Shijiazhuang Hongtao Technology Launches Advanced Wood Drying Room for Energy-Saving Production

Shijiazhuang Hongtao Technology Co., Ltd., a Chinese firm specializing in industrial drying solutions, has introduced a new wood drying room designed to improve energy efficiency and control precision for timber processors.

The company’s system addresses a common challenge in the wood industry: uneven moisture removal that can cause cracking or warping. Hongtao’s drying room uses programmable logic controllers (PLCs) to adjust temperature and humidity in stages, maintaining consistency across different wood species and thicknesses. Operators can set drying schedules based on the target moisture content, reducing the need for manual supervision.

“Many small and medium-sized mills rely on outdated kilns that waste heat and produce inconsistent results,” said a company engineer. “Our unit recirculates hot air to cut fuel costs by up to 20% compared to traditional batch dryers.”

The drying room is built with corrosion-resistant steel and high-density insulation panels, aiming for long-term durability in humid environments. It also includes automatic venting to prevent condensation buildup. Early adopters, mostly furniture manufacturers in Hebei province, reported drying cycles shortened by 15-30% during trial runs.

With China’s timber sector pushing for greener production methods, Hongtao’s solution aligns with the trend toward electrification and smarter controls. The company offers units in multiple capacities, from small workshops to industrial-scale chambers.
