We hope that you will be eager to explore it and that you will find
interest to participate at this event, which was always more than a
simple scientific meeting. We are proud of the positive feedback that
we have always received from our participants, who greatly enjoyed
both the scientific sessions, and the social events
https://www.proligno.ro/en/icwse_programme_2025.htm

Hello Mihaela,
Thank you for your quick response! It’s really great to hear from
you after all these years.
Please check if you can find anyone with a small kiln in Europe? I
recall your excellent presentation on the history of kiln drying at
the Skellefteå IUFRO conference. Perhaps we’ll need to start
looking in museums for a pilot-scale kiln! 😊
I’m not sure which conference you’re referring to, but my current
focus is on the entire value chain from forest to timber buildings. We
are also very interested in advanced manufacturing technologies, so
perhaps we can explore some collaboration opportunities. I’ve looped
in Henri Bailleres, my General Manager, for further discussions.
Looking forward to hearing from you again!
Best regards,
Diego

Dear Diego,
I am happy hearing again of you.
New Zealand sounds good!
Warm!
I will try to find a partner company. The high air velocity is
probably difficult task, but I will try.
Do you plan to come to the conference? It would be a great pleasure to
seeing you again.
Kind regards,
Mihaela

Hello Mihaela,
I hope you're doing well. We’ve had the pleasure of meeting a few
times over the years, particularly when I was professor at Lulea
University of Technology in Sweden.
Currently, I’m working with Scion, the New Zealand Forest Research
Institute. You can learn more about us here:
https://www.scionresearch.com/
One of our stakeholders is Windsor Engineering, a kiln manufacturer
based in New Zealand. You can find more about them here:
https://www.windsorengineering.co.nz/
Windsor is looking to expand into the European market and needs a
partner who can validate their drying schedules for European
structural species such as Spruce and Pine. The drying process is
relatively straightforward. It includes a warm-up ramp, a constant
drying phase at temperatures around 90/60°C, and a cool-down ramp.
However, the airflow velocity is quite high, close to 5 m/s.
Do you have any connections or know of anyone who could replicate
these drying conditions in a small pilot kiln for Windsor?
I greatly appreciate any assistance you can offer and look forward to
hearing from you.
Best regards,
Diego
