SII DESIGN KILN
Design / Construction
-
All aluminum structures with aluminum or 304 stainless steel insulated wall panels are designed for your local wind and snow loads.
*Meets local building codes
-
All roofs are constructed with 304 stainless steel insulated panels. *Corrosion resistant
-
Exterior wall and roof insulation panels are "ship lapped" design and are "open backed" to utilize passive ventilation which keeps insulation dry (factory installed insulation guarantees quality)
*Maintain insulation values
-
Building insulation values ranging from R-22 to R-34.
*Saves heating energy
-
Fan decks constructed of 0.050" aluminum for safe maintenance access.
*Safe / sturdy floor to walk on
-
Manually opened R-Lok non-bolted 3" thick R-20+ doors.
*Simple operation
OR
-
Hydraulically opened 5" thick corrugated exterior skins with R-24 rating.
*Allows for 1 man operation
-
Aluminum corrugated or standing seam roofing with no vents or penetrations in roof.
*Eliminate roof leaks
-
All roof slopes are 1/12 pitch exceeding any other kiln manufacturer's design.
*Eliminates ponding roof water
-
Roof mounted Air-Foil passive ventilators move dry ambient air across roof insulation to keep it dry.
*Maintains insulation values
Air Flow
-
Heavy duty aluminum center fan wall with stacked fans and direct drive motors for ground level inspection and easy maintenance, provides air speeds up to 600 FPM.
-
Aluminum baffles (horizontal and vertical) ensure maximum air circulation through the lumber.
*Less by-pass air reduces energy costs
-
Variable pitch "Smithco" fans provide maximum efficiency.
*SII is an authorized SMITHCO distributor
-
Variable speed fan controls provide flexibility for varous species and thicknesses tremendous energy saving.
*ROI in less than 18 months
-
The most uniform air flow and heat distribution available by any design or manufacturuer.
Vent / Humidification Systems
-
SII offers vents in several styles to meet various drying requirements, passive on/off pneumatic, electric modulating, or powered vents with either pneumatic or electric actuators.
*Provides greater flexibility
-
Conditioning steam spray or our "EMC Mistifyer" cool water spray systems utilize stainless steel spray manifolds to eliminate rust stained lumber.
-
Insulated and gasketed vent bodies and lids.
*Minimize condensation and corrosion
-
"EMC Mistifyer" high pressure (800-1200 psi) cool water spray system.
*Saves boiler chemicals and steam
Heating System
-
Heating exchange coils are constructed of 0.083" stainless tube with aluminum fins utilizing steam, hot water, or thermal oil.
*Longer lasting
-
Modulating heat valves with properly matched "float and thermostatic" traps provide consistent heat and condensated flow.
-
Multi-zoned heat distribution allows larger holding capacity while blowing through less lumber depth before re-heating.
Production
-
Holding capacities up to 250,000 bd. ft.
