Using a drying kiln is a great way to bring in more profit to your business. Removing moisture from wood decreases the weight and improves the value of the wood. In fact, dried lumber is worth more than green lumber. Purchasing a drying kiln outright can strain many budgets due to the high expense. And even if you have the budget to buy them outright, it's simply easier to finance drying kilns through Crest Capital.

How a Lumber Drying Kiln Works

A drying kiln holds stacked lumber, separated by stickers so air can move between the boards, in a closed chamber where fans, heat and vents control temperature and humidity through a drying schedule. Conventional, dehumidification and vacuum kilns suit different woods and volumes.

Who Uses Drying Kilns

Sawmills, hardwood lumber dealers, pallet makers, firewood producers and furniture and flooring makers dry wood in kilns.

Kilns, Jointers and Planers

Once lumber is dry, shops surface it on jointers and planers before cutting parts. See jointer and planer machine financing and woodworking equipment financing.

New and Used Drying Kilns

Before buying a used kiln, check the chamber walls, roof and doors for leaks, the fans, heating system and vents, the controls and moisture sensors, and what moving and setting it up will take.
