Progressive Kilns

Thanks to Brunner Hildebrand’s artificial intelligence (Computer control system B9400), a modern progressive dry kiln achieves the same quality results in terms of final moisture content distribution and final moisture content as a conventional batch kiln. In the end you have a modern and very flexible kiln dryer on the highest technical level. Among other things, the time intervals for the advance in the kiln are adapted – in connection with the control of the moisture contents of the timber – to the progress of the dry (also wireless). Special occurrences, as for example failing of the boiler, are considered. The principle counterflow – with or without separation in zones (lengthwise air flow) – is all in all energy saving and comes to meet the natural drying process of lumber. The closer the stacks come to the discharge side, the lower the air humidity and the higher the temperature will be.
