“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.”
Technology leap in wood drying has saved hundreds of millions of kWh
More than 10 years have passed since Alent Dynamic introduced the Alent pump as a technological leap in wood drying. The new drying method has now saved over 400 million kilowatt hours of electricity at the sawmills and it will increase at a faster pace as Alent gets more and more new customers and existing customers buy more systems. Alent had a sales record during the first half of 2021 and now pump drying has increased sharply also for hardwood (Oak, beech, etc.).
