Kiln Services Ltd Expands Firewood and Woodchip Drying Kiln Solutions for Increased Efficiency
Kiln Services Ltd expands its advanced log drying kiln and wood drying kiln solutions, offering faster drying, energy efficiency, and scalable modular designs.
- (1888PressRelease) February 13, 2025 - Essex, UK - Kiln Services Ltd, the UK’s leading manufacturer of log drying kilns and wood drying kilns, announces its expanded range of efficient and scalable drying solutions. With a focus on faster drying times, lower energy consumption, and modular expansion, these kilns offer an advanced approach to firewood and woodchip drying for industries seeking reliability and performance.
The Importance of Efficient Wood Drying
Drying logs and woodchips before burning is essential for improving fuel efficiency and reducing emissions. Freshly cut logs contain 50-80% moisture, which significantly reduces their energy output and leads to inefficient combustion. Burning wet wood produces excess smoke, creosote buildup, and heat loss, making it unsuitable for both domestic and commercial use.
Kiln-dried logs, on the other hand, achieve optimal moisture levels (below 20%), ensuring cleaner burning, higher energy efficiency, and consistent performance. The controlled drying process also eliminates mold, pests, and fungi, making kiln-dried wood a superior choice for heating and biomass applications.
Innovative Modular Kiln Designs for Scalable Growth
Kiln Services Ltd offers a unique modular kiln design, allowing businesses to expand drying capacity as demand grows. The kilns are available in three module sizes - 12m³, 20m³, and 30m³ - with the flexibility to increase capacity by adding intermediate modules.
This cost-effective expansion method enables companies to start with a smaller unit and scale up to 100m³ or more without modifying the heat source or control system. The modular approach ensures consistent drying performance while maintaining energy efficiency and space optimization.
Advanced Drying Technology: Multiple Air Pass System
Unlike conventional single-pass kilns that vent hot air continuously, Kiln Services Ltd’s multiple air pass system recycles heated air through the wood stack, maximizing drying efficiency. This advanced system:
• Forces hot air through logs at high velocity for uniform drying.
• Reverses airflow every two hours to prevent uneven moisture retention.
• Uses intelligent humidity control to exhaust moisture only when necessary.
By circulating the same hot air through the wood multiple times, this technology ensures faster drying, reduced energy waste, and consistent results. Compared to traditional systems, it can cut drying times and fuel consumption significantly.
Flexible Loading & Fuel Options for Maximum Efficiency
To accommodate different operational needs, Kiln Services Ltd offers three loading methods:
• Crates or IBC units for easy handling and space efficiency.
• Hook bins (up to three per kiln) for bulk processing.
• Bucket loader placement onto an integrated drying floor.
The kilns also support multiple heat source options, including biomass boilers, hand-fired wood waste systems, and fossil fuels such as kerosene and natural gas. Additionally, the optional heat recovery system can increase inlet air temperatures by 40°C, reducing heat consumption and running costs by up to 20%.
