Drying under reduced pressure, with plates or by alternating heating and vacuum phases. Separate systems for deep impregnation, vacuum spraying and steaming before bending.

Official page ↗INCOMAC / chamber drying
Condensation drying with a heat pump, conventional systems and hybrid combinations. From smaller JUNIOR chambers to production setups with energy consumption management.
Explore INCOMAC ↗WHAT DO YOU WANT TO ACHIEVE?
Three purposes of wood preparation.
01 / Drying
We remove moisture from the wood to the target level suitable for further processing and use. The choice depends on wood species, thickness and quantity.
More details ↗02 / Impregnation
We introduce the selected protective agent into the wood. The aim is to meet durability requirements or provide specifically defined protection.
More details ↗03 / Steaming
We prepare the wood for bending with heat and steam. This is followed by forming in a jig and stabilising the shape.
More details ↗Drying is intended to achieve the appropriate moisture content, not to remove all water. Boards, lamellas, beams and other products require different programmes; suitability for logs or special cross-sections is checked separately.
FOR JOINERY WORKSHOPS AND SMALLER BATCHES
In-house material preparation, even on a smaller scale.
ISVE ES JUNIOR / ESC / ES 2
Compact vacuum units with contact heating plates. The top-opening ESC is interesting when there is not enough space to pull out a long trolley.
More details ↗INCOMAC JUNIOR
A range of smaller chambers in 5, 10 and 20 m³ classes. Heat pump, thermal medium, burner or hybrid version depending on the energy available.
More details ↗We compare the usable wood quantity with your stacking method, loading space and the time for the full batch. The chamber size designation alone does not indicate net capacity.
PROGRAMMED CONTROL
The programme monitors the process. You set the target.

A visualisation of the control; this is not a screenshot of the programme or a live measurement display.
What does the person prepare?
They select and sort the material, stack the wood correctly, install the probes and set the programme and target moisture content. At the end, they check the results.
What does the control system manage?
It monitors the readings and, according to the selected programme, controls the available functions: heating, vacuum, ventilation or dehumidification. The scope depends on the technology and equipment.
CHOICE FOR YOUR WOOD
We start with your material.
Tell us the wood species, dimensions, quantity per batch, initial and desired moisture content, and the available energy sources. On this basis we determine the most suitable technology, usable capacity and scope of control.
