After successful sales in North America, kiln and drying specialist Brunner Hildebrand used Ligna to flag up the potential of its weight-based measuring system, which can be retro-fitted.

The scales are installed between lumber stacks for easy access and have ultra-sensitive 1g resolution weight cells.

The system uses LED displays and can interface with the user’s computer system, with one PC capable of monitoring and operating up to 16 kilns.
