BRUNNER-HILDEBRAND LUMBER DRY KILN CO. – Tailor-Made Solutions: Our Standard! Specializing in kilns for Softwood and hardwood, Brunner-Hildebrand has been a proven leader in the industry since 1948. BRUNNER-HILDEBRAND LUMBER DRY KILN CO. which manufactures all types of kilns is located in Nashville, TN. Our dry kiln solutions are based on decades of experience of the demanding lumber drying production conditions in the North American sawmill industry. This experience and expertise ensures that our customers are able to receive individual dry kiln solutions tailored to the needs of each sawmill. Each solution is chosen based on the needs of the customer, their capacity and lumber grade. The possibility of future expansion is always taken into account when designing the solution. Our priority is in providing the best-engineered, installed and serviced product in the market today. Our service network is on stand-by to provide all service support after delivery and installation, be it on location or by remote access. Also featuring our new “GreenKiln” technology for energy management and the Hildebrand Turbo Technology (HTT) to ensure tight fi nal moisture distribution for maximum planer yield. BRUNNER-HILDEBRAND Batch Kilns Track and forklift-loaded kilns are designed for drying packages regardless of dimensions, lumber species and required moisture content. State-of-the-art automation ensures a fully-controlled drying process and the required end result. Track loaded kilns offer shorter loading/unloading time which improves the kiln’s utilization rate. A shelter on both sides of the kiln can be used as a temporary storage space. Continuous Kiln HCK with two tracks (doors optional). BRUNNER-HILDEBRAND Heat Treatment Kilns ISPM15 Is your wooden packaging material in compliance with ISPM 15? More and more countries demand that the wooden packaging of imported goods comply with ISPM 15. In this case you should know what to expect from BRUNNER-HILDEBRAND.

BRUNNER-HILDEBRAND Dry & Heat Treatment Kilns are tailor made and can hold loads of 100 up to more than 2,500 pallets. Leading innovations for climate, heat, and venting systems for an environmentally friendly and energy-effi cient drying time and quality for the packaging industry. Batch kilns, Forklift loaded. Batch kiln, Track loaded. BRUNNER-HILDEBRAND Continuous KILNS Brunner-Hildebrand recently introduced a new highly effi cient continuous-type kiln, the HILDEBRAND Continuous Kiln Alexander (HCK-A). This type of continuous kiln is designed for mills that produce large volumes of lumber, e.g. dimension SPF. While designing our HILDEBRAND Continuous Kiln Alexander, we put great emphasis on creating exactly the right drying conditions (temperature, climate, air speed) for the respective lumber moisture content. The technical features of each individual drying zone are customized to the drying state and moisture of the lumber passing through. Lumber is placed length-wise on carts and dried during transport through a number of zones with separate climates. Ultimately, you will dry lumber in our continuous kiln HCK-A just as you would in a conventional package kiln. Conditions are perfectly adjusted to the lumber moisture content at all times! • Continuous volume feed to bring the lumber product quicker to the market • Integrated with the logistics of the mill • Multitrack, flexible, and able to dry different species within the same kiln • Volume drying at the lowest possible cost • Maximize grade yield • Optimized energy effi ciency in-line with green initiatives and applicable funding programs • Scalable • Adapted to any heat source and heating medium. BRUNNER-HILDEBRAND Control Systems Due to the BRUNNER-HIL- DEBRAND dry kiln automation and control system, our kilns are easy to operate. Creating default settings and using the control system is similar to the Windows operating system, where windows can be chosen from a drop-down menu. Our control system can be designed with a hybrid relative humidity measuring system where we use the EMC wafer from green-to-30 percent MC Dry and Heat Treatment Kilns. and then wet bulb system kicks in automatically for the MC range between 30 percent and 10 percent. The idea here is to take advantage of the accuracy levels of both measuring systems. Of course, one can also choose either one for the full drying cycle. We have also introduced a multi-function MC measuring system to further assist in improving grade. The control system allows combining sample weight inputs and wireless probes based on the level of lumber MC. It is suggested to use sample weights for lumber MC over 30 percent and switch the drying process to shell and core wireless probes once below 30 percent lumber MC. This process takes advantage of the accuracy level of both MC measuring systems and helps to tighten the fi nal MC distribution.
