Environmentally Friendly Drying
One of FGL's Radio Frequency Vacuum Kilns as it's loaded.
Our RFV drying process is one of the most environmentally friendly drying processes in use today. It makes efficient use of the energy it does consume, it uses clean energy, and it produces zero negative emissions.
- Not only does our process use less energy than conventional drying, we are able to dry to the core and do it in a shorter amount of time.
- We use electricity to power our kilns, which in the Pacific Northwest is a clean source of energy. Conventional kilns typically burn hog fuel or natural gas to create heat, and use electricity to supplement the process.
- Our process only emits clean, charcoal filtered and pH balanced water into our city's waste water system. The city of McMinnville is pleased that we are putting so much pH balanced water into the system.
- Our thorough drying and filtering process captures far more Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) than conventional kiln drying does.
