CIRCULATION IS KING 



Of the three controlHng factors 

 in Dry Kihi operation — -lieat, 

 humidity, and circulation — cir- 

 culation is king. The circula- 

 tion is your transportation sys- 

 tem delivering the necessary 

 heat and humidity to your lum- 

 ber. If your circulation falls 

 down, or is inadequate and not 

 uniform your drying suffers 

 accordingly. 



The largest manufacturers of
