When you install Wellons FEI wood dry kilns in your facility you are doing business with a company that has been designing and making wood dry kilns for over 25 years. You benefit from the experience and know-how of an industry leader with the engineering capabilities and expertise that make it possible to provide you with the highest quality products. Wood dry kilns from Wellons FEI have the enviable reputation for being practical, safe, efficient and durable.
Your wood dry kiln is especially designed for durability. Due to the corrosive environment of a dry kiln, all of the components used inside the kilns are made of aluminum or stainless steel. In addition, the coils are made of stainless steel with extruded aluminum fins for a superior thermal exchange. Fans are completely reversible; we can also install the fan motors inside or outside the wood dry kiln depending on your specifications.
