Question: Can we dry pallet in a pallet heat treatment kiln?


Short answer:

First, lets us ask you: Why would anyone purchase a pallet kiln without also wanting the ability to dry pallets. Well, not all pallet heat treatment kilns on the market today can be used to both heat treat and dry pallets. Kiln-direct does not design kilns or control systems without this dual purpose. Our kiln computer software even allows you to develop up to 200 individual heat treatments or drying programs to easily serve your complete customer base.

It is possible to dry pallet in a pallet heat treatment kiln if you have a way to vent the moisture from the pallets to the outside. This can either be a constant like venting system that open and closes during the heat treatment cycle. However, lately we have been studying a possible new drying method for pallet which we call "Oscilating Heating and Cooling Cycles". This new method is descriped in detail below with two trial runs in two different kiln/locations.
