Control

The LD3000 drying unit is controlled by the STC1 Controller. To operate the system two controls are set at the beginning of the drying run, in accordance with our drying instructions. Kiln operation is then virtually automatic. The STC1 Controller is housed in a moisture resistant casing fitted with a transparent hinged front cover. An electronic thermometer measures the chamber temperature and displays this information on the control box where it can be monitored by the operator.

Airflow

Air movement is critical in the dehumidification process. The two supplemental fans insure an even flow of the dry warm air throughout the stack.

Drying Chamber

The unit is installed in a home built drying chamber typically constructed from exterior grade plywood and an insulation material. EIPL will recommend the best construction method and the most suitable chamber dimensions for you needs. To minimize chamber construction costs the drying unit has been designed to occupy a minimum amount of space. The unit’s slim design is wall mounted at a ceiling height. This enables the operator to inspect the whole length of the lumber stack without an allowance being necessary for access past the dryer. For ease of installation brackets are supplied with the dryer which are first attached to the chamber wall. The unit is then lifted into position and secured using the hardware supplied.
