Imagine drying over 2,000,000 board feet (4,700m3) of 4/4 (25mm) Hard Maple from Green to 6% each year with a machine that can fit on a standard flatbed truck. The VacuPress 12000 makes it possible for a medium size mill to act BIG and a BIG mill to act small. Now you can finally produce truckload volumes on demand without tying up your conventional kilns for a month. Your customers will keep coming back for bright vacuum dried wood that they can count on and when they come back they’ll buy your conventionally dried lumber too. The VacuPress 12000 can be expanded to work in tandem with other VacuPress 12000s to minimize energy consumption and simplify the loading process.
