Wood Drying Kiln
A wood drying kiln is a type of kiln used to store wood in an enclosed space. The wood is heated by regulating the time and temperature inside the kiln, allowing the moisture within the wood to evaporste and dry. It is controlled so that the moisture content of wood can be reduced to a target point without having any drying defects.
Wood Dryer
A drying machine that is too large will increase the cost of drying for some small furniture factories or timber shops. To meet their needs for a high-quality service while staying within their means, we offer small drying machines. Wood drying reduces the moisture content of wood before its use. Making the wood workable and easy to use.
Vacuum Kiln
The vacuum kiln offers a special benefit for drying hardwoods. When dried in a traditional drying kiln, hardwoods are very prone to drying, cracking, and deformation. However, when dried in a vacuum kiln, which removes air from the kiln, the moisture in the wood is allowed to evaporate from the inside out to achieve uniform drying without cracking.
Dehumidification Kiln
Although a dehumidification kiln’s drying time may be longer, the final drying quality of the wood is still good. The heater is powered by a fan and can be heated using hot water, electricity, or other environmentally friendly heating methods. Costs are decreased, and energy is also saved.
High Frequency Vacuum Kiln
The high-frequency process, when combined with the vacuum process, allows for the rapid drying of high-quality, stable timber, and can achieve uniform moisture content in one pass for thicker timbers. This drying machine is smaller but much faster than the conventional kilns.
Custom Vacuum Kiln
The finished timber sizes used to make large table tops are very large, and some conventional vacuum drying kilns cannot accommodate them; therefore, we can customize the most appropriate kiln to suit the size of the timber and meet our customers’ needs.

Drying for fireplace wood
If you live in a cold climate or now experiencing winter and have a fireplace or woodstove as your primary or secondary heat source, having ready to use dry firewood is essential. The amount of time needed to dry firewood in the oven varies depending on the wood’s size, density, and moisture content. For this small sizes of woods, our smallest series of wood dryers kiln is the best option. Easy and convenient to use.
Types of wood that are best to dry
Wood is divided into two kinds softwoods and hardwood. Softwoods, from coniferous trees, and hardwoods, from broad-leaved trees. Softwoods are lighter and generally simple in structure, whereas hardwoods are obviously harder and more complex. However, in some country, softwood generally describes rain forest trees, and hardwood describes Sclerophyll species. If you want to dry faster you can use lighter and softer woods.
measure drying Quality
To measure drying quality, check this below:
- Moisture content gradient and presence of residual drying stress (case-hardening);
- Surface, internal and end checks;
- Collapse;
- Distortions;
- Discolouration caused by drying.

Main part of Wood Drying Oven
Main Body
Our drying wood is square shape because of the these reason: in our many years of wood drying experience, (1) the square shape has proven to be much more stable and will not collapse compare to other shape, (2) the square wood drying oven can load more woods, and lastly, (3) the square is easy to operate in use.
Generator
This generator is high-frequency and is the core technology of the vacuum kiln. It is heated by a high-frequency medium. The principle is to use an electric field to make the wood moisture at a high speed. It will generate heat from the inside to the outside. It is a direct heating method. The temperature inside and outside is uniform.
Cooling Tower
The cooling tower is an automatic cooling system. Hot steam will appear during the heating process of wood. Its function is to separate the water and steam, and then discharge the moisture in the wood.
Hydraulic Pressure System
There is a set of hydraulic device in the vacuum kiln. We all know that wood will deform and warp when heated. This device can solve the problem of wood deformation. This hydraulic device can provide 6-8 tons of pressure.
Motor Drive Timber Cart
Automatic feeding device, when we investigated the wood drying market, we found that it is very laborious and inconvenient for workers to load and unload wood. Our team has developed an automatic feeding device, which can greatly reduce labor.
Pneumatic Valve & Stainless Steel Pipes
The reason why our drying kiln is of good quality is because the stainless steel vacuum pump and solenoid valve are used, and all the pipes are made of 304 stainless steel, which ensures the safety and reliability of the user in use.
Main Outer Shell
This is the outer part that serves as the protector of the product. This is made out of high quality material such as;
- Aluminum
- Alloy
- Stainless Steel
- and different kinds of hard material
Making the product more sufficient and more enduring.

Bottom FAQ
The wood dryer oven uses high velocity convection air at temperatures of 180 to 350°F (82 to 177°C) to impinge on the boards, quickly drying the coating. Heated air is delivered through a fully enclosed, pressurized supply duct located above the boards and below if necessary.
Wood is air-dried or dried in a purpose built oven (kiln). Usually the wood is sawn before drying, but sometimes the log is dried whole.
The answer is dimensional stability and it is one of the main reasons wood must be dried. Wood begins to shrink in width, and thickness when the moisture content starts to get below 30%. The amount of shrinkage varies by species.
Kiln drying your own wood at home can be a great way to sustainably harvest the materials around you, and dry it fast enough to build furniture with. If furniture is made with wood that is too wet, it will continue to dry and crack, possibly ruining the piece.
The two most popular ways of drying your own timber is by kiln or in open-air. Air dried wood contains much less moisture than green wood, but a little bit more than the faster and more aggressive method of Kiln drying.
Without a kiln, you should try to achieve an air-dry moisture content of 15-20 percent. Further moisture reduction occurs when you move the boards indoors where they’ll eventually reach their equilibrium moisture content
The wood can be dried quickly, yet evenly, vastly reducing any moisture gradient between the edges and the core. This process avoids any drying defects that may occur with other-uneven-drying methods. This technique quickly prevents the conditions for mold to form.
The fastest way to dry lumber is by kiln with high temperature and high airspeed. These can dry lumber with a thickness of 25 mm in about 10 hours to a moisture content of 18%. However, if you want to dry lumber to a moisture level of 8%, an oven needs about 28 days to dry.
The traditional rule-of-thumb for air-drying lumber is to allow one year of drying time per inch of wood thickness. With using wood dryer oven drying time depends with thickness of wood itself.
Other advantages of drying include weight reduction, increased strength properties and more resistance to biological deterioration due to fungi and insects. Therefore, lumber should be dried before use for any applications in further manufacturing.
