Abstract:
A system and method for reducing moisture of a fibrous material includes applying microwave radiation combined with RF to the fibrous material to heat and evacuate moisture from the fibrous material during a heating cycle and optionally alternating heating cycles with drying/cooling cycles. The fibrous material can be, for example, sawn or dimensional lumber. The application of alternating microwave and RF in a controlled and continuous process advantageously mimics the heating, rewetting and drying cycles of a conventional kiln without the need for batch processing. Accordingly, a faster and more cost-efficient drying process is possible with no defects imparted to the wood in the process.

Claim (Index 4):
The system of  claim 3 , further comprising a circulating air device, the circulating air device circulating unsaturated air around the fibrous material and out of the enclosure to remove the moisture evacuated from the fibrous material during the heating cycle.
