The iDRY AIR is a modular wood drying solution that can be attached to any shed or shipping container, transforming it into a functional kiln. It simplifies the drying process by integrating essential components like heating, airflow, venting, and controls into a single unit.
Installation involves bolting the unit onto a suitable chamber, such as a shipping container or shed, and connecting it to the appropriate power source. The system is designed for ease of setup, eliminating the need for complex construction or additional equipment. Detailed instructions are available for installing the system onto a customer supplied outbuilding or shipping container, including specifications for the cutout opening.
The iDRY AIR can dry up to 4,000 board feet of lumber, making it suitable for both small-scale and larger woodworking operations.
The system operates on a 208-240VAC, single-phase, 60A electrical connection. This setup is compatible with standard electrical systems, facilitating straightforward installation.
The iDRY AIR is highly versatile, capable of drying both hardwoods and softwoods with precision. It’s particularly effective for 4/4 and dimensional lumber, making it ideal for a wide range of woodworking needs. The system offers a "wood menu" with selectable modes tailored for hardwood or softwood drying. These preconfigured settings ensure optimal drying conditions for different wood types, automatically adjusting airflow, heat, and venting for each selection. Whether you’re working with species like oak, walnut, or pine, the iDRY AIR delivers consistent, high-quality results while simplifying the drying process.
No, the iDRY AIR is not a dehumidification (DH) kiln. It’s an "unconventional conventional kiln" that uses advanced airflow, heating, and venting to efficiently dry wood without energy-intensive dehumidifiers. Operating at just 1–2 kWh, it’s cost-effective, low-maintenance, and designed to handle a wide range of wood species and chamber configurations. Its modular design also allows for easy expansion, offering a versatile and efficient alternative to traditional DH kilns.
