Title: Advantages of an in-kiln moisture measurement
Abstract: This site has a number of single track kilns drying at high temperature and short cycles. The end result was a high percentage of over dried lumber. This lumber caused a number of delays in the planer mill due to stoppages caused by feed jams. Once the In-Kiln system was installed the kilns were shut down at a preset moisture content to eliminate over drying. This not only improved the grade recovery but one of the main benefits was that the available planer mill run time was increased to such an extent that additional shifts were no longer required to keep up with the dry kilns.
