Continuous wins: Continuous Wood Drying Greatness by Valuec

When Spruce Products Limited (SPL) in Swan River, Man., went looking to replace two batch kilns, they were keen to explore continuous dry kiln (CDK) technology. They soon ruled out traditional CDKs without doors, fearing they would lose efficiency. Shopping around brought them to Valutec.

“It’s been performing very well,” says sawmill plant manager Rod Pidskalny. “We were looking for a 2.5 per cent uplift in grade outturn and we’ve met that. We think it’s a little higher than that.”

Beyond grade outturn, Pidskalny says they’ve noticed a significant decrease in drying defects, which has directly benefited their planer operations. They’ve seen fewer planer jams, cross-ups at the lug loader and generally smoother runs, particularly with 2x4s.
