kiln drying wood
Kiln drying wood is the best choice in wood production mills and serves to efficiently bring wet lumber moisture levels down. This operation makes the wood to be easier to be work with. In drying with kilns, heated air is circulated to rapidly remove the excess amount of wetness from the wood. Each kiln load is sorted by weight and kind to optimize the process and to ensure that the final moisture content levels are even and uniform.
After the process, when woods are dried according to the needed, it is planned to its final shape, sorted to grade and shipped out. For wood flooring or other specific end products, the wood is typically shipped to a manufacturer for further planning, processing, and finishing.

Main Components of Kiln Drying wood
These are the main parts of vacuum kiln:
- Main Body Of Vacuum Kiln
High Frequency Generator
Cooling Tower
Hydraulic Pressure System

How does Kiln Wood Drying Works?
The stainless steel vacuum pump can make the vacuum oven reach -0.093Mpa condition.
The vacuum condition is to let let water vaporized in low temperature below 55 ℃,At the same time, vacuum can also suck the wood moisture out.
The machine cooling system will separate the hot air and hot water out, then cool them and release them out.
Strict Quality Control
For electronic components we adopt the best ones (Schneider brand) , and Stainless steel is used for anti-corrosion vacuum oven. The equipment has been tested throughout the production and before leaving the factory to ensure the operation quality in aspects of power, pressure, air tightness etc., It has passed the all-round quality inspection of SGS, BV and other international testing institutions.
Company Advantage
Shuowei has been devoted deep into the vacuum wood drying field for over 30 year, we pay much attention on improving the operation and developing the designs.
This high frequency vacuum wood dryer adopts many technology to cut down the need of labor, it has a automatically timber cart which allows easy wood feeding, the high frequency heating makes it possible to do a dead stacking (no spacers), and you could leave the system working alone because the pneumatic valves there etc.
How the product works
The kiln process involves the drying of wood in a chamber where air circulation, relative humidity and temperature can be controlled so that the moisture content of wood can be reduced to a target point without having any drying defects. The most commonly used kilns are conventional and dehumidification kilns.
drying effect
Our kiln also adopts vacuum dehydration technology. Wood is drying under a vacuum and wet condition at low temperature. That will ensure wood is no cracks and keep the wood nature color. High frequency vacuum dry kiln is the best choice to thick table top, veneer, thick slab, expensive wood, hardwood, veneer, beam and etc.

Bottom FAQ
The kiln process involves the drying of wood in a chamber where air circulation, relative humidity and temperature can be controlled so that the moisture content of wood can be reduced to a target point without having any drying defects.
Temperatures inside the kiln range from 120 to 190 degrees F, depending on the stage of drying. Although there are kilns in which temperatures reach up to 240 degrees F, they are usually limited to softwoods that dry very easily and low-value hardwoods.
Naturally seasoned wood is cheaper, typically by about 10 to 30 percent. But when it comes to burning, it’s no contest. In virtually every use, whether for a campfire or cozy blaze in your living room fireplace, kiln-dried firewood is better than traditional seasoned wood.
Untreated pine or spruce (whether heat-treated or kiln-dried) are good, inexpensive options. Unlike pressure-treated lumber, untreated or heat-treated wood contains no questionable chemical compounds that may leach into the soil within the bed.
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.
There are many reasons why wood suppliers said kiln-dried logs are better than air-dried logs. Because of the high heat, kiln drying ensures that all insects, eggs, mold, and fungi in the wood are killed and dries off the resin
You can dry wood without cracking by applying a sealant, stabilizer, or salt paste before drying. Finally, you can apply boiled linseed oil or let logs dry as boards to avoid cracking when drying. Treating wood with stabilizing solution keeps wood from cracking when drying.
Because kiln dried wood goes through an important process, it really does make the best quality wood furniture.
Kiln dried wood is less likely to deform or crack than air-dried wood. The kiln drying process helps to stabilize it and makes it harder. This makes kiln dried wood a superior choice for use in construction and furniture manufacturing.
