Thus, at the current utilization rates, the kilns are operating at approximately 50% capacity. The total annual drying capacity of all the firms in the study is estimated to be 28,000m³ of lumber, while the amount of lumber actually dried in kilns is approximately 14500m³. These companies can be further classified by the degree of additional processing of the material including lumber drying: 3 companies only kiln dried dry lumber 3 companies are involved in sawing green lumber and processing this lumber through the kiln drying 4 companies are engaged in the primary sawing of the lumber, drying and further mechanical processing post drying 24 companies are involved in both lumber drying and further downstream mechanical processing of the dry lumber and one company used an unconventional specialty electrical dryer to dry lumber. The results found that there are 35 companies in Kosovo that commercially kiln dry lumber. The study is based on data collected directly in the field on sawn timber subjects. ![]() ![]() ![]() Abstract: This study presents data on the capacity and operating practices of the lumber drying industry in the Republic of Kosovo.
