Secovac International

Canadian company specializing in the design, manufacture and installation of lumber dry kiln control systems. SECOVAC's Multizone Control System is one of the most visual, flexible and sophisticated program in lumber drying technology to have been developed in the last decade. The fully automated control program uses the Temperature Drop Across the Load (TDAL) principle to provide actionable information during the entire drying process and to shut the kiln off when the lumber is dry. The AccuStop™ in-kiln moisture measurement system measures the moisture content of a large sample of lumber at various locations in the dry kiln during the drying process. It measures moisture content above and below fiber saturation point, in real-time, within 1% endpoint accuracy, enabling the development of more efficient and effective drying schedules. Launched in 2024, the EchoStop is a no plate in-kiln moisture measurement system, ideal for continuous kilns. The EchoStop is a contactless system that integrates with practically any computerized continuous kiln controller, enabling the operator to optimize the drying schedules of their continuous kilns based on real-time moisture content data, increasing the productivity of the kiln while helping avoid lumber downgrade due to overdrying.
