Mindanao casket-maker installs DOST-FPRDI lumber dryer
- Details
One of biggest casket-makers in Mindanao is almost done putting up its furnace-type lumber dryer (FTLD), after DOST-FPRDI researcher Caesar A. Cuaresma supervised the facility’s installation last March.
According to DOST-FPRDI’s Pedrito A. Lontok, “The 3,000-board-feet capacity lumber dryer of King Jude Metal Caskets and Accessories is about 70 percent completed, after the major parts were put in place last month. The owners requested for the immediate construction of the dryer so that they would be better able to meet the quality and volume requirements of St. Peter Funeral Parlors, their sole client.”
Funds for the dryer were loaned from the DOST’s Small Enterprise Technology Upgrading Program (SETUP).
