PREDRYERS
Does a Predryer suit your operation? Call the experts at American. Depending on climate, wood species, typical moisture content, inventory levels, site conditions an production schedules, payback may be shorter than you think.

• Downdraft and cross circulation styles available

FAN SHED
Fan Sheds are similar to Predryers except there is no heat source. A Shed accelerates the air drying process while protecting the wood from sun, rain and other degrading elements. Used in combination with a kiln, a Fan Shed can reduce total drying costs.
