CAREL is set to participate in LIGNA 2025, the premier international trade fair for wood processing, happening from May 26 to 30 in Hannover. At the event, CAREL will present its advanced solutions for environmental control in industrial processes. The company’s portfolio includes energy-efficient humidification systems, heat recovery units, and integrated control solutions—all aimed at lowering energy consumption and enhancing the quality of finished wood products.
In drying processes, energy efficiency is crucial. CAREL offers solutions that integrate cross-flow heat exchangers and thermal break dampers, capable of recovering up to 70% of the heat from exhaust air and reducing flue losses. This optimisation of processing cycles can significantly lower energy costs and reduce CO₂ emissions by up to 50%.
Another key aspect of CAREL’s offering is heat pump technology: the high-efficiency solution—featuring BLDC compressors, DC inverters, electronic expansion valves, and integrated sensors—is compatible with natural refrigerants and A3 ready. It enables efficient and sustainable condensation drying, with optimal control of temperature and humidity. The offering is completed by a range of programmable controllers and customizable proprietary software for the development of high value-added solutions.
Finally, maintaining optimal relative humidity is essential in wood processing. CAREL offers a comprehensive range of humidification solutions, including the heaterSteam—perfect for compact drying chambers—and the humiFog, a high-pressure adiabatic atomizer designed for large industrial spaces. These systems help preserve wood stability, effectively preventing issues like cracking, warping, and problems with gluing or finishing.
