About
Shuowei's introduction
Shuowei, established in 1990, is a professional R&D and manufacturing wood drying kiln factory. After more than 30 years of development,a high-frequency vacuum heating wood technology has been successfully developed. This technology is currently the fastest drying technology in the world. This kind of drying method is to dry from the inside out,can make the woods to be dried without any defects. The drying speed is 8-10 times faster than other traditional kilns’.
Shuowei continues to lead the way in innovation and excellence within the wood drying kilns.
Product development history
1990
First Generation HF Wood Dryer
We built our first HF wood dryer — the foundation of Shuowei’s journey in high-frequency wood drying technology. This early model made lumber drying more efficient compared to traditional air-drying.
1992
Vacuum Kiln for Rosewood Furniture
Our second-generation vacuum kiln was used in rosewood furniture factories. It provided precise moisture control for hardwood lumber drying, especially for dense and valuable tropical species.
1997
Motor-Driven Timber Cart Dryer
We introduced motorized timber carts into the kiln system, improving loading efficiency. This generation of kiln dryer for hardwood lumber made it easier to dry large beams and slabs.
2001
Upgraded Wood Kiln Design
The fourth-generation wood drying kiln featured a modernized chamber design. While it lacked pressure functionality, it laid the groundwork for the upcoming high-pressure vacuum kiln systems.
2008
Air Cylinder-Enhanced HF Dryer
We equipped the dryer with air compression cylinders, boosting pressure uniformity. This model became popular for kiln-drying lumber like maple, oak, and acacia, offering faster, consistent results.
2013
Hydraulic Pressure Vacuum Kiln
Our sixth-generation vacuum kiln for hardwood drying featured a full hydraulic pressure system. It delivered exceptional performance in drying thick-section lumber like pecan and black walnut.
2016
Anti-Rust Design with FRP Materials
Corrosion resistance was enhanced with glass fiber reinforced plastics (FRP), extending lifespan and reducing maintenance. This generation was ideal for tropical or high-humidity operating environments.
Since 2018
Stainless Steel HF Vacuum Dryer
We introduced stainless steel interiors for our HF vacuum wood dryers, solving long-term corrosion issues and improving durability in industrial lumber kiln drying operations.
2022 – Today
Smart-Controlled HF Wood Kilns
Our newest models feature intelligent touchscreens for full process monitoring. These smart HF vacuum kilns support precise settings, real-time data, and are trusted by advanced wood products manufacturers worldwide.
