Mühlböck supplied two drying kilns to Eschelmüller Holz in Austria. The new type 602 drying kilns have an entrance width of 17.5 m, the net capacity is 270 m3 (gross 500 m3 per drying kiln), as the company says in the press release received by Lesprom Network.
Eschelmüller Holz is one of the largest manufacturers of finger-jointed solid wood in Austria. In the future it will be possible to produce not only finger-jointed solid wood but also beam timber, for which the installation is currently in trial operation. 75,000 m3/y finger-jointed solid wood is produced in Jagenbach. Eschelmüller currently has 20 employees. The spruce wood used for production comes from the surrounding area. 15 Mühlböck drying kilns are used to dry the sawn timber. Eschelmüller now has a net drying volume of 2,900 m3 at their disposal.
Due to the space available, Eschelmüller opted for a lifting door. The door is made out of one piece, so it seals perfectly and is durable as well as easy to operate. The drying kiln can be loaded with a side or front loader.
The two fresh air/exhaust air drying kilns are equipped with the new K5 control system with electronic humidity sensors which measure the humidity and temperature inside the drying kiln. This kind of climate measurement is maintenance-free, easier to handle and much more accurate than previous measuring systems. The measurement can be carried out by the IntelliPilot system either with or without measuring points. The 100 bar highpressure injection ensures a uniform climate during the drying process.
