Kiln drying is a critical process in the lumber industry, ensuring precise moisture control for improved product quality and stability. By regulating humidity and temperature in a controlled environment, it minimizes defects such as warping, cracking, and shrinkage. Compared to traditional wet-bulb systems, modern solutions like the HTS801 offer greater efficiency, reduced maintenance, and more consistent results—which are especially important for industrial-scale operations.

Say goodbye to inaccurate readings, costly downtime, and high-maintenance wet-bulb systems

The HTS801 delivers unmatched precision, reliability, and efficiency—no water required.

  • Highly-Accurate ±0.95% RH
  • Minimal Downtime: Smart probe replacement
  • Maintenance-Free: no water, no freezing
  • Real-Time Monitoring: Automate kiln control

Still using a wet-bulb? Here's what it's costing you

  • Frequent maintenance leading to higher labor costs
  • Inaccurate readings that result in over-drying and increased scrap
  • Frozen waterlines cause disruptions in winter conditions
  • Downtime and inefficiencies lead to production losses
  • Traditional wet-bulb systems aren’t built for modern kiln operations. It’s time for a maintenance-free, high-precision alternative.
