The product line BASCHILD CFK includes continuous wood drying tunnels, counterflow specifically.
The drying concept consists of moving the wood through different climate zones. The two flow flows are opposite to each other, so that the latent heat of the outgoing wood heats the incoming wood, while the humidity of the incoming wood conditions the outgoing wood. Significant energy savings are achieved through the intertwining of air flows.

The CFK kilns dry softwood specially, from different thickness and board lenght, from green timber till 10-12% of moisture.

The productivity of each tunnel goes from 30.000 to 100.000 m3/Year.

All drying tunnels are custom designed and configured according to the specific needs and the wood to be treated.

Timber is loaded onto wagons via forklift, which moves forward automatically along the tunnel thanks to a system of pushers.

The software BASCHILD ZOOM makes the drying process fully automatic.
