DryTrack is a very accurate, wide range moisture content measuring and monitoring system for lumber drying kilns. The use of DryTrack can help produce high quality dried lumber, reduce degrade and energy costs and increase drying production.

DryTrack features are:

• Measurement can start at a fully green moisture content at ambient temperatures or at 80% moisture content (on a dry basis) at operating temperatures
• The system displays readings from each zone and an average for the whole kiln
• It can be linked to any kiln management system (for example Dryspec or an equivalent 3rd party system) or run as a standalone package
• Readings are taken from a large sample of lumber, typically 100 to 120 boards per measuring point

Specifications/Advantages:

• At the end of the drying process DryTrack’s accuracy is typically within 1%
• It prevents the lumber degrade associated with over drying
• It reduces the number of “Wets” caused by under-drying
• DryTrack permits a successful drying process to be repeated charge after charge
• The system can be calibrated to measure various lumber species and thickness
• The system is robust and simple to operate
