1. Product Detailed Description

The Energy-Saving Vertical Veneer Dryer adopts a vertical stacking and circulating drying system, where veneers are transported through multiple layers while hot air flows evenly across the material.

Working Principle:

Veneers are vertically loaded and continuously conveyed through the drying chamber. A built-in combustion system generates hot air, which circulates evenly to remove moisture efficiently.

Heating System:

Combines hot air convection and heat exchange technology to maximize thermal efficiency and reduce energy waste.

Automation System:

Equipped with PLC control, allowing automatic adjustment of temperature, speed, and moisture content.

Structure Design:

Vertical multi-layer structure greatly increases loading capacity and saves floor space.
