Drying Optimizer - Saptek®
The Saptek® Drying Optimizer provides a completely automatic method of sorting lumber into two groups based on moisture content.
The overall results mean more uniform packages in terms of drying characteristics. Therefore, kilns will be easier to operate and moisture content after drying will be more uniform.
The Saptek® Drying Optimizer utilizes an alcohol-based chemical reagent that is sprayed on the end of the lumber. A vision system analyzes the color of the chemical reaction to determine whether the piece of lumber belongs to the group requiring longer drying time (fir) or the group requiring shorter drying time (spruce and pine).
