When cooperation on the design of sustainable kilns are at its best. Here from one of the latest installations with 3 ACUs on the roof.
Alent ACU® a new technology leap in wood drying
The Alent ACU® (Active Condensing Unit) is the latest technology leap in wood drying from Alent Dynamic® and will play a central role in several areas. Primarily for the energy saving and that heat becomes available for other processes. But also to make pump drying even more efficient by amplifying the dynamic climate fluctuations in the kiln. It provides faster and better drying at the same time as the precision of the WMC, the soft sensor for moisture content measurement, increases.
Previous technology leaps from Alent Dynamic® are;
• Pressurized hot water spraying - today standard within wood drying
• Pump drying - patented dynamic drying process
• WMC (Wood Moisture Content) - online measurement of moisture content (without probes)

LIGNA 2023
15 - 19 May 2023 you will find us at the LIGNA trade fair in Hannover.
Alent Dynamic® is launching a new concept for wood drying. Alent ACU® is a machine solution that via active condensation gives higher performance to the Alent Dynamic process, read more here.

Our dynamic process for wood drying is spreading in Europe
Now it's almost Christmas and normally a time of the year when loved ones get together to just hang out and take it easy. Yesterday Sunday, we lit the 4th candle in the Advent candlestick. Candlelight, dark outside and the warmth of our fireplace spread that peace of mind. The calm that makes us reflect, me too. The first word that comes to mind is pride.
How can sawmills contribute to UN’s Agenda 2030 and strengthen their competitiveness?
How to significantly reduce electricity bills at sawmills?
The solution is switching to a dynamic drying process and thus 25-60% less electricity costs, 2-10% reduced heating, 5-20% shorter drying time and, not least, significantly higher quality. If you convert the effects into money, it can mean €200,000 per year, as in this typical example for three 230 m3 drying kilns.
Can you prove sustainability in your business?
Social responsibility is today very much in focus. With every right, we all need to contribute to a more sustainable world.
We are all familiar with the Agenda 2030. Time flies and it’s only 8 years to go. We talk a lot about it, but how much do we act on it?
By using Alent Dynamic® control system you have made a big step to meet some of the UN’s 17 sustainable development goals (SDGS) and Agenda 2030.
Using Alent Dynamic® control system will give you the possibility to see how much Electrical Energy (kWh) you save per batch.
As a result of decrease in electricity used, you are also able to get a calculation on the saving done in CO2-emissions.

Dynamic drying process from Alent Dynamic used for Oak drying
“Due to increasing prices for electrical energy, we have decided to invest in a more environmental friendly control for our drying process of solid oak. With the patented Alent Dynamic method of “interval drying” we have reduced the electrical consumption in average by 50-55%. At the same time, we have now a faster drying process, which in turns, increases production capacity. With all these benefits we can count on a return-on-investment in the short term.”
