kiln dried lumber
This is a wood that is dried trough kilns. Newly cut woods refers to lumber boards from a tree that was recently harvested. Since the wood isn’t dry yet, it is technically wet and very heavy from the water in it’s interior. Now that means we have to use a process where green wood will be dry out in a kiln or an oven. Air-drying is also an option, this is letting the wood dry out over time in a covered area. Therefore, the problem is wood starts out wet after it is logged and cut into boards, and it needs to dry. The two options are effective but the kiln drying is much more faster and more efficient.
Shuowei can help you with this matter. We offer different kinds of wood drying kiln that is ensured to be high quality. This article can help you determine what kind of kiln would you purchase.
Different kind of wood drying kilns
Conventional Kiln
A conventional kiln uses steam flow into the kiln through pipes and radiates heat into the kiln’s atmosphere. Water content of the wood is converted into vapor by evaporation and discharged from the kiln with the hot air. This type of kiln requires large amounts of energy so compared to other kiln this kiln isn’t economical nor efficient.
Dehumidification Kilns
Dehumidification kilns are among the most commonly used kilns in the wood products industry. An advantage of using this kilns is the continuous recycling of heat within the kiln rather than the discharging of heat from the kiln. The majority of water is condensed and removed as liquid rather than being ventilated to the outside of the kiln.
Vacuum Kilns
A vacuum kiln removes air pressure from the equation almost entirely, allowing you to cause moisture evaporation at much lower temperatures, much faster . The main advantage of this system is a very high-drying speed compared to other kilns although it is more expensive than other kiln but the money you spent is worth it for it’s performance.
Radio Frequency Wood Kilns
Radio frequency kilns run solely on electricity thereby eliminating the need for large commercial boilers. This creates a greener footprint on the environment. The Radio Frequency drying process heats from the inside out which causes the core of the wood to dry first. Radio Frequency (RF ) is a range of electromagnetic waves between audio and infrared, much like a cell phone.
Solar Kilns
Solar powered kilns uses the sun’s energy to provide heat to dry timber. They have low capital investment compared with conventional kilns, and very low operating costs, as the energy is free. The major drawback is that the energy of the sun varies with the time of day, different latitudes and with climate. Any typical person can construct this type of a kiln at home.
Microwave Wood Drying Kiln
A microwave kiln is a device which you place into a microwave conventional in order for it to act like a kiln. Microwave kilns are more suited to a number of smaller projects, particularly wood work and some small furniture work. The principle of this the same as that of household microwave. On the other hand, it is completely environmentally-friendly drying method.
Product advantages

No Damages
Shuowei drying kiln can quickly help you solve the problem of wood drying and ensure that the wood does not crack or deform.
How Does the wood dried?
After harvesting the tree or log, the wood is then sorted and arranged according to length and grade. Once it arrives at the ideal moisture level, it is placed into the kiln. Once the moisture level of the wood is less than 10 percent, it can be removed. The wood is then checked for quality and should be ready to be used in construction or any industry who would use this.
What are The Benefits?
Perhaps the most notable benefit of kiln-dried wood is that it dries much faster than air-dried wood. For manufacturers, this is a huge advantage as they are able to sell the wood faster. Kiln-dried wood typically has fewer defects than air-dried wood. Also, the high temperatures used in the process can kill algae, fungus and mold on the products to ensure the quality of the wood.
Where Can we use this?
Kiln-dried wood works very well for furniture, cabinets and flooring. It typically has a smoother appearance about it, and many find it to be easier to provide the finish with it. With that said, it is still strong and durable enough to be used for other purposes as well, including as a fence, deck boards and other outdoor uses. Kiln-dried wood works the best for crafting furniture and for home and commercial flooring, although there are a range of potential applications for it.

How the product works
The center of the board will lose enough moisture to pass below the fsp, as drying progresses. When this happen, the wood will tend to shrink, but the outer fibers now have a tension set different from the earlier stage of the drying process and will prevent some of the interior shrinking. Moisture sections and stress sections are cut from each kiln sample to monitor the overall process of drying to target moisture content without any drying defects.
drying effect
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. Kiln-dried wood provides a more efficient way to remove the moisture from the wood, while still ensuring the wood is strong, durable and keeps an attractive appearance.
