Wood drying
Wood must be dried before use. High moisture content makes wood difficult to process and transport. Drying reduces weight, improves insulation properties, increases strength and prevents decay and fungal growth.
Mechanical drying takes place under controlled temperature and humidity conditions. Forced-circulation kilns are common, where fans circulate air inside or outside the kiln chamber. Effective air circulation ensures even heat transfer and removes moisture from the wood load.
NOVENCO Building & Industry fans deliver reliable performance with high efficiency and long service life. This results in stable drying conditions, low energy use and minimal environmental impact.
Food dehydration
Many food processes require moisture reduction to extend shelf life and maintain quality. Freeze-drying removes water by sublimation under reduced pressure, while hot-air drying uses controlled heated airflow to retain nutritional value when operated under proper conditions.
NOVENCO fans support these drying methods by providing consistent airflow, stable temperatures and energy-efficient operation. The robust designs suit production environments in the food industry and contribute to low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
