Most lumber kilns are built with a manual door opening system, which have the disadvantages of being time-consuming and of putting the operators at risk of occupational injuries. Novilco now offers a simple 120VAC electrical drive that can be easily installed, directly in place of the hand crank. This greatly facilitates kiln operation and reduces risks of injury to the personnel.
The system is built for easy installation, is weather-proof, and it comes fully assembled with support structure, safety guards, chains and sprockets. For more information, visit www.novilco.com or contact us at info@novilco.com .
