THE MF2 & MF4 WOOD DRYERS
The MF2 and MF4 are rugged, reliable wood drying
systems designed for the larger wood retailer or
sawmill needing regular supplies of thoroughly dried
wood with minimal delay. The units can be installed
singularly or in multiples to provide drying capacity to
match any need.
DURABILITY
The rigid tough frames are designed to cope with drying
chamber conditions. Specially treated heat exchangers
are used to prevent corrosion when drying species
containing concentrations of acids, notably Oak.

To minimize further the modest running costs of MF
units, drying chambers should be well insulated.
Overheating in warm weather is prevented using
the EIPL venting unit.
To ensure even distribution of heat throughout the
woodstack, it is necessary to install supplementary
fans inside the drying chamber. EIPL can supply
suitable fans from a range of specially selected
models.
