Total solution for the wood industry

Biomass plant and wood drying chambers

Biomass plants and wood drying chambers for the timber industry

KARA and BES Bollmann realize integrated projects for biomass and wood drying worldwide. By combining KARA's biomass installations with BES Bollmann's wood drying chambers, a single complete solution is created for sawmills, pallet manufacturers, and other wood processing companies. From engineering and heat distribution to assembly, commissioning, and service: everything is designed as a single system.

one integrated solution for biomass and wood drying

A biomass plant and wood drying chambers are technically different installations, but in daily practice they function as a single process.

 

The heat source, heat distribution, control technology, and drying chambers must be optimally coordinated. When this coherence is lacking, it can lead to higher energy costs, lower performance, and unnecessary complexity.

With KARA and BES Bollmann, you therefore choose not multiple suppliers, but one integrated total solution. One point of contact, one technical approach, and one party overseeing the entire system. This results in a reliable and efficient installation that aligns with the daily practices of sawmills and pallet manufacturers.

 

Benefits of an integrated approach

  • One technical point of contact
  • Optimal coordination between heat production and wood drying
  • Higher energy efficiency
  • Reduced project complexity
  • Shorter lines of communication
  • Worldwide service and support
  • From biomass plant to wood drying chamber

Biomass installations

KARA develops and realizes robust biomass installations for continuous operation. Thanks to high operational reliability, fuel flexibility, and low emissions, wood processors can utilize their own residual streams as a sustainable energy source for the drying process.

 

Suitable fuels: See biomass.

 

By repurposing woody residual streams, a circular process is created in which waste streams are converted into usable energy.

Wood drying chambers from BES Bollmann

BES Bollmann supplies high-quality wood drying chambers where drying quality, robustness, and process control are paramount. By integrally designing heat generation and wood drying, an optimal balance is achieved between heat production, heat demand, and drying capacity.

 

It is precisely the technical coupling that determines the ultimate efficiency of an installation in many cases. Buffering, pumps, piping, heat distribution, and control technology play a crucial role in this.

your sustainable total solution

With our advanced technology and years of experience, you're guaranteed a stable, efficient, and future-proof solution for your wood production. We make a difference by combining simplicity, expertise, and reliability in one complete package.

Biomass Combustion Systems
KARA supplies high-quality biomass combustion systems for heat generation in wood drying kilns. Our systems can generate various types of heat: steam, hot water, superheated water, and thermal oil. We also offer advanced power generation options, such as turbines or ORC (Organic Rankine Cycle) systems, allowing you to further increase your energy efficiency. For added flexibility, we can integrate a gas system into your system. This can serve as supplementary support or as the primary energy source, depending on your specific needs. With KARA, you are assured of sustainable, versatile, and customized energy solutions.
