Continuous kilns Brunner-Hildebrand recently introduced a new highly efficient continuous-type kiln , The Alexander HILDEBRAND Continuous Kiln ( HCK-A ). This type of continuous kiln is designed for mills that produce large volumes of lumber product , eg dimension SPF .
Brunner-Hildebrand services all types of kilns from its base in Nashville , US
“ While designing our HCK-A , we put great emphasis on creating exactly the right drying conditions ( temperature , climate , air speed ) for the respective lumber moisture content ,” Mueller said . “ The technical features of each individual drying zone are customized to the drying state and moisture of the lumber passing through .”
Lumber is placed length-wise on carts and dried during transport through a number of zones with separate climates .
“ Ultimately , you will dry lumber in our continuous kiln HCK-A just as you would in a conventional package kiln . Conditions are perfectly adjusted to the lumber moisture content at all times .”
Features :
• Continuous volume feed to bring the lumber product quicker to market
• Integrated with the logistics of the mill
• Multitrack , flexible , and able to dry different species within the same kiln
• Volume drying at the lowest possible cost
• Maximize grade yield
• Optimized energy efficiency in-line with green initiatives and applicable funding programs
• Scalable
• Adapted to any heat source and heating medium .
