Energy-Saving Vertical Veneer Dryer
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.
