Batch kilns

10 Solutions at the cutting edge of technology. In every detail. Valmatics 4.0 is the only control system on the market that provides sawmills around the world with tools to automate and optimize drying in every type of lumber kiln. The system, which was developed for Industry 4.0, has a modern, intuitive user interface and is constantly being developed using the latest lumber drying technology. The high quality of the process is ensured by simulators programmed with data from hundreds of thousands of measurements to enable the calculation of drying processes with unbeatable accuracy from beginning to end. Valmatics 4.0 is also the only control system on the market to combine simulator technology with adaptive control, enabling the optimization of capacity, quality and energy consumption. Simultaneously. Stainless steel unit construction • All kilns are built using Valutec’s stainless steel construction system, an FEM calculated design in 2–10 mm steel. • Prefabricated modules with minimal welding. • Static joints with screw joints and silicone seals. • Resistant to heat expansion and fatigue. • No need for assembly welding. • Great protection against instability and fractures. Efficient motors Valutec’s continuous kilns are built with synchronous reluctance motors as an option. The motors have an efficiency standard of IE5, three levels above IE2, which is the current EU standard. This ensures energy efficiency and minimizes CO2 emissions. Energy savings can reach up to 25 percent, and because the bearings are permanently lubricated, they maintain a 10-20°C lower temperature, resulting in motors with service lives up to four times longer than motors with an IE2 rating.
