PROGRESSIVE KILN

FLOW

The FLOW Progressive Kiln is a multi-zone drying channel and combines the flexibility of drying kilns with the advantages of continuous, automated loading.
The timber is stacked on the stacking trolleys at right angles to the direction of transport. After the loading process, the stacking cart frame is moved into the respective drying zone in a fully automated way and zone by zone. This system's significant advantage lies in the fact that wood of various length can be stacked on the carts. The drying zones are adapted to the respective requirements. High flexibility and large drying quantities are what make this system unique.
