Abstract: Timber industry and export are an important part of Estonian economy, making affordable industrial scale equipment an important investment for small or starting companies. These companies often develop on-site equipment for wood processing and drying, utilizing pre-existing infrastructure to minimize cost and risk. However, under these conditions custom design of the wood drying kilns is often required.
