Description:
Imagine drying over 1,000,000 board feet (2,359.7m3) of 4/4 (25mm) Hard Maple from Green to 6% each year with a machine that can fit inside a shipping container. The VacuPress 4000 makes it possible for a small mill to act BIG and a BIG mill to act small. Now you can finally produce higher volumes of specialty wood on demand without tying up your conventional kilns for 4 months. Your customers will keep coming back for specialty vacuum dried wood that they can count on and when they come back they’ll buy your conventionally dried lumber too. The VacuPress 4000 can be expanded to work in tandem with other VacuPress 4000s to minimize energy consumption and simplify the loading process.
