CUSTOM DRYING & IP COMMERCIALISATION

On-Site Custom Drying: Involves our supplying kilns at our cost for a contracted period and rates of payment based on similar levels to the cost of conventional drying using your own kilns. This cost and our pricing includes depreciation and finance costs plus all of the other costs you would face if you owned them yourself. We take full responsibility for all input costs and, by threat of contract terms we are obliged to produce high quality outcomes at risk of contract termination.

Why is contract drying preferred? We believe that:

  • We can generate our own margin by virtue of our comparatively higher efficiency without adding cost to the alternative of owning your own kilns.
     

  • As manufacturer-operator, the manufacturing and development margins normally passed on to purchasing clients in the upfront price can be recovered by us over time and within our fee structure. As such, the upfront cost of our installation is lower than it would be if clients purchased them. The flow on to this is that the finance company gets a smaller cut out of the operation, directly reducing cost of service.
     

  • As a manufacturer, ongoing spare parts costs and inventories can be streamlined by efficiently sharing them across a number of drying sites.
     

  • As a manufacturer and developer of both superior technology and prescription, we are expert in operation and capable of generating immediate high quality outcomes without significant onsite training.
     

  • Our online and highly developed control technology allows us to cost-effectively manage the process better with minimal onsite supervision than with high levels of onsite supervision.
     



 

 



At the same time, our investment in your kilns facilitates a major operating capital reduction that will make your bank manager or shareholders very happy with a major improvement in your R.O.I. In other cases, scarce capital no longer required for kilns may be freed up for other profit generating uses.

Satellite Custom Drying: Our sister company Enviro-Forest Solutions is being established as our first major satellite drying and processing site. Our plans include establishment of other regional custom drying operations to support numbers of small, yet collectively significant lumber operations. Supplier shareholdings in these ventures will be encouraged and currently in progress. We encourage group inquiries.

Sales: Our plan is to make kilns available for sale in specific circumstances. Likewise we will consider sale of our control system and will make skilled technical staff available to selected conventional kiln owners and operators for who our patented revolutionary cyclic control systems have relevance.

Partnerships & International Distribution: We have commenced our international commercialization objectives by establishing our North American company based in Vancouver, namely Solar Dry Tech Incorporated. We are interested to hear from potential venture partners in various parts of the world to collaborate with us in our future initiatives.

Significant, established companies already in the fields of commercial drying, drying equipment retailers or distributors or connected entrepreneurs with strategic strengths in individual countries may contact the writer. Alternatively, significant potential woodlot owners who have drying needs may be considered as inaugural partners and long term agents for our commercialization plans and initiatives.
