About iDrySystems – Global Leader in Drying Technologies

At iDrySystems, we deliver cutting-edge solutions for drying any industrial application—backed by over 40 years pioneering vacuum drying and conventional kilns worldwide. Our patented systems and proven processes serve a diverse range of industries—from wood products to food, insect protein, powders, carbon fiber, and cannabis.

🌍 Patented Vacuum Drying

  • Our vacuum kilns leverage patented plate‑heated and air‑heated systems to accelerate drying in weeks—not years—for wood.

  • The iDRY Turbo series, with heavy aluminum plates and vacuum, dries lumber up to 2× faster than conventional kilns

Versatile Conventional Drying

  • Compact solutions like iDRY AIR bolt to standard containers or sheds and handle up to 4,000 board-feet per cycle.

  • Simple touchscreen controls, bi-directional airflow, and USDA heat‑treat compliance ensure consistent results

Proven Worldwide Installations

  • From North America to Europe, our equipment and services support sawmills, furniture makers, insect protein producers, and cannabis processors.

  • Our wood-drying solutions have transformed businesses with fast, efficient moisture control, featured in Timberline Magazine and user testimonies

 FAQs

  • Vacuum drying is a thermal separation process where moisture is removed from materials by reducing pressure, which lowers the boiling point of water and accelerates evaporation—allowing drying at low temperatures (2-8inHgA) while preserving sensitive materials

  • Vacuum drying is widely used in pharmaceutical, biotech, food processing, chemical powders, composite materials, agriculture, and wood (e.g. lumber & biomass) industries, particularly where heat-sensitive or hygroscopic products are involved

    • Vacuum drying lowers operating temperature and shortens cycle times, ideal for heat-sensitive materials.

    • Autoclave (vacuum or steam sterilizer) focuses on sterilization via steam under pressure; vacuum autoclaves also use vacuum to aid drying but are primarily sterilizers, not moisture-removal dryers

  • Typical industrial vacuum drying operates around 2-8inHgA where water boils at 100-130°F. Systems generally support temperature ranges up to 200–250 °F depending on material requirements

  • Oven sizing depends on sample volume, throughput requirements, tray or rack capacity, and potential future expansion. Laboratory, pilot, and production scales are available to match different drying needs

  • Yes. We engineer custom vacuum drying systems tailored to your product specs, throughput needs, material properties, and integration with cleanroom or automation environments.

  • Our machines can include automated vacuum leak detection, pressure/temperature ramp control, full data logging, and compliance with GMP, AS9100, NADCAP, or other standards needed for pharmaceutical and aerospace applications.

  • We offer options such as steam/energy recovery loops, optimized vacuum cycling, advanced insulation, and IoT-enabled controls to reduce energy use and operating costs.

  • We provide turnkey support including FAT (Factory Acceptance Testing), site installation, operator training, remote diagnostics, preventive maintenance, and warranty coverage.

  • Lab trials, pilot-scale testing, and factory acceptance runs are available upon request—enabling you to validate drying parameters before committing to full-scale production.

  • We tailor vacuum drying protocols—temperature, pressure, and cycle profiles—based on material. iDRY is known for designing the drying hardware so the software and process are simple and reliable for the operator.

  • Standard design-to-shipment schedules vary by system size and complexity, typically ranging from 8 to 16 weeks. Expedited rush options are available depending on project scope and geographic delivery location.
