Nordic Line och Classic Line
Two Unique Dry Kilns for Every Requirement
Nordic Line – Our Most Exclusive Compartment Kiln for Maximum Performance and Precision
We have addressed the unique challenges faced by sawmills and developed a series of fully automatic progressive dryers and dry kilns, specifically designed for the harsh conditions in Scandinavia, around the Baltic Sea, Canada, and northern Russia.
Our extensive knowledge of wood species from around the world is our strength – from our own Siberian spruce to South American radiata pine, from European beech to North American oaks, as well as tropical species from Africa and Asia.
This broad expertise, combined with deep experience of the factors most critical in your production environment, forms the foundation for how we deliver our dry kilns
Classic Line – A Reliable and Cost-Effective Compartment Kiln for All Basic Needs
Compartment kilns remain one of the most widely used drying types in the wood industry and continue to hold a dominant position in the dry kiln market.
Their popularity is mainly due to their versatility – suitable for drying all types of wood and thicknesses, while keeping initial investment costs relatively low.
Our standard models include a variety of equipment options designed to ensure maximum drying quality tailored to each customer's needs.
Nordic Line – Built to Last
Robust, airtight, and corrosion-resistant construction
Premium Construction Solutions
We use only high-grade stainless steel in Duplex design for our frameless structural construction. Our wall and roof panels are self-supporting, serving both as structural support and climate protection.
The premium raw material is supplied directly from a Swedish steel mill in coils and then processed into a construction concept unparalleled in the industry. All fittings and fasteners are designed with ease of service and long service life in mind, maximizing your investment."
Delivery You Can Trust
We maintain full control over delivery, allowing you to receive a drying facility built with superior materials and craftsmanship – at a lower cost
Pressure Frames
High-quality dried wood is essential for our customers. To meet these high standards, we equip our Nordic Line kilns with pneumatic pressure frames. By combining the action of the pressure frames with optimal drying conditions, a permanent deformation of the wood's cell structure is achieved.
The result is straight, stress-free, high-quality dried wood, adding value and ensuring satisfied customers who can rely on the final product. All control of the pressure frames is located outside the kiln to ensure maximum reliability and easy maintenance.
Progressive Kilns
The perfect solution for efficient drying of large volumes of wood.
Progressive Kilns
Progressive Kilns are ideal for drying large volumes of a single wood species, primarily softwoods. They are particularly efficient when drying at least 25,000 m³ of wood per kiln.
This type of dryer features a continuous drying process. Wood is placed on trolleys and automatically fed into the kiln via a conveyor system, gradually passing through different drying zones.
