Conventional drying is a popular solution for drying wood. The principle of conventional drying is that wood releases moisture when air is blown over it. By heating this air, it absorbs more moisture. The air is heated and forced to circulate through the stacked wood. As the air gradually increases in temperature and relative humidity, it gradually increases in temperature. Once the desired temperature and humidity have been reached, the control system will activate the ideal combination of heating, humidity control, ventilation, and air valves. This removes excess moisture and brings in fresh air.
At BES Bollmann, we demonstrate why conventional drying is an excellent choice for your wood processing needs. This method offers several advantages over traditional air drying:
Fast drying process
The process is significantly faster than outdoor air drying, which reduces throughput time.
Consistent and better quality
The precisely controllable process delivers consistent, high-quality drying.
Killing fungi and insects
During the drying process, mold and insects are effectively eliminated.

Reduction of storage, transport and energy costs, especially in combination with a biomass or wood combustion installation as an energy source.
