controllers comes in two models: ODIN and THOR. Steaming chambers are normally build locally and you only need steam supply, a steam pipe with holes to distribute the steam, steam control valve and the steam controller to make it work. Kiln-direct does produce a complete steam chamber for about 9000 tp 11000 bf capacity (22-30m3). Please call us for more details on this.

Steam chamber controller models.

- Output for Steam valve.
- Full interaction with Wooddryer Link Software.

Thor. (full featured and reasonble priced)

This is our most versatile steam chamber and pallet heat treatment kiln controller with more features and output functions. This is basically a combination steaming and heat treatment controller.

There is little reason to upgrade to THOR for the steam controller unless your lumber kilns uses this model, which would allow you to use similar spare parts for the PLC controllers.
