The iDRY TURBO Mini is our heating plate style vacuum kiln. This wood dryer uses heating plates to directly heat wood under a lower vacuum than the other iDRY models, which makes it the fastest method of drying lumber while still offering superior quality over other drying methods. The press option is also very effective with this style of kiln thanks to the heating plates’ ability to distribute all the force of the bladder down on every square inch of the lumber.

This kiln is sized and designed for furniture, cabinet and millwork shops who are looking for the flattest dried lumber possible. Cabinet manufacturers especially have seen 30-40% yield increases and major throughput improvements. Imagine receiving green lumber on Monday, drying it, and putting it directly into your 4 sided planer/moulder by the end of the week! No ripping, cutting and planing to get a flat piece of wood you can actually work with!!
