Sample Timber Drier / Kiln Pictures

At present the controls for the vacuum dryer unit is by Logica with moisture and EMC probes. The controller is fully automated with data logging capabilities. As we are doing more research into the vacuum chamber, we are also developing our own software systems by using PLCs from Siemens, ABB or Allan Bradley.

The vacuum chambers that we have supplied to Japan vary in sizes from small cylindrical 10m3 chambers to rectangular driers in the range of 50m3. The cylindrical chambers are transportable entirely by container minimizing the amount of work required at site. The rectangular driers on the other hand are of the prefabricated panel design. The panels will be shipped to site for installation. The panels will need to be fully welded at site to ensure a proper vacuum seal.
