How do BSW kiln dry timber?

The timber is pushed into either batch or progressive kilns on railed bogies.The difference between the two types of kilns involves the static positioning of the stacks within the batch chambers,with the temperature and humidity changing through the drying cycle.In the progressive chamber the kiln packs move forward approximately every 5 hours through changing humidity and temperature.The sequence of changes is called a kiln schedule and the operators use different schedules for different sizes and species of wood.
