Moore's Air Drying Veneer Kiln 



Simple, Efficient and the Cost Is Within Your Reach 



MOORE'S AIR DRYING VENEER KILN gives the operator absolute control 

 over the forces nature uses in its drying process, viz. : volume of air, temperature 

 and humidity. It does even more — it intensifies these forces to suit the various drying 

 problems of the manufacturer. Veneer dried in Moore's Air Drying Process leaves the 

 wood fibre smooth and pores open (no casehardening). It will absorb and hold the glue. 



The loaded car of veneer enters at the green end where the suction fan is located, 

 and progresses through the tunnel toward the heating coils to the opposite end where 

 dry load is removed by transfer car. 



The volume of air used in the drying is controlled by the speed of the fan, also by 

 the adjustable dampers at both ends of the heating coils — a distinct feature of 

 MOORE'S veneer kiln. The air admitted is heated by MOORE'S efficient heating 

 apparatus through which it passes. A thermostatically controlled temperature 

 regulator is placed on the steam pipe, which automatically holds a uniform heat 

 of any desired temperature. A perforated live steam spray pipe is located in the 

 "Throat" between the dampers so that the heated air passing through the veneer can 

 be tempered to any humidity suited to the kind and thickness of stock being dried. 



The building can be constructed of wood, brick, tile or concrete. It can be made 

 any width and length up to 150 feet.
