Modular Lumber Kiln

Kiln theory and knowledge

Modular Lumber Kiln

We have developed a line of mid-size kilns which is manufactured in a modular design. This modular design is specifically well suited for those companies looking to expand into lumber drying by making it easy to purchase one kiln at a time. Normally large kiln projects often require multiple kiln construction at the same time to keep the investment cost reasonable per boardfoot loading capacity; whereas, our modular design allows you the possibility of installing one kiln at a time at resonable prices without compromising construction quality, kiln design, kiln efficiency, and control system features.

These kilns enable more midsize lumber companies to expand into more value-added products through adding lumber kilns. We feel very fortunate to be part of the new trent of smaller to mid-size lumber companies.
