Winsol Phytothermal System

A Electric Wood Drying Chamber is a controlled environment facility designed to reduce the moisture content of timber to appropriate levels for structural, commercial, or domestic use, particularly in rural or small-scale wood processing operations. Unlike traditional air-drying methods, seasoning chambers provide consistent, efficient, and faster drying results while preserving the natural qualities of the wood.

The chamber is used to season (dry) country or farm-sourced wood — often hardwoods and softwoods harvested locally — by controlling temperature, humidity, and airflow. This process prevents common issues such as warping, cracking, and fungal growth, and improves the timber’s durability, strength, and finish quality.

• Insulated Drying Chamber: Retains heat and ensures consistent internal conditions.

• Heating System: Uses electric, biomass, or wood-fired sources to raise the air temperature inside the chamber.

• Air Circulation Fans: Promote even drying by distributing warm air uniformly across stacked wood.

• Humidity Control System: Maintains optimal relative humidity for gradual and controlled moisture reduction.

• Moisture Sensors: Monitor real-time moisture content in the wood to prevent over- or under-drying.

• Control Panel: Allows operators to set and monitor drying parameters such as temperature, time, and airflow.

• Capacity: Varies from 2–10 cubic meters for small setups to 20+ cubic meters for larger rural operations.

• Drying Time: 5 to 15 days depending on wood species, thickness, and initial moisture content.

• Moisture Targets: Typically reduced to 8–12% for indoor use, or 15–20% for construction or outdoor applications.

• Seasoning of farm-grown or country-harvested wood

• Preparation of timber for furniture, doors, windows, and construction

• Rural sawmills, micro-enterprises, and community wood centers

• Pre-treatment of wood for export or long-term storage

• Speeds up drying compared to traditional methods

• Ensures consistent moisture levels and minimizes defects

• Enhances wood quality for value-added products

• Energy-efficient options (solar or wood waste-fired) available for remote areas

• Enables small-scale and rural wood industries to meet commercial standards
