KDS Windsor Completes CDK with Virtual Tour Access

Greenville, NC—KDS Windsor is excited to announce the successful completion of a state-of-the-art continuous dry kiln (CDK) system designed to deliver an annual production of 150 million board feet. This achievement marks another milestone in KDS Windsor’s commitment to innovative, high-capacity lumber drying solutions tailored to meet demanding industry standards.

The CDK system, incorporating KDS Windsor’s patented DrySpec® and DryTrack® technology, is engineered to optimize drying rates, quality, and efficiency. Featuring a robust reverse flow double-track design, the kiln integrates several phases—preheating, drying, cooling, equalizing, and conditioning—within a single extended chamber. Advanced control and monitoring systems maintain precise moisture and temperature levels, ensuring consistent output and high-grade lumber quality.

In an exciting addition, KDS Windsor is offering a Matterport virtual tour of the installation, which is accessible here: https://www.kdskilns.com/virtual. This interactive tour features a user-friendly menu, allowing visitors to navigate to specific kiln components. Each area is enriched with Tags, providing pictures, videos, and detailed text that highlight the kiln’s advanced features and functionality. By providing an in-depth view of this complex machinery, the virtual tour demonstrates KDS Windsor’s commitment to transparency and education in the lumber drying industry.

Key features of the project include:
• 50MMBTU Green Sawdust Gasification Burner: This system generates clean, efficient energy using sawdust, reducing environmental impact and enhancing sustainability.
• DrySpec® and DryTrack® Controls: These controls enable precision drying and real-time monitoring, achieving superior moisture content consistency and product quality.
• Innovative Energy Recovery Design: Divided into multiple sections, the energy recovery modules optimize airflow, enhance heat distribution, and significantly reduce energy costs.

“Completing this project underscores our dedication to pioneering kiln technology. We are equally proud to offer a virtual tour, enabling others to experience our innovation firsthand,” said Nick Miletich of KDS Windsor.
