All Hildebrand kilns feature a fully automatic Lignomat control system to monitor and control kiln operations. The Lignomat control system stores drying schedules for hundreds of wood species from around the world. Internet connectivity allows wood drying kilns to be monitored and operated via remote control from any computer or mobile device, such as a smartphone, Pad, Laptop.

Benefits of the automatic control system:

·Control up to 32 kilns from a single unit

·Most advanced self-detect and alarm system to help reduce kiln down time, therefore increase kiln output

·New features allow to dry lumber faster

·Saving energy and reducing maintenance cost

·No software to install – no hassle with PC upgrades and control software transfer

·Simple remote control of kilns

·Accurate reading, easy operation and maintenance, online consultation and diagnosis, automatic generation of detailed analysis report and chart

·More than 5000 kilns are running safely and efficiently under control of Lignomat KCS.

LIGNOMAT fully automatic control system combines the most advanced software and hardware equipment of Lignomat, unique design, less hardware, easy to operate.Fully automatic controller has modulating output for heat electric valve and vent motor to maximize the control of energy consumption and adjustment of the temperature and humidity in the dry kiln to save the drying cost, shorten the drying time.

The computer can display and store all the operation data, Inkiln temperature, MC and EMC of each MC probes for data statistics and technical analysis.

Host PC can be connected to internet, printer and other PC for remote control. 

The focus of Lignomat automatic control system is on helping you perfect the drying process for hardwood and high-grade softwood lumber. Tight control, customer inspired options and flexibility in hardware and software promote success for different drying techniques.

 Versatile and Uniform Equipment

Lignomat’s kiln control systems are engineered to operate various types of kilns using the same base hardware and software. This allows ease of operation, equipment familiarity and troubleshooting efficiency, while reducing down time and number of spare parts for multiple kiln operations.

A prime example of technology working in your favor. Developed with customer inspired options and control interface.

Drying histories can be reviewed within the control interface. They can also be saved in a text format to a local computer where they can be imported into a spreadsheet for data analysis and to maintain kiln records. Desktop software is also available for enhanced history review and to export kiln data into your database.
