Solarkilns – whatever your need, our driers will do the job

Solarkilns is a forward-looking company committed to setting the standard for best practice in the sawmill machinery timber drying industry.

In just over a decade we have worked to revolutionize the timber products business through a combination of our in-house expertise, commercial timber practice, and our licensing of superior drying technologies.

We are actively developing systems and technologies to reach our vision for a more efficient, cleaner and increasingly streamlined timber products pipeline. We aim for sustained profits in an industry that is consistently getting more difficult to maintain - with rising transportation, processing and manufacturing costs as well as added environmental responsibilities.

Our core business involves the manufacturing and sale of

• Solarola Gen 4 kilns
• Solarola Pro-kilns
• Phytosanitary Heat Treatment systems

We also offer Contract Timber Drying - a unique service where we retain ownership of the kilns situated on approved client’s sites. Fees for drying are charged on a contract basis. Our sawmill machinery’s technical drying skills may also be made available online to clients at agreed rates, therefore profitable outcomes need not take years to realize.

• Generation four (Gen 4) technology is designed for larger timber drying operations where sophisticated data logging, reporting and online functionality, and control are important considerations.
• Pro-kiln technology is designed for small professional timber drying and sawmill machinery operations where small numbers of kilns are required and sophisticated base support technologies are not of real value or cannot be justified on economic grounds.

Both levels of drying technology include all of the key features that make Solarola the first-choice option for timber drying and other product drying. Features include - energy creation, management and superior control.

Based on the successful roll on-off structural and operational design, a heat treatment system has been developed for all sizes of operation. This system relies on advanced solar heating technology to save costs whilst sustaining the environment.

By using our sawmill machinery technology for a range of materials, the requirements of IPSM 15 may easily be met in most conditions without supplementary heating and by relying on solar heating alone. Small low cost systems are available for small operations (100 pallet capacity) to 250 cubic metre capacity units for larger operators.
