American Wood Dryers - High Performance Package Kilns for Hardwood Drying

American Wood Dryers, LLC offers High Performance Package Kilns designed for efficient hardwood and specialty material drying processes that necessitate extended drying times. These kilns are ideal for installations with space constraints and feature a double roof design to enhance air circulation throughout the kiln and lumber stack. The implementation of side venting aligned with airflow results in more effective air exhaust compared to traditional top venting, requiring fewer and smaller vents. These side vents are particularly advantageous in regions with ice and snow, as they remain unaffected. The kilns are equipped with increased heat capacity due to additional heating coils combined with high-velocity air from 72-inch fans. The pre-fabricated panel roof design accommodates larger fans within the eave space, minimizing overall structure height. This design approach underscores American Wood Dryers’ commitment to innovation in door sealing, modular components, heat exchangers, and operator controls.
