A CONTINUOUS PROCESS IN A TUNNEL DRYER
A CONTINUOUS PROCESS IN A TUNNEL DRYER
This process is carried out in equal conditions at each stage of drying.

Tunnel progressive dryers

Tunnel progressive dryers are suitable for drying a larger quantity of one type of material, mainly coniferous wood. Effective use is when the need of drying is from 25 000 m3 of wood per year. This is the tunnel drying chamber with a continuous drying process. The timber is placed on trolleys and fed automatically to dryers using a conveyor system, sequentially passes/goes through the drying zones.

Continuously for higher quality

The big advantage of progressive tunnel drying kilns is to provide the same and equal drying conditions for all loaded (dried) material and shortening the total time of drying up to 30% compared to conventional chambers loaded/fed by forklift. Low consumption of electric and heat energy is achieved by using efficient heat recovery units. Each KATRES´s progressive tunnel drying kiln is designed individually according to customer specification so that it was possible to take maximum benefit of the technological advantages of the method of drying in these chambers/kilns.

The advantages of equal wood drying

  • ensuring equal conditions of drying during the whole drying process
  • individual solutions and the configuration of the dryer according to the customer needs
  • considerable savings in operating costs in the long term
  • low consumption of electric and heat energy
  • a significant shortening of the total time of drying

EFFICIENCY AT HIGH PRODUCTION
When you request the high production wood
drying we strive for maximum efficiency.
During the drying in the tunnel kilns the great demands are placed on the continuity of the entire drying process, especially to ensure the same drying conditions. No less important is the efficiency of the process, and thus the return on investment in this technology. Therefore, our tunnel kilns have been designed to suit all these demands and at the same time deliver in the long term the maximum appreciation/value in the production volume and quality.

PRESSURE FRAMES TECHNOLOGY
We use the pressure frames technology in our tunnel dryers.
Our tunnel dryers are equipped with a pneumatic pressure frames that by acting in combination with the correct drying conditions cause permanent deformation in cellular structure. The result is a straight, stress free quality dried timber, the higher added value and many satisfied customers.
