Deer Park Lumber Company Increases Kiln Capacity

The Deer Park Lumber Company, Deer Park, Washington, have found a way to materially increase their dry kiln capacity without constructing additional kiln buildings. This plan is unusual because it is a common practice to increase capacity by building additional kilns,. storage sheds, etc. llowever, Mr. R. L. Wilson, Manager, has decided to adapt edge to edge stacking and the reversible cross circulation system which eliminates all vertical flues in the loads and thereby increases the holding and drying capac- ity by at least 25 per cent. Nine kilns are being remodeled and changed to Moore's patented Reversible Cross Circulation Internal Fan system which will dry the lumber stacked edge to edge because the circulation is crossways the load. New doors and automatic controllers are also being installed on these kilns. The Deer Park Lumber Company expect to be drying lumber in these new kilns by the early part of October.
