Energy Efficiency Without Compromising Drying Quality with Valutec Continuous Kilns

Increasing energy costs and stricter efficiency requirements place higher demands on drying technology. Valutec’s continuous kilns are engineered to minimize energy consumption while maintaining stable and repeatable drying quality.

The kiln design is based on a robust, airtight construction optimized for operation in harsh climates. The stainless-steel structure, combined with high-performance insulation and tightly sealed doors, minimizes uncontrolled air leakage and heat losses. This enables precise control of temperature, humidity, and airflow throughout the drying process.

Process control is handled by Valmatics 4.0, Valutec’s advanced kiln control system. Integrated energy optimization functions continuously adjust drying parameters based on load conditions, wood species, and moisture gradients. This ensures optimal energy utilization while maintaining target moisture content, moisture uniformity, and product quality.

The results speak for themselves. Customer testimonials report energy savings of up to **50%** compared to conventional batch kilns, along with significantly reduced boiler load. As one customer put it:

“If we had known this earlier, we wouldn’t have needed to invest in a new boiler. We would have invested in a new kiln.”

With Valutec’s continuous kilns, you’re not just investing in lower energy costs — you’re investing in future-proof production, higher capacity, and sustainable profitability.
