| To satisfy the broad needs of Wellons Canada’s customers, Wellons has developed a number of kiln structural solutions.Traditional all steel structures.All aluminum structures for use where the wood organics create a corrosive environments; or to prevent structural corrosion when humidification systems are installed in the kiln.Hybrid structures, where aluminum columns may be combined with steel trusses, to prevent column corrosion due to condensation at the lower levels of the kiln chamber.Stainless steel components used in equipment such as steam spray lines, waste boil-off troughs, or condensate return piping to eliminate any possibility of corrosion and eliminate the requirement for repetitive maintenance. Having expended significant resources working with metallurgists to identify the most corrosion resistant aluminum, Wellons has standardized on Grade 1100 aluminum as its kiln cladding material. Wellons panel design uses a continuous connection system throughout the cladding envelope, eliminating any requirement for screwed on flashings that jeopardize the vapor integrity of the enclosure. | |
